http://www.isuzupup.com/ had one, gutless but was a great motor 45MPG diesel.
1988+ 22RE powered Toyota Pick Up 2WD 5 speed/manual also the best bet for small truck.
Or if you don't mind of current diesel oil price, go with newer Chevy Silverado 2500 HD ( Diesel) which is Isuzu diesel motor, known bulletproof.

That's probably why the humvee use them but they never evangelize about it :)

What kind of mileage are you guys seeing with the s10's?
Mileage is far more important to me than power, I drive teh eta ofcourse. ;)
The truck will mainly be used to make small dump runs, lumber yard, salvage yards (both vehicle and building materials) basically just diy house fixerupper shit, no real hauling.

Tell you the truth, i never really checked mine. Since it has the opt. 20gal tank. I really hate to fill it up all the way since i never really drive it. Although i did put a 4.3 throttle body on and a exhaust onto my 2.8 thats in it. So i should of checked what it got before i changed those things to see what gas mileage i did get, compared to now.

Comparable mileage to E30's... easy to dip low into the teens if you have a very heavy foot and like lighting up tires, but even easier to stay in the high 20's range. But expect about the same economy as your E30 but with a big gas tank (also have the 20gal).
