does the s-10 and sonoma sit on the same frame. can u get some parts for a 2002 s-10 and it slip right into place on a 2002 sonoma.

yes, they're virtually identical. with a few cosmetic differences. obviously the badges are a little different, the grill/headlight assembly, the hood, body side molding, etc. but, as major components go, they're the same. except that the Sonoma is a little bit better in almost all cases.

If they are almost exactly the same how is the sonoma any better?

In Barch's case - it's because he happens to own a Sonoma.

Mechanically the trucks are identical.

Options-wise - the Sonoma is slightly better appointed.

At one point in time, years ago, GM used to sell the GMC line as a higher-end truck than it's Chevy counterpart - and at a higher sticker price.

Over the years, the GMC seems to have kept the slightly higher MSRP, but you can easily option a Chevy to match almost all of the GMC trim packages.

You're all just jealous of my super handsome Sonoma

Does it really matter. GMC, S-10 as long as you mod it it's all good. Just my two cents. Personally I got my Sonoma cuz they gave me like 8 grand off of sticker. It was also the last one in the city. Good things come to those who wait. I would love it just as much if it were an S-10.

If they would have had the N90 wheels I would be driving one today. I like their hoods and grille better.

Thats cool. I like the look of the Sonoma grill with the billet insert. More billet equals more bling-bling.

another question does the 02 jimmy and blazer sit on the same frame as the sonoma and s-10?

S-series frames:
#1-Pickup,2wd,regular cab, short bed
#2-Pickup,2wd,regular cab, long bed
#3-Pickup,2wd,extended cab,short bed
#4-Pickup,4wd,extended cab, crewcab, short bed
#5-Pickup,ZR2,extended cab,short bed
#6-Utility, 2wd, 2-door
#7-Utility, 2wd, 4-door
#8-Utility, 4wd, 2-door
#9-Utility, 2wd, 4-door
It was not shown for 2001, but I assume...
#10-Utility, ZR2, 2-door

That makes ten different frames.
