My vote goes to the first gen S10 Blazer. I'll take mine with a 350 and a 6-speed.

If I could find a clean 2 door on the cheap I'd jump on it.
Preferably 4wd so I could play with the Torsion Bars after scrapping the front drive components.

I'll second that vote for the 1st get S-10. But, why not stroke the 350 out to 383?

My first car was an 83 S-10 4x4. It had the 2.8 V6 with a 2bbl carb. I was 17 and just knew I had a FAST truck. I mean, it says V6 on the side so it much be quick, right? Needless to say, I knew nothing about cars at the time. It's amazing how much things have changed. Damn I miss that truck.

So in other words... you have nothing of value to contribute to the conversation...

Not going to even feel slightly bad for preferring SUVs and trucks off road & cars on road. Because they are both equally shitty at doing the other ones job.

I think I successfully matched your negativity there.

I wasn't saying you shouldn't feel that way. We're all entitled to our car opinions as different enthusiasts. But I was just wondering why you would leave a post with that kind of attitude. If you don't have an answer to the question asked, keep your mouth shut. And no, "a car" is not a valid answer to "what 80s/90s SUV would make the best sport truck".

I get what you're saying, the kindergarden rule of 'if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all'. But at the same time, people on oppo openly bitch about stance a lot and numerous other things. So obviously IMO a car is a valid answer to "what 80s/90s SUV would make the best sport truck".

And besides one person said the bronco and everyone else just copped out and said the same chassis as what you put up there, so Its not like I'm taking up valuable space lol.
