The Best Truck is a Dirty Truck | Chevy S10 Review

- The Chevy S10. It's not made for mudding, it's not made for towing. It's simply a good little truck.
Everyone has a different opinion on what makes a "Good Truck." Is a good truck powerful? Is it a 4X4 offroad master? Is it cheap? In the case of this little 1990 Chevrolet S10, being a perfect truck just comes down to doing what you need it to do. Hauling around the things you need, and staying reliable. In this episode of The Left Pedal, Sodapop explains why this old, dirty S10 is the best truck in the world.

The daddy paid for truck wasn’t uncalled for, I live in Iowa, and that statement is completely true.
Yes. I have a 87 and 95. Love s10s. Hot rod magazine said in the early 90s the square body s10s would be the 55 chevys of the 21st century not too expensive and u can do anything 2 them
GM products are junk dude........S'10's are basically Yugos with a cargo bed
@@toddbob55 you are full of crap!
Is insurances expensive because of how old the 87 is?
If you get them recertified or inspected the rates should close to modern trucks
Got one. 88 with the Iron Duke and a 5 speed. Ultra basic. No AC no power brakes and no power steering. Much fun!! Throw the tools into the aluminum toolbox and off to the job site. Over 30 mpg.
I have a 1990 s10 never had a single problem with it runs great best truck ever made
i have a 99 s10 that breaks down every 5 seconds
natalie I don’t have a car
I've got an 01 s10 blazer with no issue.
Own a 91 xcab 4.3 s10 tahoe. Can confirm. Best truck ever made.
"This truck definitely isn't a chick magnet" definitely sounds like my type of truck.
Honestly, I met a dude once when he gave a lift to his friend and me in this truck. I thought he was kinda cute and absolutely adored his truck. He then followed me on insta and I saw his face without the truck orgasm and ouf wasn't that cute anymore. So yes, this truck is a fuuuuckin chick magnet.
I’m getting one that’s garage kept and has been fully restored for around1,500-2,500$ with only 90k miles!!!!!! I can’t wait!!!!!!!!
Love my '90 S10. Currently just doing basic maintenance. She's great.
Same ,had my 1990 s10 since 2001
The best truck there ever was
TRUTH czcams.com/video/PpMHJOFs30c/video.html
I had a couple of the 80' s-10s and well all of those trucks have heart. I want another one.
That s10 is clean! It isn’t even close to beat up! 😂
I bought a brand new S10 back in '91. Total cost of the truck was about $10k. Looked exactly like this one. I remember squawking the tires when I pulled out of the dealership. That 4.3L was no joke. I put over 250k miles on it before I scrapped it. I miss that little red truck.
I bought a little 1986 s10 with the 2.8 6 bang a little over a year ago and it's my daily driver. I'm creeping up on 225,000 miles and I've yet to have to replace anything major. Just about all I've changed is the usual wear-and-tear stuff (spark plugs, headlights, u joints, starter, etc). I love the poor little thing, even for an ole beater up. It may not be the biggest, baddest, pretties, and most powerful, but she's yet to let me down. I've put her through some h*ll and she's yet to let me down, or at least for long. I've broke and bent a couple things putting her through the ringer, but she's yet to give up
My dad had a 1984 Chevrolet S-10 man that thing was awesome we all know the S-10 is not made for towing but, we would haul four wheelers and dirtbikes easy. That truck was the best truck my dad ever had in my opinion!
I had a '93 S-10 two-tone blue extended cab, Tahoe. That truck was beautiful, loved everything about it with the reliable pre-Vortec 4.3 liter. Liked the drive, feel, real gauges instead of idiot lights, put a glass pack exhaust on it with Kelly Chargers. Never got to use the AC as I hit a deer only 2 weeks after buying it, but I fixed everything but the AC. Only thing that went bad was the heater coil. Sold it for a steal whenever I was overseas on duty in Germany. Miss it everyday. Got a '98 Blazer now but it's been a headache ever since I owned it. You couldn't beat the old Chevy square bodies from the early, mid 90's full-size and S-10. Reliable, easy to work on. (Totally loved the retractable work light under the hood!) Sadly today GM has quality problems.
this is a great video. the attention to camera angles and everything is almost cinematic. I like the detail he puts into it
My first vehicle was a 92 Chevy S10 4.3l extended cab. Love and miss it.
Cool video, thanks for the upload.
I myself just bought a 1992 Chevy S10 extended cab as my little work horse for around the house projects.
Thusfar this little pickup has been a good investment for the small amount paid.
Same

Lol,just bought a 1993 single cab S10 earlier this year
@@dippa1965 lol just bought a 1997 S10 extended cab.. picking it up on Monday
@@cooprr.r -
Best of luck with your build,these things are sky rocketing in price.
I sold my 92 awhile back.
But acquired a 93 single cab thinking I'm gonna hold on to this one.
@@dippa1965 thanks, you too.. I hope that I keep this truck too
I have a 93 gmc sonoma same thing as the s10. 5 speed, 4cyl NO AC NO PS bare bones truck I love it. Just me and the truck down the road. And like you said don’t need to worry about it getting dirty or banged up. It’s a pick up! It’s made for action. Gotta love it
01 s10 xcab LS, 4cyl, manual ... RELIABLE !! Love it .. only replaced alternator, 17yr old front suspension bushings, batteries, tires - normal wearout stuff... original clutch @ 125k - even a/c still works perfect.. loved my little 93 dime too.
Dude! My 1984 GMC S15's name is "Lil Red" too! Right on!!
I have an 87 s10. My daily driver. 2wd long bed v6... I love my piece of truck
I'm here cause my mom keeps saying shes gonna get my brother one of these and I just wanna know what it even looks like 🤣
My dad had one he said the muffler was rotted out so he kicked it off and it sounded super loud. He really liked it but it had a mold and rust problem
Yes the s10 is the best truck in the world. My dad has a 02 Sonoma with the 4.3 and he bought it brand new and it’s still running great. My grandpaw has a 93 s10 with the 4.3 and that’s gonna be my first truck. I can’t wait 😂
Did you get the s10?
@@manasseh7 yeah I got it about a year and a half ago. I blew the trans in it and got an 02 s10 with the 4.3
I got a red 1988 S10 just like that. But mine has been repainted bright red again and I had the 2.5 engine rebuilt. It looks brand new. My dad bought it brand new in 1988 and I was 3 years old. I learned how to drive in that truck. Today I’m 38 and it’s my daily driver. It gets good gas mileage and I love the 5 speed. I get flagged down all the time by people wanting to know if I would sell it. The answer is always NO. Nobody has enough money to buy that little truck from me. I’ve turned down 20k….twice. It’s one of the nicest original rust free S10s anywhere 👍🏻😎
Take care of that truck man. It’s a classic now. Few have survived in good shape. It’s worth preserving.
My ‘93 GMC Sonoma was $9200 new in Feb ‘93. Only options: Air, upgraded radio., SLS package.
It had: 2.8L V6, 5 spd, manual windows, manual locks, 2wd.
Sold it in Dec ‘99, to get a 2000 Silverado 4x4, for $6500. Only cost me $2700, 2 sets of tires, front brakes and a new 1-2 shift fork over almost 7 yrs. Not bad.
My latest Silverado set me back $51K. Wow have times changed.
I’m bought one do drive to school and work and then through my dirt bike in the back on the weekend
I have a 1992 s10 w/4.3.
Me too. Love my little rocket. 301,000+ miles. And the windows do break, replaced the guts on both of my windows.
3:22 i feel called out
I really did too :(
Got a 1990 Tahoe s10 4.3 in red
I have a 97 SS and it’s the best vehicle I’ve ever had in my life. My little Send-It-mobile
I have 99 s10 /4.3L extended cab. It's great for hunting,hauling junk and taking my dog out.All I have done Is change oil,rotate the wranglers,lube and grease bearings. Yet it starts with one turn of key in 100 above or 50 below every day. So.Dak. is tough on vehicles. But this little thing has not failed me. Your right they are great transportation an fun to drive!! (185000so far).
Awesome truck!! I need one. I have a 2019 duramax, the gas is ridiculous! I put over 300 in the past ten weeks! I'm gonna get me one of these sweet trucks to run around in
Failed to mention the 4.3 liter came out in 1988 and was a huge deal at that time. It is a 350 cid V8 missing two cylinders. Same bore and stroke.
Are these good first pickups?
I have two trucks 04 Frontier n a 17 Tacoma which i take great care....I'm 65 n a veteran...you're wise in your years cuz its true ......your truck is the purpose of its life
Man I use to own one just like that. Only mine had the 2.8 5 speed in it. Absolutely loved that truck. Probably one of the best GM ever made
The 4.3 shook like a wino first thing in the morning. They put a balance shaft in it in 1993.
The 4x4 system was pure garbage. Worked on vacuum and prone to failure.
Sold my 1991 and bought a 1996 Tacoma. It never let me down
My '89 S-10 (4.3) has been in the family since new. It's never stranded anyone. After 35 years the transmission need a rebuild. Big deal.
This is one of the very few things I trurly envy Americans for. Reasonably sized, reliable, handsome in a simple kind of way. Im sure I could find a way to get one here in Europe and spend some more time to jump through all the hoops I have to for some minor upgrades and tuning but it would be so expensive, so unjustified for my lifestyle and so out of place that it might not be worth it.
My 1st vehicle was a red, 1990 S10 Durango. Packing a 4.3L V6 Vortec.
Foxbodies used to scratch their heads.
My family had an 82 or 86 chevy s10. It was a half z spec because it had a z in the vin and had all of the proformance upgrades but none of the comfort lol. Anyway my grandfather was the original owner and won it in a contest. Thing litterly drove itself into the ground i mean that thing was a beast. Only major thing we ever had to do to it was replace the rear axle. Had over 300,000 on it when we sold it for scrap. Dang thing got rusted out because of the salt on the road. To be fair we really did beat the thing up. What i would give to have one like it tho. Some of my earliest memories....
I couldn't agree with you more!! Two thumbs up! Well said man.
I had an 87 model, I loved that truck. It had the smaller V6 but it was a good truck!
I just put a muffler on my 1982 s10 and tuned the carb up a little, but I really want to get an LS motor and drop it in there. My next thing is definitely tires. My baby NEEDS those things.
iv got a one owner 4.3 91 s10 same color the best truck I've ever owned wouldn't have any other truck if it was give to me
Don't apologise for the dad spending money for a pretty lifted truck. I agreed with it and they will recover from having their feelings hurt. Good video
Reminds me of my ole 90 S15 Jimmy I had in high school. That 4.3 V6 is a pretty strong engine.
I want a Chevy s10 to be my first truck
I've had an '86 long bed for a few years now. Currently waiting for parts; but she's treated me well! And for only $1300, what a deal!
That's a customer review right there 😁.. I have a long bed 1982 Chevy S10 sport. And will keep it till the day I die.. it's awesome
I have a 95 regular cab 4.3 vortec and I love it it has only had one problem fuel pump has gone on me 3 times in the past 6 years
Recomend dropping the tank and cleaning it out . or could be cheap aftermarket pumpms
I have a '99 with only 70k miles on it and I have already had to put 2 fuel pumps on it, fuel injectors on the S10's aren't the greatest either in my opinion.
I have 2 s10's one of them I bought for $100 at a junkyard and it has taken me anywhere from going around town to going over mountains These things are better at off roading than you'd think
I've made it through 12 foot water bars to the tops of cliffs and even rough rock crawling oh and did I mention It's 2wd, the other one I got for a 12 pack of beer and it has no rust or body damage,
s10's are the perfect vehicle for someone who wants a reliable bush truck that's light weight and will go anywhere, or someone who just wants a truck to carry around some things.
Got myself a 89' s10 Tahoe w/ 4.3 v6
Whats a s10 "Tahoe" exactly?
You mean a s10 blazer?
@@KaiserVonKrieg chevy S-10 Tahoe it was a the top of the line of the S-10 pickups back in the 90s in other words chevy S-10 Tahoe pickups were the luxury version
Oh man I love the Tahoe series! You're lucky!
@@KaiserVonKrieg it came with chrome mirrors and chrome bezel headlights, tailights, red dash, red carpet, red seats, red and carpeted door trim, and red headliner, Tahoe badging on the fenders and dash, two rear speakers and added trims covering up metal parts
I have my grandfather’s 2002 s10 and I love my truck they are the best little trucks ever made
I have a 89 S10 I got it new and it now 2023 and mine is still running and it's just like your but it's grey and I love my truck
I love my rusty 2013 white s10. She's beat up, and never picks up speed but it's great. And the heat kicks on like Super fast .. I just wish it was a stick shift. I miss that
Typo ? .. they quit making the s10 after 2004..
@@wessunde2801 2003** good eye
If you get and old s10 replace the rear leaf springs and shackle mounts. Its not to hard just need the right tools of destruction.
i got an s10.. an i do not understand big trucks since the backs are so high up and the bed walls are so high up you cannot even reach in them. the S10 you can put stuff in and out the back with no trouble.
Agreed- can't even see over the bed rails of some of those trucks... on the other hand, I can reach things halfway across the bed of my s10 :-)
About to snag a 2002 S10 with absolutely no body damage or rust. 113k on the dash. Very excited.
I want a beat up rusty dirty truck that runs great. I don't know why, but that's the look I want. I love it.
had computer issue with my 87 but was a great truck.all stadard 4speed manual 4 banger ,only option it had was ac blew colder than any car i ever owned.
The daddy paid for joke was perfectly appropriate
I have a 1991 S10 My dad got it for $250 in 2010 most reliable vehicle i have ever owned
I have a 92 single cab 4x4 in my shop for a conversion. Darn nice ride they are. Turned down good offers to buy it. Love its compactness. Simple reliable daily driver for the young or the old;
Is 2k for a 89 s10 with 78k miles on it worth the price ?
If it's clean-ish rust wise then absolutely
100% if it is not a rust bucket.
Yes! If it's not beat to hell
Yup!!! If it's not roached
I love my 88 s10
my s15 sierra classic 4.3 is bulletproof
He needs straight pipes or if the engine quits put a 350 in it
Willem from the Netherlands.... I drive a 1978 shortbox stepside for 25 years now.... love it!
Ill buy it
best truck ever i have a 1992 /1990 / 1989
Love me some s10
6:15 I was waiting for the IT WILL slide out. I can Confirm lol
I've had a 03, 95 S10 and now a 00 Sonoma. Hoping one of these days I can get a first gen 🙏🙏🙏
I'm here because I'm about to buy one!! Its a 93! Beautiful condition, runs well, that old chevy blue and runs like new! I'm so happy!
Did you end up getting one?
@@NotaMechanicJack yes! I got an 87 about three months ago and it's my favorite thing in the whole world! I absolutely love it I drive to work and around town every day in it. I had to learn how to drive it with it being my first manual transmission but now that I got the hang of it it's so much fun to drive ❤️❤️❤️ and I drive the hell out of it 🤣❤️
@@NotaMechanicJack I'm going to drive this truck until the wheels fall off 😘
@@NotaMechanicJack the guy with the 93 that I wanted ended up giving me the run around so I kept looking and eventually found my boy ❤️
@@show_me_your_kitties awesome just found an 89 we might get hopefully you can subscribe and check out some our finds and builds
You got any plans to do with the truck? Add things or switch something?
"i prefer roll down windows because they never break"
i just got an s10 and first time i rolled down the window it broke on me
By the way I pulled a d.a.b. with my S-10 ..
Any who that thing came with a 4.3l???? 2itj a short bed???? Mine has the duke.... I think that is a 2
8l....
You don’t know how lucky you are right now. $900 my ass. That truck is worth $4000 right now. When I think back about all the trucks I’ve had (67 C10, 82 C10, 95 Nissan hard body, 2002 Nissan Frontier, 2003 Dodge Dakota, 1999 Mazda B4000, 1997 Ford Ranger) I thought they grew on trees. Can’t touch one now. ☹️
Great video 👍 I love my 88 S10 too 😊
i am redoing a 1992 s10 4x4 love these trucks
Nice I'm redoing a 93 s10 tahoe 4x4
My chevy s10 is for 1985 4x4 luxury.
2:59 the Vortec engine did not debut until 1995.5
Funny stuff... I just bought a S 10 2002 for 900.00. ya hit that right on the head twice! cause it is the world's best truck! great video!
I kind of want to get a s10 for my first , and make it into a autocross truck but idk if I should go for it
Absolutely they make badass track trucks pick one up if you have the chance I'm grabbing a second gen ss10 (not a typo it's the extreme without the bodykit and a 4.3)
I dont know why im watching this, sence i have an s10 already, but s10's are awesome, and i use it for about the same thing
Hell yeah, good ol georgia boy
My lowered s10 has major spin out problems in rain not going fast and making slow turns. Is there something wrong or since it’s a old truck it has problems
I have a s10 2.8 liter and its cosmetically is ugly but the thing will pull a little trailer or load the bed down it Is a great truck
I got a 90 s10 zr2 package I love it but I hate it at the same time it’s rare so I don’t want to do anything with it but it’s my first car and I want to dupe it up some I’m torn in the middle because I can’t find anymore of them
If you plan on keeping it, mod it how you want. I've done a few things to mine, but again I plan on never letting it go so 🤷♂️
You just have to get creative
Yes
I have a 1992 s10
Just bought a 2003 today
What's up with Mitsubishi Might Max trucks? I don't see anything wrong with them, it's really similar to the S-10.
Do you have any idea if it’s possible to get one for a good price in France ? Thanks
My 99 S10 great on gas reliable
I have a ‘96 s10 I love it
Building a first gen S-10 right now
Watching this in my 91 sonoma :)
I have a 90 s10 I swapped a v8 350 in it
