Loved the S-10’s from those years. I owned 6 or so including an Xtreme. That looks like a sweet find.

That was a super find!!! I STILL have my 4 cylinder 2003 Chevy S10 that I used to commute to DC back in the day! 255000 miles and still runs like Champ!!! Bought in 2004 with 6000 miles on it from a lady who's husband just passed away for $9750. Can't believe it's 20 yrs old!Found a unicorn last week. My son who loves S Series Chevy trucks and and currently drives a last year produced 2005 ZR2 blazer has been wanting to find a pick up truck for work and hauling his re-enacting gear etc. Been looking forever and most are just bad. 180K+ miles, good old 2000's Chevy rusted Sheetmetal etc. Ended up finding a 2003 ZR5 crew cab (only made 2001-2004) with 45K original miles in Ohio. Had been stored indoors and only driven on the guys property to check on his fences etc. I don't think anybody has ever sat in the back seat. Zero rust, clean underbody, Locking rear diff, trailering, factory fog lamps etc. Even got the window sticker for it. Brand new tires, tinted windows, aftermarket radio with Bluetooth, XM, Apple Car play, back up and front facing camera ready, remote start, alarm etc.
Put a deposit down and drove down last Wednesday and made the 200+ mile ride home. Cold AC, cruise control at 75 mph on the turnpike, let go of the steering wheel and drives true and straight with no shimmy or shaking.
My son had no idea we went down and got it as he just had returned from a re-enactment even in Eastern PA. Needless to say he was pleased.
I was lucky enough that my parents bought my first ride which we did for his ZR2 back in 2019 but this truck he gave us 50% down of the truck once he knew we bought it and is making monthly payments to us for the other 50% of the cost of the vehicle.
The funny thing is I actually had one of these back in 2001 which was a dark green one when I was working for GM in Flint. Like father like son I guess. HAHAHHA

As always , for sharing! Simply fascinating to see that many folks interested in being a part of recreating military history. I wish that I’d thought to take my dad while he was still around. Do you do any of these in the Fall or Spring?Had a reenactment last weekend. USMC vs Imperial Japanese Army at Iwo Jima. It was nice as we had about 5 or so US Marines from WWII that were in attendance. They are getting far and few still around which is sad. They enjoyed our knowledge and realism of the battle and the gear / weapons involved in the battle. It was cool to see a WWI Vet at 90 years old want to hold the 20lb BAR and remember how everything worked / functioned for a weapon he carried to save his life.
If anybody is in SE Michigan, we have another ETO (morning battle) and PTO (afternoon battle) re-enactment on July 8th and 9th in Chesterfield Michigan.
I will keep you posted and go through the schedule. There are some basically all year around, just depends on how far of a drive you want to make. We also have "timeline" events where its wide open as to what you want to portray. People come with French Indian wars, Civil War, American Revolution, Old west with cowboys and Indians, WWI, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War etc.As always , for sharing!

Panthergirl get one too???New toy I picked up today. They’ve been in Asia since 2014. Released in the states this year and hard to find in my area. Honda XR150L. Wanted something to putt around on. Definitely more gas conscious than my HEMI.
That’s the salesman in the pic … not me.
