OK so i have saved up awhile and here are the 2 i have found...

98 - 4 banger manual transmission... 70,000 miles Pewter, body was decent no rust $3,995

95- 4 banger aslo manual 170,000 miles. Bright bluish color. SOme engine bay rust. INterior was rough but i plan on replacing/customizing.

The truck is going to be taken apart (baged shaved etc.) so which would you guys get?

ps- the 95 had head gasket poblems... is this common with s10's?

The 98 sounds like a good deal. How much do they want for the 95? Thats pretty high mileage, depending on how it was treated you might be looking at a new engine in the near future. If it was me i'd go with the 98.

oh sorry the 95 was 2,000.. but KBB says 1500ish so i bet he wold come down. Yea the milage is high but that could lead to a nice engine swap in the future? im just looking for opinions.. thanks dknutt

any other opinions guys?

98, the front end looks better, on top of the less miles and newer everything

The 98 sounds like a good deal, also the interior is a little nicer than in the 95. If you plan on customizing the 95 would not be a bad choice either. Woulnd't get the 95 unless you plan on redoing the engine. And yes the 2.2 is notorious for head gasket failures. Glad to see they have finally decided to scrap it in favor of the new 2.8L

ok thanks guys... i was leaning toward the 98... but the 95 was a prime canidate for customizing. i didnt plan to do engine work so quickly. now hopefully i can go down and look at the 98 more. And eventually start modding! im pumped:bah:

98. Better platform since it's less beat up.
