I grew up a dodge fan and my first car was a '72 challenger. But i had to sell it before i could even start restoring it. Now i have a '95 S-10 and im in love with it. I allready have a new exhaust in it along with an oil change and new air filter, spark plugs and wires. It had new brake lines, roaters, drums, pads, shoes, and a new alternator. I paid $400 for it (got it from my moms friend) and mechanically it is beautiful. The problems are the rust on the body (underneath though is pretty good some rust but not a whole lot)
here are all the pics that i have of it

as you can see the bed isn't to pretty but im not worried about that because im getting one for my birthday (17 as of today). but the bottom part of the cab is pretty rusted out and there is that spot on the driver side fender. So my question is what can i do to fix some of those rust spots

1995 Chevy S-10
173k miles
v6 auto
2WD

EDIT:
i go to a tech school for auto tech in the afternoon so i have access to pretty much all i need (all but 1 of the pictures were taken at the school)

 

junkyard would be a good bet.. for the bed and tailgate...or www.lmctruck.com i think they should have the parts too

 

yea the bed im getting is coming from a junkyard and its in pretty good shape and once i get a job im going to get the tailgate and all i need to do is figure out what to do with the bottom parts of the cab and the drivers side fender because i want to get it repainted and maybe a lift kit and thick off-road like tires and once she quits for good ill just look for another '95 S-10 (hopefully a 4X4 that time around) and use my old one for parts

sound good?

 

my buddy actually went to a junkyard for his 98 s-10 and literally trimmed off parts from a truck there and welded them into place on his truck then with a rattle can repainted his truck (it was white so it wasn't too bad looking although no where near as good as a spray gun). We were in high school and 4 years later its still looking better than before.

 

I don't have pictures but I'm thinking of doing this for my 1982 G30 van. My friend cut out the edges of his rust holes with metal shears and then sanded as much of the rust off as he could on the inside. After priming the bare metal he bought some great stuff ( expanding foam in a can ) and filled the holes with it. He then cut and sanded the foam flush with the body. After applying the epoxy filler (you could use bondo if you like) he had the truck painted & it looks like brand new. That was two years ago and the fix has help up pretty good. He was in the woods one day and a branch flipped up and hit one of the fixed spots. It put a hole in it about the size of a quarter. This is a total redneck way of fixing stuff and will never hold up for the long haul. But it's cheap and it works. Just don't go poking at the repaired spots with a stick after it's painted.
