Old77's 1989 S10 tinkering project

You know, you could slam that thing and use a Bravada transfer case for the best of both worlds.

What is the advantage of the bravado transfer case,and will one fit in a 2wd. There's a reason. Yes I know one is 2wd 1 is 4 wd. But that would give me a dual range gear box in a 2wd. Towing mode and Daily mode.

Agreed. Just wish it was a little bit better where it needed to be.

I believe the Bravada tcase got you all wheel drive? I might be wrong there...

The Bravada got an all wheel drive transfer case with a central limited slip/ viscous coupler type deal between the front and rear outputs. So did the Astro/Safari vans, as well as the famous Syclones and Typhoons. No traction issues when showing the fool in the next lane who's faster

Think I might’ve tracked down a door locally! Supposed to get back to me today for meet up but I’m hoping I can get it for $60. He’s asking $100.

I did! Grabbed it for $60! Someone has spray bombed it in black primer and it does have a dent up near the mirror area that I think is repairable but it rust free and in overall good shape so I got fortunate. Hoping to start working on the S10 within the next couple of weeks. Like you, the holidays are getting i my way of project work LOL I'll be sure and take plenty of pics once things start getting serious.

I DEFINITELY took some time to sit and let the S10 destroyer struggle on his own a time or two that’s how he’ll learn the ways of tinkering

Nah, he’s a good kid. I poke at him every once in a while just to build up a thick skin but as a general rule we get along pretty darn good

I still can't believe how older he looks all of a sudden. I think it's the wooly hat. Looks gangsta.
