My S-10 weighed in at 2700lbs without the bed on it. Without me in it and about a 1/4 tank.
I loved my S-10. But going from a fullsize to a small truck you probably won't be happy. Although I did have more leg room in my truck, mostly cause it was ext. cab, then any fullsize i've been in. If I was you, i'd keep the truck. You already have a V8, and you probably won't be happy with the power out of the V6s. Trust me, I love first gen S-10s and still wish I had mine. BUT I love the feel of a fullsize and of course the V8 power. ![]()

![]() I'm sure you are just getting bored with your truck. I felt that way about 2 thousand times with the S-10, but got over it. You only have 1 more year and your truck isn't under the sniffer. Man don't make a mistake!!! S-10s are great little trucks. I'd like to have another. Like I said, you probably won't like the change. If you do, it'll probably wear off fast. Go get something for your truck now, it'll make ya wanna keep it. ![]()

I just parked my nice 97 s-10 so that I could drive a beater c-10. Although the c-10 is beat it still looks way better than that guttless wonder s-10. Don't do it! You will hate it!

I've got a '84 K20 & an '87 S10 (2.5L 4cyl 4spd manual)... I like driving them both for different reasons... however, I think the ol K20 will be along long after I end up selling the S10. It's bigger, meaner - and while it guzzles the gas - tailgaters don't bother me so much in it.

What happened to Tim? Did he sell his truck? I have not seen him around in a long time.

Wow, bringing a old post back from the dead.
Slonaker, Tim got expelled from shop talk, and appears to have left town.

Timspeed, I had a '99 s-10 blazer, 2-door. I really liked it, but it rode like crap and wasn't that fast even with the 4.3. The best mpg I could get was 16 driving like grandma, that's not that great. I sold it and got an old camry
