I had to laugh at your comment about the tough grill. I grew up in Northwest Indiana where the winters can be harsh. When I was in high school one winter in 93 my buddy's dad just got a new full size Chevy pickup with that tough grill. Sure enough we saw the commercial and my buddy not being the sharpest knife in the drawer had to test it out against my advice not to. The look on his face was priceless when that Louisville Slugger went through the grill followed by "my dad is gonna kick my ass ten ways from Sunday". My response while chucking "sucks to be you buddy"

I built a Revell #7435 GMC Syclone Pick up Skill Level 2 model kit and a Monogram # 2438 Waverider Chevy S10 Pick up Skill Level 2 model kit back in the mid 1990s. The Waverider Chevy S10 was a customized version of the S10 pick up. It had a custom front grill and bumper, custom rims, tonneau pick up bed cover, body ground effects, a rear spoiler for the pick up bed, and a custom decal sheet. It was molded in a metallic green color.

I just finished the scratch built 85 front clip & still working on the dash. This kit is a reissue kit from the 90s wich they reused the mold for the gmc syclone ,s10 lowrider and the waverider same kits with different front grill option and ground effects ,

Awesome build, Chris! I picked up a couple of these myself (and have both 2 different older versions of Revell's S10 the kit was based on sealed-ready to build someday, and 1NIB ready to build later Syclone kit). I've owned 3 1st Gen S10's over the years, a 1988 4x4 Sport (2.8L automatic), and a pair of lowered '91's (at the same time, early 00's), one had been my grandpa's before me (2.5L/5 speed, bare bones truck, I static dropped it as low as I could get it, LOL, he bought it new in 1991) and the other I bought with a 350/700R4 combo already in it that I added "big n little" Rally wheels from a '68 or '69 Camaro (it was a no shine red color, I masked of scallops with flames for the inner striping and sprayed it in grey primer over top of the red, saw an old Datsun 521 in a minitruck show like that and really liked it). Anyways, sorry to ramble. Thanks for the memories, brother, I hope you and family are well 😊✌

Not true sir. You have improper general motors information. The manufacturer began in 1982, produced this truck in 4x4 in all models of s-10 as an option. the bravada came way way later like 1993 they had been producing 4x4. For many years sir the bravada is a non selectable all wheel drive system. Its not selectable as in modes 4x2 or 4x4 high or low range. Lets not spread false information thanks!

Excellent review and build as always! Looks like a great kit that I may need to get, except I'll use the solid rear window. That way I don't have to chase another stereo stealin' thief down the street while waving a baseball bat over my head. :)) Yes, that happened once. :(
