Thanks for the input Bill, I will look next time I see one to be certain of the nameplate. Looks like I may have to go with an S-10 4x4 4.3L. I will not take the truck off road, so it does not need to be bulletproof. Only reason for the 4x4 is that every pick-up I ever owned needed traction help in the rain. I really want a complete drivetrain/chassis swap for maintainability.

Regards, Dirk


They named it Apache cause it has a patchy welded here and a patchy welded there.
