Went and drove that S-10 and it was good. Shifted smooth, ran well, good brakes, steering was fine. Recently had the headgasket and spider injectors done. Newer tires and battery. No rust aside from surface rust on the undercarriage. Power windows, locks and mirrors all work, as does the A/C (a miracle in itself). Tested the 4WD and it was good as well.

It's a '95 S10 LS with the 4.3 auto. In GM's lovely color called "Raspberry Metallic."

Welcome to the family, Chevy. Hope the Mazdas don't bully you.

No, just dirt. It is in the backwoods on a one lane road on a goat farm.

Only way I would've bought it. I wanted a 4x4 truck for sure.

Because, as I'm sure others will agree, GM was dropping some serious acid in the '80s and '90s. The only logical explanation.
