return to a time when pickups were simpler and smaller? This S-10
is a former hospital fleet truck that was purchased by the same
employe who used it and drove it for the hospital so this truck is
truly a one owner truck in a very unique way! The owner was very
meticulous with servicing the S-10 and it carries multiple custom
service intervals printed on labels in the cab and under the hood.
The overall condition of the truck is extremely clean and tidy and
it must be extremely difficult to find another 1980?s S-10 in this
condition! This truck was made in February 1987. Finished in white
with a tan pinstripe, the truck?s paint and trim are in overall
very good order. The bodywork is straight and solid, the engine bay
is extremely tidy. The cargo bed is clean and looks good wearing
its bedliner and cargo light. There?re a black front and black rear
corrugated bumpers complemented by a pair of black below-eyeline
sideview mirrors. This S-10 rolls on Michelin NS Rain Force MX4
radials, mounted on steel wheels with white trim rings and factory
chrome caps. The tires and wheel covers are all in very good
condition. The battery was replaced on May 17, 2019. A new
air-conditioning compressor was put on July 1, 2005 at 124,563
miles followed by a new evaporator on June 6, 2006 at 125,324
miles. A new radiator was installed in December 2019. A new power
brake booster installed on April 13, 2013. A new 2.8L V-6 (code
LL2) engine with throttle-body fuel injection was installed on June
6, 1997 at 113,962 miles, meaning the current engine reportedly has
just over 34,500 miles on it now. A 700R4 four-speed automatic
transmission back the motor, along with a 3.42:1 rear differential.
Driver convenience equipment includes air-conditioning, power
steering and power disc/drum brakes. General service labels on the
driver?s doorjamb run from March 29, 1998 @ 114,997 miles to
November 11, 2011 @ 127,051 miles. This truck really has been
mechanically cared for in the past. Inside, the truck?s original
Light Saddle vinyl upholstery covers the bench seat and is in
great, original order, as is the black rubberized floor matting,
which could be hosed out when needed. The tan cloth headliner is in
very good order before it gives way at the rear white painted
metal. A two-spoke steering wheel faces the driver. The dashboard,
with its split headlight controls (one for the parking lights; the
other for all lights), ribbon-style speedometer and fuel gauge and
a cabin-wide cargo shelf mounted at the driver?s knee. Additional
storage is available in the glovebox and behind the bench seat. The
column-mounted shift lever looks good and a factory AM radio
completes the interior. The 1987 model year did not involve any
obviously visible changes to the S-10, but there was one small
tweak under the hood. Chevrolet added a serpentine drive belt to
replace the standard V-belts for both the 2.5-liter and 2.8-liter
engines. The first compact truck from the big three automakers was
the rebadged Isuzu KB sold since 1972 as the Chevrolet LUV, and
Ford quickly responded with the Mazda-built Ford Courier the same
year. However, the 1973 Arab oil embargo forced GM to consider
designing a domestically produced compact pickup truck. As usual,
parts from other GM chassis lines (primarily from the GM G-body
intermediates) were incorporated. Track width was similar to the
former GM H-body subcompacts (Vega/Monza). The first S-series
pickups were introduced in 1981 for the 1982 model year. The base
engine (manufactured in Japan and imported) was a 1.9L Isuzu
four-cylinder (RPO LR1) shared with the LUV and Isuzu P'UP, with a
2.8L V-6 as an option. The Chevrolet and GMC models were identical
apart from the grille, tailgate and assorted insignia. An extended
cab and ?Insta-Trac? four-wheel drive were added the next year
along with two new engines - a 2.0L four-cylinder engine (RPO LQ2)
from the J-platform automobiles along with an Isuzu 2.2L (RPO LQ7)
four-cylinder diesel engine. Competition to this S-10 in 1987
included Dodge?s Ram 50, Ford?s Ranger, GMC?s S-15, Isuzu?s P?Up,
Mazda?s B-series, Mitsubishi?s Mighty Max, Nissan?s Hardbody and
Toyota?s Hilux. VIN: 1GCCS14R3H8168511 This truck is currently
located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on
the odometer shows 148,483 miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a
clean and clear, mileage exempt Missouri title. GET OUT AND
