I gotta echo what our Local SHO Enthusiast had to say.
There has never been a better pickup truck than the 4.3L 4WD S-10. I had a blazer of the same vintage, and it would just scoot. It shares all of its parts (except for the heads and crank, obviously) with the Chevy small block V8, and it's a kick ass motor. Lots of torque, acceptable fuel economy, and everybody and their brother knows how to work on them.
And they're cheap.
Like, two months of your truck allowance would pay for it.
Pick up a valley trader tomorrow, open to "4X4" section, close your eyes and put your finger down. Chances are, you'll hit an S-10 for under 2 grand.
