I had an 88 Chevy S-10 with the little Iron Duke 4. The rear glass was the headrest. It didn't have enough power to use 5th gear and maybe got 20mpgs. People look back on these trucks with rose tinted nostalgia but they werent that great.
Exactly. I remembered seeing people dying and getting some serious injuries from low speed crashes.
I had a 96 S-10...it was one of the greatest vehicles I've ever owned. It was tiny with a huge bed and hauled massive loads fine. I once pulled something like 5000 straw bails with it.
If I could find a truck like that again, I'd be back in the truck market.
That was a newer. Generation than mine.
