Have 4x4 S10's always had IFS, or did any earlier versions have a SFA?

IFS as far back as I can remember -- 82 or so.

Yes, and their predecessor the LUV is IFS also.

It is better than some of the radius arm designs , used in the LUVs.

As for the S-series line , it has not changed much since the beginning.

I think the design is pretty good , for what it was designed to do.

For daily driving , ride , and handling the IFS is the only way to go.

Check out the rally racers (baja 1000, Dakar, etc.) IFS is the design of choice there.

SFA has it's place too (mud, rockcrawling, etc.). I don't feel that there is any one suspension choice that is best for all uses , or terrains.

The IFS is my choice for the desert terrain, and driving that I do.

I think Chevy has been one of the first with IFS. Even in the 70's or maybe before.

Yours doesn't have those? I think that must be one more thing that became an "option" after the 2001 model

Always have some "winner's circle girls" around...just in case you need them.

I remember driving through Kentucky or Tennesee when the Luv was new and saw about 10 SFA trucks at a dealership. Must have been converted.

Yeah, I noticed that. Did she actually model on top of your hood, or did you superimpose her on to it?
