Reliable & Fun Truck/4.3L Vortec V6/4L60E Auto/10 Bolt 3.42 Posi/111 851 Miles

1996 Chevrolet S10 Blazer

”First of all, the award winning Chevrolet Blazer was designed from the inside out to be comfortable, roomy and safe. Then we added an exclusive Driver Control System to its dependable, long lasting Chevrolet truck chassis, to help you feel more secure in any driving situation. Finally, Blazer was styled to become the sleek piece of rolling sculpture you see here. Chevrolet Blazer. Whoever thought comfortable, roomy and safe could look so good.” Excerpted from the 1996 sales brochure. 

For consignment, a 1996 Chevrolet S10 Blazer with a title verified 111,851 actual miles. Adult owned and driven, this one has been given a unique profile with the addition of some wrap and a stunning set of wheels. 

Exterior
The original Olympic White paint is accented by the black wrap and dark tinted windows above, giving the truck a dramatic profile. Add some matching wheels and your normal pedestrian SUV becomes something a bit special. Here we have Foose wheels, 17-inch in front and 20-inch in back, solid black spokes and a thin silver rim, a dynamic set of shoes with a  staggered set of tires that sets this S10 apart. The chrome grille takes in single, square inset headlights while the tail lights take on a flush profile with rounded corners, differentiating them from the previous S10 generation. Overall, the condition is very nice with imperfections noted as chips on the edge of the hood, other chips throughout, touched up scratches, and scuffs on front and rear bumpers.

Interior
Cloth accenting begins on the beige door panels where plastics and vinyl also add to the well designed door, both presenting nicely with the driver’s showing just a touch of use. The cloth bucket seats have held up well for the most part with a small tear in the driver’s and the rear buckets presenting nicely, each afforded their own cupholders, armrests, and speakers embedded in the sidewall. A black steering wheel and central stack offers a nice contrast to the tan coverage on the inside and an overhead console offers lights, storage and a digital display. The instrument cluster is simple and concise and GM’s gray buttoned era is evident on the AM/FM/Cassette radio and adjacent A/C panel dials. A center console provides the cupholders and storage for front occupants and tan carpet covers the floor with matching mats. The rear cargo area is also carpeted, including the tailgate, and has a fully covered spare tire. 

Drivetrain
The fully stock powerplant under the hood is GM’s 4.3 liter Vortec V6, a venerable engine putting out 190 horsepower and one that is fuel injected. It’s mated to the 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission that routed power to the 10 bolt axle with 3.42 gears and the coveted G80 RPO, Positraction. The bay presents cleanly.

Undercarriage 
We veer from stock configuration here as the consignor has added BellTech products that include lowering springs, Nitro gas shocks, rear lowering blocks and drop spindles. Power brakes are on board as front disc and rear drum and a single exhaust travels through a stock style muffler on it way to a rearward exit.

Drive-Ability
This truck has been well maintained and it shows both cosmetically and by how it runs. We have no complaints here as the trusty Vortec pulls this black and white S10 around the test loop without a hiccup. All functions operate as they should and you will find this one in the truck room at Classic Auto Mall! While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

You want a cool little grocery getter that will also fit right in on cruise night? Here’s an unmodified, (engine), and clean example of what’s becoming more uncommon each year; a second gen S10. At 30 years old, this is a classic you can also daily drive!
