REVENGE

SOMETIMES, REVENGE CAN BE FUN. That statement is definitely true for Ashley Wimmer of Princeton, West Virginia. For many years, Ashley always had the dependable car. Her husband, Nate Wimmer, on the other hand, would get to buy all of the toys and fun vehicles. After sitting back for several years and watching Nate build some pretty amazing vehicles, Ashley decided it was her time to shine and show Nate that she can build an outstanding truck, too. Boy did she come out swinging with this one!

Ashley originally purchased the ’86 Chevrolet S-10 in 2019.

“The condition of the truck was decent, but it had started showing some age,” Ashley says. “The truck had some wear and tear from being driven over the years and needed a lot of freshening up and some swag!”

Ashley has always had a love for older vehicles, saying they have “more stories and character to discover.” This build would mean a lot to her since this was her first mini-truck project to tackle. It would add her own story to it.

Once Ashley got the truck in their garage, they immediately got to work. First things first for her was the engine. This wasn’t going to be your typical S-10 motor swap. Ashley was going all the way with this build, so she decided to drop a 1970 4-bolt main Chevrolet 350 V-8 motor under the hood. She had a little help when making the decision about which engine she wanted for the truck.

“My dad inspired the small block Chevy motor as he took me to my first ever drag race when I was little,” Ashley says.
