Have you developed a list/ plan for making it 'nicer'?

Applying a decal on the rear quarter panel doesn't make it a ZR2 - simply a tacky imposter. The decal may have been added as 'bling' or, more deviously, to falsely pass the truck off as a ZR2 to inflate the sales price to unsuspecting buyers. The RPO code on the glove box sticker will confirm if it was or wasn't. The Regular Production Option ZR2 is a special off-road/suspension package.

You can Google 'S10 ZR2 package for a detailed list of the items in the package, and there's a section here in the forum for ZR2's (ZR2 - BlaZeR2 - Highrider).

That's a pic of a ZR5. It has the roof rack, bed rails, little flares, and ZR5 wheels. The sticker also has a "5" on it. As I mentioned above it's not an off road package with heavier rear differential and lifted suspension. Instead is a trip thru some auto parts store's accessories department. It talks the talk, but cant walk the walk.

It must have been one heck of a fan - did it's suction aid the engine to pull the truck along on the road to get that +/- 5 MPG gain, or was that 5 Miles/ tank? I would posit that if it was a verifiable 5 MPG figure that more S10 owners and/ or GM would have readily adopted the electric fans. That's a really substantial boost over the EPA (& typical real world) mileage numbers, for any stock drivetrain setup.

If you're referring to the electric fan, I'm not aware that GM ever produced an S series truck with one as stock, so it wouldn't be NOS.
