Wrinkle: It might be a S-15 as it apparently is a 4x4. Seller is unclear. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 | A 1985 would be the one you want as it will be set up for a speedo cable. The 4X4 part is not so good.

Made to bolt to a transfer case, not a drive line.

I take it it is still a no-go.

Must be pickup for shifter to be in right place. If it's newer than 89, probably has electronic speedo. If you're installing modern gauges, no problem. If your speedo is mechanical, it's a big problem. There are world class and non-world class trannys. Drive shaft must be shortened for my 3100. Didn't want to mess with original. Finding the right S-10 shaft is still in progress.Google will get you some good info. Try www.waywardgarage.com Hope this helps. | | |
