1. Either an '83 or an '84? I think I spent too much time trying to find out. :p

2. this is awesome! I am a fan of the S-10, and yes they are HUGE in the Mini Truckin' scene.
I am not a fan of its "replacement", the Colorado. What a shame.

3. Not a bad article but you didn't clearly specify the V6 size which was 2.8L. Also the V6 on the 1982 was one time design as well as in 1983 the V6 found itself built differently. Including small specs such as gap ratio on the spark plugs. I am a proud owner of a 1982 S10 for 2 years now. Its great to have the grand daddy of the S10 but then again to know I got the "one year only" original S10 is good and bad. Good cause its original. Bad because finding parts for it is very hard cause I can't bone pick certain parts (Some have to be from another 82). And I was amazed of how simple an adjustment can be such as spark plugs. I kept being told by everyone that it was .45 inches for my engine. Well come to find out that's for the 83 and newer V6s. 1982 V6 requires .40 inch! No more burned out plugs for me haha! Over all though I wouldn't sell or trade that truck for the world.

4. "one year only" original S10 is good and bad.

Correction: "one year only" original S10 " V6 engine" is good and bad.

5. i own a chevy s10 its a 5 speed and im liking the way it rides it. I love my truck so much that im going to put a body kit on it and a new engine. It was my uncles and he was using for his orchard and then it broke so im ripping the engine this summer and getting rid of the rust and also im lowering a couple of inches
