No Carfax record. VIN looks like a regular S10 IMO.
Jimmy, I am taking over the carfax (well atlleast for this post)
The VIN he gives is slightly off, he wrote the check digit as the letter 'o' instead of a number '0'
The ad doesn't have very good pictures, but the truck looks complete from what I can see. It would scare me that it needs a windshield, maybe they cracked the windshield swapping VIN's

, maybe it was just a wrecked Sy brought back to life on a regular VIN, but I would want to know what the story is. I am not expert on the prototypes, but I thought the Sy's were on 90 Vin's (I could definately be wrong about this)
