Lol I hear ya. I had one in high school too. Overall it looked and drove great. The two issues at the time were the ignition switch didn't need a key, and so my buddies would always move my truck for fun. There was also a pin hole in the gas tank, so I'd take a corner and loose fuel.
Cool video ! Thanks for sharing. I have owned my 1987 Chevy Blazer S10 Tahoe for the last 4 years. I am a Ford guy really, and have always been a fan of the Bronco IIs and the shitty mid size suvs that were produced in the 80's/90s. A Bronco II was my first vehicle that I bought for just 500 bucks in 1999, and I had it for 8 years and bought 3 more over the years. But before I started driving, my buddy who was two years older than I had very same S10 Blazer I do now, and we went every where in NJ in that thing in the 90's, and that is why when I seen it I had to buy it. So many good memories growing up in my buddies Blazer, and we went to Ozzy Concerts, camping trip in Stokes State forest, off roading in West Milford, and taking beach trips to Sea Side Heights and Asbury Park Nj. That truck was a lot of fun, and so were my Bronco II's. They are basically the same thing.
I bought an '84 Chevy s10 Blazer 4x4 last year for $300. Not as pretty as this but gettin' it fixed up. Super stoked to get it all fixed (mechanically). :)
I bought a new '84 base trim with all vinyl interior including floors v6 auto A/C and just under $10K. After 12 years it still looked new. I wish I could get a new one now.
My firsg truck was an 1989 S 10. 2.8 liter v 6 4x4. Loved that little truck. Id buy another one in a second of O could find it. I would splurge for the 4.3 v6. Those are quick little trucks
Mom got one in 1987, the doors had massive rust holes in them when I was old enough to sit in the front seat. 2002 or something. No airbags, so it was okay to sit up front. Haha
I inherited my grandpas 86 s-15 jimmy. The poor thing has rusted out like crazy. Big pieces of metal missing haha. Maybe that special steel and rubber spray wasn’t as effective as they had hoped 😂
My first vehicle ever in high school. A black 1985 Tahoe trim S10 2.8 V6 2wd. It was 1995. Good memories. Tough truck. This vid takes me back when I see that interior. Black 1989 Bronco was what I was lucky to get senior year to replace it.
I still have my old Tahoe trim package with 2.8 V6 still runs good and has the optional power Vista vent IE sunroof, I love when people ask me if it's fast, I just politely remind them it's 3300 lb with only 120 horsepower and shaped like a brick but I wouldn't trade it for nothing
In the 80s everything had to be "designed on a computer" or "computer controlled". To the average person, it made whatever you were selling seem more advanced
Optional rear seat? Not sure why GM wouldn’t offer the rear seat standard. I wonder if that was 83 only, or to claim they had the lowest price at the time.
I was lucky, and got my Blazer from the Original owners with just 75,000 miles on it, and after 4 years I now have 97,000 miles on it ! It has been a rough ride, and I have had a few typical GM problems with it ( Steering Column mounting bolts came loose and had to be completely rebuilt - the power steering pump mounting bracket cracked and had to be welded - 2 radiators so far because they are auto zone Chinese garbage that break - and a few small things.) but I like the truck so much, that I went through the hassle to keep it going and fixing it because the engine still goes with no problems so far thank God. Also, the truck has been immortalized on the cover of my Second book and it is now famous, so i have to keep it on the road ! It is the show truck for my book ! My book is called Road Rage - At Its Finest, and it is on Amazon ! My book is the first self-help book for Road Rage and it is selling like hot cakes.

Man... wouldn't want to drive that 1.9L 4 cylinder with an automatic. 0-60? Maybe. Depends on how much you've got in the vehicle. Just looked it up. Estimated 22 seconds 0-60, lol.
Hey let's load this Blazer up with an empty propane tank, drive into a field and then hook the empty propane tank up in a hot air balloon, fly away, and abandon the Blazer there. That's a totally logical way to demonstrate how awesome the Blazer is
I am restoring a 88 GMC S15 Jimmy now that I have had for ten years. I love these things!
I am in the process of purchasing a 91 s10 Blazer. They are so fun to drive!
I've got an 86 and man I love that car! I never wanna get rid of it!
Man I miss my old S10 Blazer. Soo many good memories from high school and after with that thing.

@@nubwagon3758 oh man I forgot about the ignition switch. Anyone with a GM key could start Blazer. 😂🤣
I just bought a 1988 S10 Blazer 4x4 with the first year 4.3 engine, love this thing!

I just picked up an 87 pick up, working on doing the same with mine
Getting mine 84 tomorrow 130,000 miles $2300 is this a good deal?
@@1jdm408 What's the condition of it? Also, how do you know it has that many miles? I do believe the odometers only show 5 digits plus the 1/10 digit.

I have a 1993 S10 pickup with the tahoe package. It has the optional 4.3 v6. Its one awesome truck.
I grew up with a 1982 two tone blue over white Chevrolet S-10 Tahoe that my dad bought brand new! I've always loved the tough little trucks!!
I grew up watching these roam the highways at the time. While my family never had S10 trucks or SUVs, we knew some friends or relatives who did.
Cool old video!!! I'm a s-10 fanatic and enjoy learning all about them. Thanks for sharing!!!
Got a 1992 Blazer s10 Tahoe, and a 1996 s10 pick up cannot beat them for the price and power..
Me too. I love the blazer and jimmy.
Excellent video. Love the S-10 old school Blazers!
2019 still love my blazer
What blazer do you have
U shouldve said 2020 since its 2 months old comment
Lol wasn't expecting the hot air balloon
For real. Looks like he was celebrating Pride Day with the rainbow colors to ..lol
Pete, I love this. throwback to Gm's old training classes. Thanks for sharing.

U replaced a Chevy with a Ford? 🤔😒
Jason's Journeys You can love both. At least it was American.
@@AbandonedExplorationUrbex1979 Ford but Bronco
Nice and not too obvious fake solid clunking (and identical) sound effects for each door or hatch slamming shut!

torsion springs

I still drive an 03 s10 blazer zr2. I love mine.
Only the finest!
God I miss the eighties

Back seat stayed optional through '93 on most trim levels
lol... the 3-4 bounces of the suspension after he comes to a stop... I'd say he needs some new shocks but it's apparently a brand new vehicle.
Love my 99 last of the full size

Had a 1990 1994 1999 and a 2004 good vehicles.
“Impressive aerodynamic design” that thing was a brick. A nice one, but a brick for sure
He would be in big trouble in that balloon because that tank was stone empty when he unloaded it out of the truck.
what's program module?
They should bring that yellow back lol
The maintenance recommendations are concerning...
Looks? Yes. Performance? Surely, you jest.
fantastico video.quien regala una chevy 4 door caja mecanica para ir a buscarla.ja .ja
The 2.8 was a shit motor but the 4.3 was a awesome motor that would run is ass off.
Man... wouldn't want to drive that 1.9L 4 cylinder with an automatic.
0-60? Maybe. Depends on how much you've got in the vehicle.
Just looked it up. Estimated 22 seconds 0-60, lol.
