No, a 1982 Chevrolet S10 is generally
not considered reliable by today's standards. These trucks are over 40 years old and have likely experienced significant wear and tear. Parts are becoming increasingly difficult and expensive to find, and many components may be nearing or beyond their useful lifespan. Expect significant maintenance and repair costs.
While some meticulously maintained examples might still be functional, it's far more likely that any 1982 S10 will require considerable work to keep it running, and even then, it will likely be prone to breakdowns. Rust is also a major concern for vehicles of this age, particularly in areas with harsh winters.
