The daddy paid for truck wasn’t uncalled for, I live in Iowa, and that statement is completely true.

Yes. I have a 87 and 95. Love s10s. Hot rod magazine said in the early 90s the square body s10s would be the 55 chevys of the 21st century not too expensive and u can do anything 2 them

I have a 1990 s10 never had a single problem with it runs great best truck ever made

Love my '90 S10. Currently just doing basic maintenance. She's great.

The best truck there ever was

I bought a brand new S10 back in '91. Total cost of the truck was about $10k. Looked exactly like this one. I remember squawking the tires when I pulled out of the dealership. That 4.3L was no joke. I put over 250k miles on it before I scrapped it. I miss that little red truck.

That s10 is clean! It isn’t even close to beat up! 😂

this is a great video. the attention to camera angles and everything is almost cinematic. I like the detail he puts into it

My dad had a 1984 Chevrolet S-10 man that thing was awesome we all know the S-10 is not made for towing but, we would haul four wheelers and dirtbikes easy. That truck was the best truck my dad ever had in my opinion!

"This truck definitely isn't a chick magnet" definitely sounds like my type of truck.

My first vehicle was a 92 Chevy S10 4.3l extended cab. Love and miss it.

I’m getting one that’s garage kept and has been fully restored for around1,500-2,500$ with only 90k miles!!!!!! I can’t wait!!!!!!!!

I bought a little 1986 s10 with the 2.8 6 bang a little over a year ago and it's my daily driver. I'm creeping up on 225,000 miles and I've yet to have to replace anything major. Just about all I've changed is the usual wear-and-tear stuff (spark plugs, headlights, u joints, starter, etc). I love the poor little thing, even for an ole beater up. It may not be the biggest, baddest, pretties, and most powerful, but she's yet to let me down. I've put her through some h*ll and she's yet to let me down, or at least for long. I've broke and bent a couple things putting her through the ringer, but she's yet to give up

I had a '93 S-10 two-tone blue extended cab, Tahoe. That truck was beautiful, loved everything about it with the reliable pre-Vortec 4.3 liter. Liked the drive, feel, real gauges instead of idiot lights, put a glass pack exhaust on it with Kelly Chargers. Never got to use the AC as I hit a deer only 2 weeks after buying it, but I fixed everything but the AC. Only thing that went bad was the heater coil. Sold it for a steal whenever I was overseas on duty in Germany. Miss it everyday. Got a '98 Blazer now but it's been a headache ever since I owned it. You couldn't beat the old Chevy square bodies from the early, mid 90's full-size and S-10. Reliable, easy to work on. (Totally loved the retractable work light under the hood!) Sadly today GM has quality problems.

Dude! My 1984 GMC S15's name is "Lil Red" too! Right on!!

I have a 93 gmc sonoma same thing as the s10. 5 speed, 4cyl NO AC NO PS bare bones truck I love it. Just me and the truck down the road. And like you said don’t need to worry about it getting dirty or banged up. It’s a pick up! It’s made for action. Gotta love it

My dad had one he said the muffler was rotted out so he kicked it off and it sounded super loud. He really liked it but it had a mold and rust problem

I have an 87 s10. My daily driver. 2wd long bed v6... I love my piece of truck

3:22 i feel called out

Got a 1990 Tahoe s10 4.3 in red

Cool video, thanks for the upload. I myself just bought a 1992 Chevy S10 extended cab as my little work horse for around the house projects. Thusfar this little pickup has been a good investment for the small amount paid.

I have a 1992 s10 w/4.3.

I’m bought one do drive to school and work and then through my dirt bike in the back on the weekend

01 s10 xcab LS, 4cyl, manual ... RELIABLE !! Love it .. only replaced alternator, 17yr old front suspension bushings, batteries, tires - normal wearout stuff... original clutch @ 125k - even a/c still works perfect.. loved my little 93 dime too.

I have a 97 SS and it’s the best vehicle I’ve ever had in my life. My little Send-It-mobile

I'm here cause my mom keeps saying shes gonna get my brother one of these and I just wanna know what it even looks like 🤣

My ‘93 GMC Sonoma was $9200 new in Feb ‘93. Only options: Air, upgraded radio., SLS package. It had: 2.8L V6, 5 spd, manual windows, manual locks, 2wd. Sold it in Dec ‘99, to get a 2000 Silverado 4x4, for $6500. Only cost me $2700, 2 sets of tires, front brakes and a new 1-2 shift fork over almost 7 yrs. Not bad. My latest Silverado set me back $51K. Wow have times changed.

My 1st vehicle was a red, 1990 S10 Durango. Packing a 4.3L V6 Vortec. Foxbodies used to scratch their heads.

Awesome truck!! I need one. I have a 2019 duramax, the gas is ridiculous! I put over 300 in the past ten weeks! I'm gonna get me one of these sweet trucks to run around in

I just put a muffler on my 1982 s10 and tuned the carb up a little, but I really want to get an LS motor and drop it in there. My next thing is definitely tires. My baby NEEDS those things.

Willem from the Netherlands.... I drive a 1978 shortbox stepside for 25 years now.... love it!

I couldn't agree with you more!! Two thumbs up! Well said man.

This is one of the very few things I trurly envy Americans for. Reasonably sized, reliable, handsome in a simple kind of way. Im sure I could find a way to get one here in Europe and spend some more time to jump through all the hoops I have to for some minor upgrades and tuning but it would be so expensive, so unjustified for my lifestyle and so out of place that it might not be worth it.

Yes the s10 is the best truck in the world. My dad has a 02 Sonoma with the 4.3 and he bought it brand new and it’s still running great. My grandpaw has a 93 s10 with the 4.3 and that’s gonna be my first truck. I can’t wait 😂

I got a red 1988 S10 just like that. But mine has been repainted bright red again and I had the 2.5 engine rebuilt. It looks brand new. My dad bought it brand new in 1988 and I was 3 years old. I learned how to drive in that truck. Today I’m 38 and it’s my daily driver. It gets good gas mileage and I love the 5 speed. I get flagged down all the time by people wanting to know if I would sell it. The answer is always NO. Nobody has enough money to buy that little truck from me. I’ve turned down 20k….twice. It’s one of the nicest original rust free S10s anywhere 👍🏻😎 Take care of that truck man. It’s a classic now. Few have survived in good shape. It’s worth preserving.

Reminds me of my ole 90 S15 Jimmy I had in high school. That 4.3 V6 is a pretty strong engine.

Man I use to own one just like that. Only mine had the 2.8 5 speed in it. Absolutely loved that truck. Probably one of the best GM ever made

I had an 87 model, I loved that truck. It had the smaller V6 but it was a good truck!

iv got a one owner 4.3 91 s10 same color the best truck I've ever owned wouldn't have any other truck if it was give to me

I have my grandfather’s 2002 s10 and I love my truck they are the best little trucks ever made

Got one. 88 with the Iron Duke and a 5 speed. Ultra basic. No AC no power brakes and no power steering. Much fun!! Throw the tools into the aluminum toolbox and off to the job site. Over 30 mpg.

Don't apologise for the dad spending money for a pretty lifted truck. I agreed with it and they will recover from having their feelings hurt. Good video

I have 99 s10 /4.3L extended cab. It's great for hunting,hauling junk and taking my dog out.All I have done Is change oil,rotate the wranglers,lube and grease bearings. Yet it starts with one turn of key in 100 above or 50 below every day. So.Dak. is tough on vehicles. But this little thing has not failed me. Your right they are great transportation an fun to drive!! (185000so far).

Great video 👍 I love my 88 S10 too 😊

I want a Chevy s10 to be my first truck

That's a customer review right there 😁.. I have a long bed 1982 Chevy S10 sport. And will keep it till the day I die.. it's awesome

I had two S10. A 1987 Regular Cab Short Bed with a 2.5L 4 Speed, and a 1992 Extended Cab 4.3L Automatic. The '87 had a 3.42 rear axle ratio, which combined with only a 4 speed manual gearbox, was rather unpleasant to drive. The little Iron Duke Engine was screaming at 50 MPH, with enough vibration to loosen your teeth. A 5 speed manual transmission, or an automatic would have made it a different truck. It was an EL Model, which stood for Economy Line. It somehow had factory installed air conditioning, which the EL wasn't supposed to have, The '92 was a fully loaded, 4.3 V6 4 Speed Automatic, a much better truck.

I have two trucks 04 Frontier n a 17 Tacoma which i take great care....I'm 65 n a veteran...you're wise in your years cuz its true ......your truck is the purpose of its life

My family had an 82 or 86 chevy s10. It was a half z spec because it had a z in the vin and had all of the proformance upgrades but none of the comfort lol. Anyway my grandfather was the original owner and won it in a contest. Thing litterly drove itself into the ground i mean that thing was a beast. Only major thing we ever had to do to it was replace the rear axle. Had over 300,000 on it when we sold it for scrap. Dang thing got rusted out because of the salt on the road. To be fair we really did beat the thing up. What i would give to have one like it tho. Some of my earliest memories....

I love my 88 s10

I want a beat up rusty dirty truck that runs great. I don't know why, but that's the look I want. I love it.

I've had an '86 long bed for a few years now. Currently waiting for parts; but she's treated me well! And for only $1300, what a deal!

Got myself a 89' s10 Tahoe w/ 4.3 v6

About to snag a 2002 S10 with absolutely no body damage or rust. 113k on the dash. Very excited.

I have a 89 S10 I got it new and it now 2023 and mine is still running and it's just like your but it's grey and I love my truck

I have a 92 single cab 4x4 in my shop for a conversion. Darn nice ride they are. Turned down good offers to buy it. Love its compactness. Simple reliable daily driver for the young or the old;

The daddy paid for joke was perfectly appropriate

I've had a 03, 95 S10 and now a 00 Sonoma. Hoping one of these days I can get a first gen 🙏🙏🙏

6:15 I was waiting for the IT WILL slide out. I can Confirm lol

I have a 95 regular cab 4.3 vortec and I love it it has only had one problem fuel pump has gone on me 3 times in the past 6 years

Are these good first pickups?

My lowered s10 has major spin out problems in rain not going fast and making slow turns. Is there something wrong or since it’s a old truck it has problems

Love me some s10

i am redoing a 1992 s10 4x4 love these trucks

i got an s10.. an i do not understand big trucks since the backs are so high up and the bed walls are so high up you cannot even reach in them. the S10 you can put stuff in and out the back with no trouble.

I love my rusty 2013 white s10. She's beat up, and never picks up speed but it's great. And the heat kicks on like Super fast .. I just wish it was a stick shift. I miss that

had computer issue with my 87 but was a great truck.all stadard 4speed manual 4 banger ,only option it had was ac blew colder than any car i ever owned.

I have a 1991 S10 My dad got it for $250 in 2010 most reliable vehicle i have ever owned

Do you have any idea if it’s possible to get one for a good price in France ? Thanks

I have 2 s10's one of them I bought for $100 at a junkyard and it has taken me anywhere from going around town to going over mountains These things are better at off roading than you'd think I've made it through 12 foot water bars to the tops of cliffs and even rough rock crawling oh and did I mention It's 2wd, the other one I got for a 12 pack of beer and it has no rust or body damage, s10's are the perfect vehicle for someone who wants a reliable bush truck that's light weight and will go anywhere, or someone who just wants a truck to carry around some things.

He needs straight pipes or if the engine quits put a 350 in it

my s15 sierra classic 4.3 is bulletproof

Ball Ground, GA. I live in Cumming.

I have a ‘96 s10 I love it

Yes

My chevy s10 is for 1985 4x4 luxury.

What's up with Mitsubishi Might Max trucks? I don't see anything wrong with them, it's really similar to the S-10.

By the way I pulled a d.a.b. with my S-10 .. Any who that thing came with a 4.3l???? 2itj a short bed???? Mine has the duke.... I think that is a 2 8l....

Ill buy it

best truck ever i have a 1992 /1990 / 1989

I'm here because I'm about to buy one!! Its a 93! Beautiful condition, runs well, that old chevy blue and runs like new! I'm so happy!

"i prefer roll down windows because they never break" i just got an s10 and first time i rolled down the window it broke on me

Hell yeah, good ol georgia boy

I got a 90 s10 zr2 package I love it but I hate it at the same time it’s rare so I don’t want to do anything with it but it’s my first car and I want to dupe it up some I’m torn in the middle because I can’t find anymore of them

My '89 S-10 (4.3) has been in the family since new. It's never stranded anyone. After 35 years the transmission need a rebuild. Big deal.

I dont know why im watching this, sence i have an s10 already, but s10's are awesome, and i use it for about the same thing

Watching this in my 91 sonoma :)

My 99 S10 great on gas reliable

I have a 1992 s10

I kind of want to get a s10 for my first , and make it into a autocross truck but idk if I should go for it

Just bought a 2003 today

I have a s10 2.8 liter and its cosmetically is ugly but the thing will pull a little trailer or load the bed down it Is a great truck

Building a first gen S-10 right now

Funny stuff... I just bought a S 10 2002 for 900.00. ya hit that right on the head twice! cause it is the world's best truck! great video!

Is 2k for a 89 s10 with 78k miles on it worth the price ?

My ‘92 has a lot of problems Bad valve seals Rust on side Both windows off track Headliner sagging Power locks don’t work Door panels keep coming off Arm rest gets very brittle and breaks A/C doesn’t work Paint is fading and chipping Bad wiring Oil gauge staying at 80 while driving or idling Driver door linkage rod keeps coming off making me having to open the door from the outside

Is it a 4.3l ?

You don’t know how lucky you are right now. $900 my ass. That truck is worth $4000 right now. When I think back about all the trucks I’ve had (67 C10, 82 C10, 95 Nissan hard body, 2002 Nissan Frontier, 2003 Dodge Dakota, 1999 Mazda B4000, 1997 Ford Ranger) I thought they grew on trees. Can’t touch one now. ☹️

Is that a 2.8 or 4.3?

I have a 90 s10 I swapped a v8 350 in it Edit: I bought it for $100
