do all S10 engines have this frost plug wire? I cannot see any 110v plug anywhere in or around my engine bay that one would plug an external cord into...or are they energized via the truck's battery/elecs?

no they are not connect to the truck battery. the other end of that cable should have a household 120volt 2 or 3 prong plug

depends on the market/country it was built for. if you want to find out if your truck has this option provide your vin to either a dealer or gm customer service and ask for a build sheet.
