Look for the 83 and up S10's. They have the newer, better steering box that makes it a better/easier swap.
Every week there's at least one on Ebay. Typical price is $60-$80 but some have gone for less than $40.

i bought mine as a reman with a lifetime warranty for $150 from autozone. didn't want the hassle of having to go junkyard hunting around here since the price is jacked up since i'm near chicago.

I used one from an 80's S10, it was a direct fit, the only problem was that it hit my front sway bar bracket, but I was taking it off anyways..
Works great.. The install is on my website..
Cheers,
