nope. no parts on the s10 body and the luv body will interchange. the luv and the s10 are 2 completely different trucks. the luv was built by izusu and the s10 was built by chevrolet. in 82 they did share the same motor though. i think that chevy opahse out the 1.9 for the 2.5 chevy iron duke in like 84.

Everything except the engine and tranny in SOME cases is unique between the trucks. The rear aend can be swapped becouse the springs are the same width and they are both spring under axle mounting style. S10s ran Isuzu 1.9L and 2.2Ls for the first few years and behind those engines were Isuzu 4speeds.

Not realy, if you talking about just the engine and trans in some cases then yes i guess you could say that. For the early years i think the engine options were 1.9L Isuzu 2.2L Isuzu deisel and a 2.8L GM. Trannies would have probly been a Borg Warner T5 behind the 2.8L or a Turbo Hydramatic 200r4 (maybe 700r4) and then Isuzu MA4 behind the 1.9L and the 2.2L. But this is speculation becouse i am no S-10 expert. I can just talk from my arse realy well(a Canadian trait you know ).
