1984 S-10 Durango. WILL IT RUN? Give Away Truck? 

Puddin’ you could have totally edited out oil bit, and most people probably would have. That’s the honesty in this channel. Which has found me watching all of what both channels offer. I love it man. It feels good to see .

Puddin....the truck is so happy to be alive, the horn is letting us know that it's alive...!!!!

Anything you can drive home from the boneyard is a keeper. Nice little pick up.

The ol', "Camera died" (while Puddin calls AAA to come get it runnin) trick. Classic!

It's a great looking truck as it sits. The cragars actually even look appropriate.

this is why people love puddin: he shows stuff like forgetting to put the oil in the engine. it would have been super easy for him say in the video "my camera died but trust me i put in the oil" but he's not afraid to show mistakes.

Watched your interview with Derek today, awesome job. Hope you get a ton of new folks coming to the channel.

Clearly derek is an avid viewer of "poodans fab shop". Nice job casually correcting him and powering through. You are the best puddin! Love the videos

Thanks for promoting trades! I am a high school welding technology instructor and I am glad to see someone like you promoting scholarships towards kids getting into the trades. Keep up the good work puddin!

My number one question is why in the world was this truck in the salvage yard to begin with? This truck is way too sweet to have been discarded like that. Love your videos!

First of all, congratulations Hank on your graduation! Second, love the truck, man what a survivor it is to be in such great condition after a long stay in the boneyard!

Can you imagine walking round a junkyard and seeing some guy dancing and acting a fool. Too good.

You and your family are good people Puddin! This country needs more scholarships for trade schools! Nice work on that truck!

I brought back a 1991 chevy 1500 short bed std cab 350 5 speed. When I got it running and driving, the horn did the exact same thing. Everyone thought I was happy to be driving it and doing doughnuts while honking. I think it was the truck happy to be driving again.

It's funny how we both live in the same town and I drive by the place with some of the vehicles you have on the channel almost every day! Nice to see you saving these vehicles from the graveyard!

My kid just had her college graduation, then in a couple weeks, she graduates high school. Crazy but true. She is more driven in life than I could ever be. Gets that from her mom, I'm sure.

Always a good evening with Sir Puddin! Congratulations Hank!😊

Don’t listen to negative people big dog. You have the most original hilarious informative channel with a splash of emotion there is.

In high school my history teacher offered his old truck to the class. I was the only person who was interested. It was a 93 red sle Sonoma. It also had the 2.8 with a 5speed. I picked it up for a hundred bucks! Once gone over and fix up. I drove that truck from cape cod to daytona beach on a permit license. I drove her till after I got married and grew the family. Had to up size. That little truck drove us everywhere. Good stuff there puddin. Your interview went well too good job! Thanks Mr. Scott Crocker for those great memories in that truck.

I honestly don't know what I'd do without your videos, Puddin. I've been diagnosed with a nerve disorder that is untreatable and progressive. I've been a car guy my whole life, but have lost the ability to do almost anything physical. There are a lot of days I want to throw in the towel, and then I watch one of your videos and your humor, honesty, and family values remind why I can't. The vehicles are merely a tool that you use to entertain people while reminding all of us what is really important in life. The way you talk about your girls, your humility, and all of the little lessons you share as you go. You are truly a gem and have been a saving grace to me many times. Thank you!!

Wow, Puddin! I'm in the process getting my grandfather's S10 back on the road. It's been sitting since 2008; grandpa had put a new motor in it before he passed. Great content, as usual!

I had a 2 8 in a Beretta and it was a beast... it had over 300,000 miles on it when I sold it.... and it drove....yes DROVE away with a burnout.... anyone saying bad things about them "aint be knowin"

My dad lost his uncle within the last year. His uncle had a truck almost identical to this S10 that he always wanted. He watches your videos all of time and really enjoys them. He mentioned that you name your vehicles and we were wondering if you would name this one Dale or Uncle in honor of his uncle that past away. Thanks for considering it!

That old green dodge in the background looks a good builder.

Puddin. You are truly one amazing person. Not only are your videos full of learning full of humor (I laughed out loud many times during this video) but we get to see that there are really good people out there which is what we all need. I love the collaborations the heart l felt moments etc. your an inspiration my brother. Thank you and the fam so much for your time!!!

congratulations on your daughter's graduation! my two stepchilds graduated high school. and my daughter is in seventh grade now.

Best day of the week!!!! Thank you Puddin 🙏🙏🙏🙌

I love them little s10s they live forever!.. Reminds me when i was young my dad had a couple of them and he hardly ever had to put any work into it. But.. i dont know much about the durango's

I saw your O'Reilly's interview with Derek earlier, it was really great 👍 I hadn't 87 s15 Jimmy I bought new with a 2.8, it ran for 250 something thousand miles. The truck sounds good and looks good, excellent choice 👍 congratulations to Hank on her graduation 🎓 keep bringing the awesome content and videos 👍✌️🇺🇲

Congratulations Hank!!! Also thank you so much for supporting the trades. You both are awesome people.

That Sleeperdude sure is a class act!

It’s great to see you giving support to the kids to go to trade school. The trades will give them opportunities to support their families, dirty hands and clean money did well for me. Looks like it’s doing well for you and your family. God Bless all y’all and keep the great content coming. Love the second channel and the more relaxed and fun stuff you’re doing.

Your evolution from car wash to tire change is awesome! Enjoy your watching your videos each week. 👍

That S-10 has a mystery?! Why was it even there at the junkyard. Previous owner was stumped I guess on the troubleshooting? The first generation S-10's were the best. The 2nd gens were just weird looking. Wow a Pioneer stereo deck too, and the V6!!!! Wooooo Hooooo!!! Great job on the troubleshooting, tests, and start, and run and drive! Fabricate to Educate!!!!!! pow, pow, pow lol.

That's awesome that yall are doing the giveaway! I never miss a sleeper dude or a puddin video you're both great! And congratulations to Hank on graduating!

Heck yeah! Slick looking little S10

This is such a great idea and I’m stoked to watch it come together. Huge congrats on the personal and professional growth of yourself and your channel.

This is the best car rebuild channel on RU-vid. A comedy show.

It’s great to know you give back to the community!! Keep on doing what you do.

Stand up move with the trade school scholarships. I went did the college route for a year before switching to an automotive trade school. It was the best decision of my life. Awesome content! Keep it coming.

Great video as always Puddin, I love the fact that as you grow your platform your still sticking to the basics and doing things how you always have!

love it - Dad had a little S-10 that looked just like this, reminded me of him out working on it in the yard (good feels, despite the misty eyes)

That's going to be a good little truck! Can't wait to watch all the videos! God bless! Congratulations Hank!🎊🎉🎊

I have never not put oil back, but I have absolutely refilled with the drain plug still out.

I'm 7 minutes in, and I'd take it like it sits! Can't wait to see what you do to it

When you open that door ! It was almost like seeing your life-size poster in moorski's corner of his shop !

Someone's going to get a sweet little truck ...the wheels suit the old truck.. looking forward to what your going to do with it... Keep up your cool builds always waiting for the next cool truck..or maybe a car ? Love the way you treat your family and your buddies..Wish their was more people like us in this crazy world...

First time watcher, and I (our shop) is in the middle of a restoration on a 84 S10. Powdercoated frame, Edelbrock intake and cam with Sniper fuel injection,, the list goes on and on. But this was a fun video and look forward to seeing your S10s progress

Absolutely hands down, an A class dude 😎👍🏻 ! Congratulations to your graduate daughter 🥳!!PUDDIN, YOU THE MAN !!!👋🏻😎👍🏻

Nothing like a first get S-10. Between the body lines, the pin stripes and them classic wheels with the white walls. That’s one sweet rig. Got a second gen with more rusty weight reduction than a fish bucket and the bed is splitting but she runs sweet (when it’s not randomly dying) and the 5speed is fun. Still not quite as cool though as the squares. Cool rig. Durango lol

Awesome job on finding that truck. I like that body style over the newer ones. Finding something like that around here would be like winning the lottery.

That "looks good to me" oil filter, was golden!! My old friend mechanic used to do that a lot! Lololol

Awesome little truck, they just don’t make them like that anymore. To have it run and stop right out the gate like that says a lot about the quality of the truck. 👍🏻👍🏻😎

Thank you, Puddin, 👍for your service!!!

Great interview today! Loved it.

That utility truck bed in background would be sick on that load star you have

The old school trick for removing an oil filter is to use an oil filter wrench.

Three observations, that blue is sweet! That sucker is clean. And that bug guard...😎

Watched you and #VGG Two of my car favorite guys. I know you bolt have different styles but for me the takeaway is the personality that you both bring to you channel. Want to thank you for what you do.

Brother I had a 1984 S 10 pickup with a 2.8 V6 5 speed. Bought it as the second owner in 89, my senior year! LOVED THAT TRUCK! Took it on our honeymoon in 1990..Brought my baby boy home in it in 91...sold it like an idiot in 2006.

Dude AWESOME score! Can’t wait to see what you do with this! The 1st generation S10 is my all time favorite truck. I had one when I was a teenager and never got a chance to do anything with it cause I was too busy working. Hope to get one in the future.

ive got a 1990 gmc s15 jimmy 2 door 4wd 4.3 auto, engine needs to be replaced sadly, sludgemonster and no compression left, loved driving it for 6 months before i had to park it for 2 years now.. finally getting motivation to work on it again, its nice to see this truck as a giveaway, you can count me in buddy

🚛👍🔥 You've got yourself a keeper there! It's a fantastic-looking truck straight from the boneyard. The way it sits is just perfect, and those cragars add a cool touch. Can't wait to see if it runs and what plans you have for it. The anticipation is real! Keep up the great work and keep us updated. This giveaway truck might turn into something truly special. 🚀🔧💬

Its really easy to swap it to 4.3. I had the 2.8 in my 88 and swapped it along with the heater box and dash to convert it from work truck to ac truck with dash vents.

I had a 84 with a 2.8 .was my work truck.Dropped down 4" front & back . Up graded A/C , added some jams. It was unstoppable just fireproof it was under my condo when it burned down in 2007. Miss my low rider. I'm retired now have to enjoy your channel.

I made a plate to put an edelbrock 500cfm on a 2.8. It worked great honestly.

Once you pull all the antique emissions equipment off there's actually room under the hood. Those air injection tubes are always in the way. Both of my 84s are 2.8l and other than being slow and loud they are dependable. My two tone Durango was full old man spec while that one is more work spec with the vinyl seat.

when a running motor sits perfectly still like that you now its running real good

Congratulations to Hank!!! My kid just graduated today!! Very happy for you. And thanks for just being you here. I love all of your content

Love how you have all these old pictures of old work you did and share them

I am buying a 1989 extended cab 2wd gmc high sierra s15 with the 4.3 makes me excited to get it on the road

Those service truck boxes would make great cabinets for the shed 👍

Hey Puddin', there was a black Mercedes that I saw you look at when I was watching you all on Mortske's video...I just thought I'd tell you, you should rescue it! It seemed to be in really good shape!

Sometimes it sucks being in Australia, especially with a sweet give away truck like that S10, I would drive the wheels off that, its perfectly my style. Great ep as always Puddin love your content and builds.

I used to own a 1985 S-10. That truck was solid to the core and was easy to work on. I wished I still had it. I put wheels off of a corvette on the back and made it look great.

One of my granddaughters graduated and went into policing, the next one graduates on June 2 from high school, last week she also graduated from IVY Tech and is going to IU, 8 girls and one grandson. Be proud of your kids, I see that in the Puddin family.

I had an ‘85 ext cab 4x4 with the 2.8v6. Our family had since new. 355k abused miles. Motor never opened except valve cover gaskets. Trans rebuilt once. Couldn’t kill it. Rust finally took care of it.

Drove past that Ford bump side, need to bring that one home...

What a great little truck! Lots of fun out at the salvage watching you get that thing running. Love it. Congrats to Hank!

That would be so nice. I used to have an 86 tahoe s10, a 01 4 door blazer, a 01 2 door blazer and now currently have a 98 gmc sonoma. Great little trucks. 😉👍🏼

Love those rigs,got a 93 S10 Blazer 4.3. had it for years!!!! Awesome about helping the trade school too!

Dude!!! You can't go wrong with a S10!!! Love the cragers!!!!! ✌️

Just watched the podcast/video with Derick, OUTSTANDING!!!! Thanks for your service, I know you here that all the time but really thank you. Looking forward to this build and what a outstanding group of people that are helping out.

When I saw the junkyard walk around on Mortskes channel, I knew you would come back for this truck. Great choice 🤙🏻

Good little pickup!!!Congratulations to Hank for making it!

I’m UAW member have worked for Fords for the last 28 years and I really don’t care for foreign vehicles but that little Darwin truck would be a really cool little truck! Good choice tho that little truck actually turned out to be a little GEM

It happens to all of us! I forgot the oil pan bolt one time, I was using my church lawn with permission and as a teenager doing oil change myself on my van, poured 5 qts of oil straight down to the grass before I realized I had forgotten bolt, lol, fun times!!!

Wow that thing is clean. Inside an out. Here in the salt belt, you don't see vehicles like that. Someone loved that truck with the interior as clean as it is.

A friend bought one of those brand new and drove it over 30 yrs and 400k he only got a new truck because he was on his way to work and the frame broke between the cab and bed! Recycler yards around here use a rim laying face down with a rim standing up inside it to support cars.. Congratulations Hank! A couple friends had kids graduate this years and I had 2 grans graduate 8th... I am totally digging those rims on that truck

Spent a little time in Shawnee when I was in the Marines didn't know your junk cars was better than the cars we had driving on the roads back home. Good looking little truck you got there.

I’d love to have an older s10. Learned how to drive a manual with one my dad had.

I had an 87 S-10 long bed with the 2.8 and a 5 speed. I commuted that truck 70 miles a day for several years with only the plastic clutch pedal assembly going bad. Not a ton of power but just enough to cruise. Great little trucks !

interview with Derek and now Sleeper dude helping out, now you just need Bill from curious cars. all the best youtubers out there keep up the great work

Keep one of those old school black rubber bungees with you. In a pinch they do to get that filter off

What a great team of sponsors.

That's what I call a win. Thank you for bringing us along.

Back when I was 18 in high school this was my very first truck was a 84 Chevy S10 over 30 years ago amazing shape for sure brings back a lot of great memories

That’s a Great Little Truck! 👍😉 He will make a gud un for someone to receive. 😀 Keep on Truckin, Puddin’

I knew it. An s10. I remember in the walk through you were pretty happy with this truck. Lookin forward to the build.

No oil compression test! Tell me the old stuff don’t work better!!! Love it, man.
