The extended cab S-10 (Chevy's first extended cab pickup) rode on a new 122.9 inch wheelbase with 14.5 inches of that being added to the cab length. Jump seats in the back could accommodate passengers for short trips, though they had to squeeze themselves in through the two doors and past the front seats to get there.
