'rare' chevy truck
Question:
In the fall of 1989 I bought a 1990 S-10, 4.3 and pondered whether to get the auto or the 5-spd. At that time it seemed that there were as many 5-spd/4.3’s around as autos in both regular cabs and ext cabs. The real hot rod of the bunch was the short bed regular cab w/5spd and 4.3. They’re out there. Good luck. mjb – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > I’m interested in a rather rare s-10 pickup,. as I know 4.3L / 5 > speeds are hard to find anyway > but did chevy even make at one time, an extended cab s10 (or s15 by > gmc) with the 4.3L v6 (2.8 is a gutless p.o.s IMHO) 4×4 with a manual > transmission? > if they did.. know where I could possibly find one? condition doesn’t > matter.. preferably under 2 grand would be nice since it’s gonna be a > project truck anyhow.
Response:
I’m sure they made one. A friend of mine had one I tried and tried to buy. I got rid of my ‘91 reg cab 4×4 AT when I got married, and after I separated I tried to buy this guy’s truck. I’m guessing it was a ‘92 o3 ‘93 model. Sorry, though, don’t know where you can find one now. Good luck.

Response:
I want one too. Will a 4.3 bolt up the the 5 speed that comes with the 2.5L 4. Mine is getting a little tired. It even puffs a little bit of white smoke when I first start it now. I would love to get an extended cab. I carry too much stuff and its a pain to go round back to get it out of the cap. Eugene

I’m interested in a rather rare s-10 pickup,. as I know 4.3L / 5 speeds are hard to find anyway but did chevy even make at one time, an extended cab s10 (or s15 by gmc) with the 4.3L v6 (2.8 is a gutless p.o.s IMHO) 4×4 with a manual transmission? if they did.. know where I could possibly find one? condition doesn’t matter.. preferably under 2 grand would be nice since it’s gonna be a project truck anyhow.
