We also had a 1988 S-10.  It now belongs to our daughter.  That was the
very best vehicle buy I've ever made.  It has been through a lot, hauled
many heavy loads, over 200,000 miles before we replaced the engine.  The
damned thing is still going strong.  The newer S-10 may be crap, but in the
late 1980s Chevy made a very good little truck.

  I have mixed feelings about the S10. I loved my first S10, a bare bones
std cab 1988 model. It got me all over the east coast while in the Army. I
sold it when I moved back to Iowa and a couple years later I bought a 94
S10
LS extracab craporamma. I hated that truck. Every piece of it rattled, it
was useless in the snow, I actually got stuck in my own driveway and had to
have the neighbors help me push it into the street. Junk junk junk I
finally
sold it for a chunk less than I owed just to be rid of the damn thing.

in my own opinion-having driven one for a few years-never use a s-10
chassis
for a donor-cheap isnt always better-i may just be CHEAP. i hate those
trucks-they are the ford fiesta of trucks.... and in the 80's-forget it!
anyway...
