The '''Chevrolet S-10''' was a [[compact car|compact]] [[pickup truck]] from the [[Chevrolet]] marque of [[General Motors]]. When it was first introduced in 1982, the [[GMC (General Motors division)|GMC]] version was known as the '''S-15''' and later renamed the '''GMC Sonoma'''. A high-performance version was released in 1991 and given the name of [[GMC Syclone]]. The truck was also sold by [[Isuzu]] as the '''[[Isuzu Hombre|Hombre]]''' from 1996 through 2000. There was also an [[SUV]] version, the [[Chevrolet S-10 Blazer]]/[[GMC S-15 Jimmy]]. An [[Chevrolet S10 EV|electric version]] was leased as a fleet vehicle in 1997 and 1998. Together, these trucks are often referred to as the '''S-series'''. In 2004, the S-series was replaced by new models: the [[Chevrolet Colorado]], [[GMC Canyon]], and [[Isuzu i-Series]]. | The '''Chevrolet S-10''' was a [[compact car|compact]] [[pickup truck]] from the [[Chevrolet]] marque of [[General Motors]].

The 2wd S-series Truck shares several front suspension components with the GM G-body platforms (I.e. Chevy Monte Carlo and [[Buick Regal]]). Along with the fact that the optional 4.3 liter V-6 shares several characteristics and dimensions of the early small block Chevy V-8 it has become a popular platform for Hot Rodders. Since the introduction of the S-series the ingenuity of its owners has made the [[V8]] installation one of the most popular American domestic [[engine swap]]s. With relative ease the V-8 swap has seen almost every size small block Chevy displacement produced from 262 in³ to the large {{Auto CID|400}} engine. Some owners have even been able to install the large big block GM engines such as the 396-427-454 in³ engines with minor modifications. | The 2wd S-series Truck shares several front suspension components with the GM G-body platforms (I.e.
