They're not all the same trannies....
He states it's got the 4spd manual tranny. That's the predecessor to the T-5 that's in most S-10s and it has no OD.
It's certainly a cheap truck and will likely do just fine for getting you around. But, if it were me I'd spend a little more and try to find a 2nd gen with a 2.2L and a T-5 tranny. I used to have a '98 S10 with this combo and regularly got 33mpg hwy. It was a good little truck and ran like a top (w/ 262k miles).
