Good 'ol truck, but still helps

1990 Chevrolet S-10 Tahoe 2dr Regular Cab 4WD SB (4.3L 6cyl naturally aspired 5M)
Good truck. It's been dependable as can be for it being almost 17 years old. But, compared to other vehicles of different brands, the metal used for the body was very poor, the bed panel rusted out and now theres a gaping hole, the bottom of the doors have rusted, as has the left door jams. I love the truck, but I still think chevy could have done better even with the new S10's, I mean, … come on, it has only .3 liters less than Fords 4.6 V8, and yet only around 200 horses? I love my truck, enough said..

1990 Chevrolet S-10 Tahoe 2dr Regular Cab LB (2.5L 4cyl naturally aspired 5M)
252,000 and counting. It's never left
me stranded. The bed holds a 4wheeler
with room to spare. Couldn't even get
the gate closed on my old tacoma.
MPG's are down to 21 and power is down
also compared to when I got it at
200k. But as long as it runs I will
drive it.

Great truck for anyone

1990 Chevrolet S-10 Tahoe 2dr Regular Cab 4WD SB (4.3L 6cyl naturally aspired 5M)
I've dusted almost every Chevy, Dodge, and Ford full size pickup you can imagine in this truck, and I've taken this thing through places most trucks would shiver to even think about going through, and it held up. The truck was stolen and beat to death but it still ran for about a month after we got it back. Great truck for anyone that wants a great running truck with good power, good … hauling, great offroading, and dependability offerings. If it werent for it being a Chevy i probably would tell anyone looking for a nice truck to get one of these. The seats for a short cab are a little awkward though for someone averaging a height taller then 5'8 or so
