Why not keep your S10 and fix the hail damage?

Your truck should be paid for by now, and the 4.3 is about as bullet proof an engin as any Chevy put out.

Your newer truck will be more expensive to operate than what you have now, and more difficult to get parts for especially this summer when GM shuts down production AND parts distribution for 9 weeks. Just about any part you may need for the S10 is available aftermarket now.

I thought about fixing it too, but the [up to tennis ball size] hail basically totalled my PU. It has several thousand dollars of damage. The daughter’s car has $6800.00 damage, but insurance will repair it for her.

The mirrors are broken, the plastic around the WS and wipers is gone. No glass is broken, but the right door is dented into the body. I will keep looking for another PU and may have to go with another make. I really like the 4.3 engines.
