Well I decided to join up here cause I'm maybe looking up on the crew cab s-series trucks.
First, alittle background info on me. I'm a very frequent person on S10forum.com and been into all sorts of trucks since like 14. Mostly it has been mini trucks but I still have a love for 4 wheel drives and that is why I was looking at the crew cabs.
So far I go to school and work at a dealership changing oil. I got my 2001 GMC Noma with the ZQ8 package, 2/3 drop, brushed aluminum grill, flowmaster 40series dual exhaust, bed cover, roll in bedliner, infinity 10'' sub, JL Audio 250/1 amp, jumpseat sub box, white face gauges, drop in K&N filter, different headlight and tail light bulbs, color matched mirrors and all handles, SS mirrors, and probly something else I'm forgeting. It's just my daily driver.
My other project truck is a 1995 Chevy S-10. It's bagged in the front right now and that is about it. I got big plans for it but right now I'm just not interested in building it up right now as I'm still trying to plan everything out, save parts, and save alot of money to knock a big chunk out of it when I dive into it.
I like my Sonoma but latly I've had the urge to get something I can play with and take off road and cause some trouble with. But I'm not sure yet so I'll be bouning about this forum learning on the suspension setups and what works best and stuff.
I'm sure nobody is into air suspensions here but if there is shoot me a pm and I'll give you tons and tons of info on air suspension for the s-series trucks. Ok end novel.

Thanks for all the kind words.
Today I actually spotted a yellow crew cab at the dealership I work at. From a distance it looked like it had a mild lift with some A/T and some chrome rims. Looked really nice.

Welcome to the site NCHEVYHEVN,
even as a 4x4 owner, I've bagged a pair of s-10's for friends - and looking at your 95, It reminds me of the last one I did:
The owner is a good freind of mine, and eventually ended up taking all of the 95 front end off the truck and updating with a cowl hood, 2000 model grille, headlights, bumper and the other stuff needed to update the front end. Looked good, then changed jobs, moved away and lost a place to work on his project so he sold it off.
So - good luck witht he Crewcab search. I'm trying to talk the wife into buying a couple of year old Yukon or Expedition so I can throw some 22" bling on it, and something like a 4/6 static drop setup under it - but she wants a car - sigh.
