I really have no use for a pickup, but it’s been a while since I last saw an S10/S15 looking this nice. I’m kind of tempted, but I really prefer the Blazers/Jimmys.

Terrible picture, but the seats at least look fantastic

I didn’t know the Sanoma had a different name in Cannukistan.

For that gen it was a s15 for some reason. It became the Sonoma for the next gen I believe

Did you also get the Isuzu Hombre?

It’ll be a lot cooler after you buy it and stick a small block under the hood.

If I had a space indoors to work, I’d considering learning how to tackle that

Yeah, what -Wacko- said

That gen s15 seemed to be sold as the s15 in the states also.

You might just be too young to remember them

I guess so.

It was the S-15 here in freedom land as well for most of the first gen. I got into a big stupid argument with a kid about that when I was in middle school ... I lost.

$1500 Maple-bucks!?!?!?! That would be $4k easy in Chicagoland... if you could find one that nice ... which you can’t. Why do you have to be so far away?

I’m surprised it’s so cheap, this is a pretty normal price for them, but they’re usually all faded and clearly beat

shop-teacher > gmctavish needs more space
12/14/2016 at 23:14

Yeah, that’s the case here too. Clean ones go much higher. If that truck was within a half days drive, I’d buy it right damn now.

I’m considering it, but I’m having a hard time justifying buying and insuring something that I have no use for. I mean I could probably find use for it......it’s close enough to me I might just go and see if it’s really as good as it looks

I’ve found a dilemma

http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/ctd/5891071141.html

2.8 + 5 speed or 4.3 + auto?

shop-teacher > gmctavish needs more space
12/14/2016 at 23:30

That’s a tough one. The 2.8 is a bit of a turd. How big/tall are you? Regular cab S-10's are quite small.

shop-teacher > gmctavish needs more space
12/14/2016 at 23:30

I totally understand. I already have a truck, and I’d buy this truck too.

12/14/2016 at 23:31

I’m 5'10", 150lbs or so. I’m not a huge fan of regular cabs but the orange is pretty cool. The 2.8 does sound like a depressing motor

shop-teacher > gmctavish needs more space
12/14/2016 at 23:36

The orange is cool. You’re skinny enough to fold yourself up and pull off the regular cab. I don’t think you’ll want to take any road trips in it though. The 2.8 is the real killer here. All the power of a 4-cylinder, with the gas mileage of a 6-cylinder.

I disagree, owning a truck is like drugs: once you own your first, you can’t go back.

12/14/2016 at 23:52

Yeah, it would especially be disappointing since I’ve spent so much time with a 4.3. I guess the GMCs 4.3 would be low on power compared to that too, but in a lighter truck

I know my Blazer was an SUV, but it still had that effect. I miss it because of it’s truckishness, not in spite of it

I saw a pre 1990 S10 Blazer 2 door at Menards about a week ago that blew my mind. It was “Victory Red” and immaculate, not one flaw. I think it’s owner was getting a little freaked at my gawking over it.

Must have come from the same time warp as this pickup.

I had both an ‘89 and a ‘98 S-10 back in the day. They were both extended cab, 2wd, 4.3, autos. My butt-dyno couldn’t tell the difference in power.
