@Jeremy Marsh Actually, RAM and GM both suck. Poor quality control. I had many Fords, and had way less problems. My 99 F250 had 398k miles when I sold it to my neighbor, and he still drives it. Only major fix was a transmission at 275k miles. My 05 Focus had 200k miles when we sold it to my wife's brother, and he's still driving it with almost 300k miles! Same engine and transmission. Had a 94 Ranger and sold it at 150k miles. Ran great. Bought a Dodge Ram after that and dumped it 6 months later, even with taking a loss. Piece of garbage. I have an 05 Focus wagon now, with 107k miles and runs like a top and a 2014 F350 diesel with 66k miles. Just saying.

i have the same one

[@jewllake]

IRC 1988 Roy Orbison you got it! This truck gets me more excited than my new 2018 6.2lt 4x4 GMC Sierra SLT. Very, very nice truck! Congrats and enjoy it!

[@wsttxC10_454]

It's nice to see older Chevy trucks still running around on the road kinda takes me back to the America I remember growing up in. As for the reliability of them all I can say is I myself own an 89 C1500 and at 244,320 miles on the odometer she's still running like a champ 😁

[@carter2858]

My friend has a 94 c1500 and has 350,000 miles and it still runs good

[@James-dg6xh]

Love this truck. Beautiful inside and out. A true classic.

[@TiMOThy931GBO]

I had a 1990 Chevy stepside and I drove that thing like the General Lee and it took it.Loved that truck

[@cardinalfang7725]

I'm glad you drove yours. That's why they make the damn things. I'll drive my vehicles until they fall apart at a stop light, then I'll go buy something else. Always something worthwhile coming down the road. Not everything new sucks.

[@ralphmitchell3435]

My daily driver is a 98 GMC sle. Bought new in 98 .307000 miles and just got back from a weekend trip pulling a 4300 lb travel trailer. Cant beat that 5.7 !

[@hfxvgddg1354]

the real American truck ... big salute from dubai to all of you and to the owner of this sweet truck.

[@classic287]

Classic beauty. I love that color combo. Classic as it gets...

[@perryedwards4267]

I'm on my third early 90s Chevy truck. The one I have now only has 160,000 miles. Hoping for 300,000 because it is my favorite so far.

[@elioselectric468]

The absolute definition of a Chevy pickup. And 16k for a fully loaded chevy pickup 30 years ago is the absolute definition of inflation...

[@SnapWild164]

16,000 in 1990 was the equivelant of 30,000 today's money.

[@rdkndr1]

And junk is pricey to this day

[@fistcover3831]

Boy I wish trucks still had MSRP stickers as affordable as this one!!

[@brandonk7720]

This is actually about the same price as a 2019 Silverado WT 2 door, long bed with the 5.3 and with plenty of options. Which is the closest you can get to this truck

[@allanbrogdon7453]

99 Yukon slt sticker was over 33000.Only thing i don't like is anti lock brakes.I took out the fuse it stops great.

[@bolerdweller]

If you know the right people you can buy them pretty cheap. I have a buddy that orders 30 or 40 at a time and gets a fleet discount. Crew cab v8 for 25g. 29 Canadian all said and done

[@bolerdweller]

Also have a friend who's family owns a dealership, he gets his diesel one tonnes for the price of a base model half tonne

[@ernestomarquez4972]

Look it may look very little but as inflation throghout the years prices go up and we're looking around $30,000 in today's money.

[@steelisthemeal]

I’ve got a few of these And they are By far the best Especially great even though they are treated with tremendous neglect

[@omartinoco9930]

Why not maintain them properly if they are the best?

[@ComputerJunky87]

Hard to find an original Chevy that kids haven’t ragged out.

[@DaWiTtLeR]

If you follow the OBS world there are tons of OG's out there dropping trucks with big wheels as well

[@brandonayers3338]

The old guys always gotta complain about what we do no matter if it’s imports or American it don’t matter we will always get hate it’s whatever

[@ComputerJunky87]

Well most young guy make most classic trucks into kid toys and break different things on them to where you have to completely rebuild them so you can’t pass the vehicle on or they end up in junkyard because they wreck them while showing out. Also they put really dumb tires and rims like even Scotty said about big rims.

[@brandonayers3338]

Computer Junkie big rims is part of the culture I got a 89 c1500 on 24’s with a 4/8 and I haven’t broke mine

[@ComputerJunky87]

Didn’t say all. How old are you Brandon?

[@aprylspage5852]

My Chevy 2004 suburban is a beast!! Never had an issue except the 4x4 at 200k I’m still driving it across North America every summer

[@allenbowick4716]

I wish my '90 k1500 Z71 that my dad bought new looked that good. Mine 325,000 trouble free miles. Only 2 fuel pumps & had to pull the dizzy to replace the pickup with another AC Delco part. No leaks, never been in engine. Oh yeah replaced ac compressor @ 300k w/another Delco, everything else still works the same as it did in July 1990 when I was 14 years old. Damn they sure built em good back then. When new my dad got 17 city, 21 hwy with the 350, turbo 700R4, 4x4 & 3.42 gears. Not too shabby if you ask me.

[@Z71OBS]

I love my OBS chevy, well over 200,000 miles and it never skips a beat

When my grandfather passed he gave me his 84 cheve and my God it was beautiful.

[@garrettfriend4772]

Had a brand new 1992 chevy Silverado z71 back in the day a real good truck loved it! Wish they made trucks like that again!! When trucks were truck.. you still could work on them just a v8 with basic efi system!!!!

[@tahoeboy8658]

My 99 tahoe has 318k miles all original and no rust. Seats have no rips and barely worn driver seat. These were the last of the great trucks.

[@chancejohnson8504]

Ive got a 1990 gmc 1500..same 350...same exhaust...great truck

[@Thevacomaticvacuumcorner]

Those older Gmc Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado 1980s to mid 1995 are bullet prof

[@lastliks99]

I'd say they went downhill after 2007. Those 1999-2007 were great trucks as well. I think their newer trucks are junk.

[@lastliks99]

@Jay Edwards it's all about fancy options and gadgets now. Reliability has taken a backseat in today's auto industry. Heated/Cooled seats and a huge touchscreen radio are useless if the truck isn't dependable.

[@wayneelliott9523]

You're breaking my heart 💔! Had that same truck, longbed, same beautiful color scheme, bought new at the local Chevy dealer in 1989. Same interior, had the 350 auto. WOW, that's one I wish I'd kept!

[@staceyowens8496]

Still got my dad's, same as what you mentioned. He passed in 2008 and it had 77,000 miles on it. I've been driving it for about 10 years now and it's up to 163,000 and still runs strong. Wouldn't get rid of it for nothing. Nicknamed it Ol Blue.

[@Lucianato2]

Beautiful truck! Great work keeping it original (minus the few parts you said that weren't) Also, thank you for not putting some gaudy rims on it, too!

[@markoberacher8191]

That was a full sized pickup truck back then, now the so called midsize GM is this size. But not nearly as nice.

My father used to have a 1989 Cheyenne single cab 4x4. Living in a rural area he use it all the time for his personal chore. The truck having passed the 20 years marks, we were still going deep in the forest chopping wood, filling the bed up to the roof (with side boards obviously). Sadly the truck was put to scrap after an incident with the brake lines, nobody got hurt but the good ol' GM/Chevy was totalled.
