I just got my first truck.. its a 1987 S10 Blazer Sport 4X4
its got the 2.8l v6 with TBI. i got it for 700 bucks spent about 300 on work with my mechanic all in all im pretty satisfied. Now i just need to find an owners manual for it

Heya and Welcome!! you'll pay more for that manual through Chevy then to just hit eBay and get one. That's what I did since mine was missing as well. I got mine for $10.00

Anyways, take a look here:

Welcome to the forum, nice lookin' truck.
You can try used book stores or craigslist for a service manual.

Not bad for 1K, seems to be pretty rust-free, too!

RE: New Blazer owner here!

yeah its almost completly rust free. Body is totally straight all in all im fairly pleased. my mechanic says he thinks its a new engine in it too. only way to know for sure is to run the serials ill prolly do that this summer when its warmer. but its pretty indicative. it has the 2.8l v-6 and the odometer says 195k miles... and well that 2.8L v6 is not known for lasting beyond 130k miles. plus it runs awesomely. it had some problems early on but it appears we have fixed them. my only complaint is she doesnt really have any guts. i mean on flat ground 0 to 60 in about 7. which isnt to bad but going up hill... i have to floor it to get any good amount of acceleration. other then that its perfect so far. anyway i hope to stick around here for awhile. i eventually planning on doing an engine conversion to something with more umph! but im broke as hell at the moment so untill that changes its just a pipe dream.
