Chevy S-10 Pickup For Sale
I own a 2002 Chevy S-10 pick up. I chose this model because it's a four wheel drive . And I love driving this truck when it's snowing. I use it to haul yard work during the summer and during the winters, I plow snow. I have not done any modifications nor do I plan to. This truck serves it's purpose as is.

Chevrolet T10 pickup user review
I have a 1996 Chevrolet T10 pickup. The truck is badged S10, but anyone who knows anything about GM knows that T10 is correct. The truck is a 4x4, and has the extended cab with the third door. The truck has the 4.3 litre V6 engine and a 5-speed manual transmission.
I chose the truck because it had a powerful engine yet a manual transmission and because it is a 4x4. I bought it used, and was seriously impressed that GM would make a truck with both a manual transmission and cruise control. The two seem mutually exclusive, but I was wrong.
I fell in love with this truck because of how well it does off-road without compromising fuel economy. The truck consistently achieves 20 miles per gallon or better while driving both in the city and on the highway.
I use my T10 for daily driving, for towing a car trailer, and for some light off-road driving for fun. I also haul firewood in the autumn, and have pulled out several other vehicles that have run off the road. I bought the truck with about 100,000 miles already on it, and noticed that the truck had held up quite well overall. Even now that the truck is 13 years old, I find that there is very little rust despite all the road salt that it collects in the winter time.
When I was replacing the universal joints on the two-piece aluminum drive shaft this spring, I damaged the drive shaft so badly that it had to be replaced. The stainless steel of the universal joints corroded badly over the years against the aluminum of the drive shaft. I had a custom steel drive shaft made at a local driveline shop, and am quite pleased with the results. I also had a bug shield installed on the lip of the hood, and have installed an aftermarket stereo that plays compact discs. I also replaced the plastic third door handle with a custom made aluminum handle after breaking three of the plastic handles in the cold.
Over all, the 1996 Chevrolet T10 4x4 is an awesome truck, and one that I will certainly buy again should I ever crash this one up.
