A little S-10 for that do it, its already worth quite a bit since its 4x4 and if it has airlockers I think you wouldnt have to worry about getting stuck unless you were trying to

I would trade. it's even a better deal if you can perform simple maintenance/part replacement. that's a truck you could have for a while but feeding it gas coming from a 2.2 s-10 will be a bit of a leap.
