Jeremy K Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I sold my 93 with almost 300k on the original engine and it still ran great. It was after that body style their quality went down the crapper for quite awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splitear Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) That’s awesome! My dad still drives my old ‘95 half ton Chevy. 310,000 miles, original 350. I put a rebuilt tranny in it when I had it. I have a lot of memories in that truck, and I hope that I get it out to NY someday. I’m sure dad will drive it until he dies, so I hope it winds up out here many, many years from now.

Swamp_bucks Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 That's the type of truck I learned how to drive. My dad had one that was green with the 8ft bed. That truck was bullet proof. Great find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsmanNH Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Great Find G-Man ! That was a steal for $1000 bucks ! Sitting there in a barn since 2002 I'm surprised mice didn't turn it into a Luxury Condo Complex . LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolc123 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) I had a silver one just like it. It was a great truck. I put about 70000 miles on it without any breakdowns and sold it to a friend who still runs it. I replaced it with a 3/4 ton 2000 8 ft box Silverado which I gave to my father in law a few years ago. He put a plow on it and still uses it to maintain all the roads at his retirement camp. My 2000 has the 6 liter and has also been relatively trouble free, never leaving me stranded or requiring a tow. The only troubles it had were rust/road salt related. They did improve the fuel mileage a bit when they redesigned the engines in 2000, but I have no complaints with the (3) GM 350's that I have owned. I drive another 2000 Silverafo now, also a 3/4 ton but a Florida truck that has never seen a NY winter and does not have a spot of rust on it. As long as I can keep it that way, I dont suppose I will ever be in the market for another truck. He still "let's" me use my old truck when I go up there hunting in the fall: Edited May 21, 2021 by wolc123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
