I saw a Chevy S15 today at a red light. Regular cab, manual tranny. Still goin'. In the 80's and early 90's I saw S10s everywhere. But this looked to be an 80's model S15.

What was the difference between the two? Engine, options, what?

My BIL would still be driving his after 180,000 miles except someone totaled it for him.

Yup, the Chevy was an S10. IMHO a better truck than the Colorado/Canyon that replaced it. Plenty of them still on the road.
Engines:-
- 2.5L 4-cyl (Iron Duke) in the early days. (Can you believe this was also the base engine in a Chevy Astro and Camaro!!)
- 2.8L V6
- then a 4.3L V6.
I don't have the accurate years for each

You got it! Chevy S10 and the GMC S15 are identical.
