Which filter would be best for my 1994 K1500? trucks got 275,000km on it and want it to last me a long time, i been using farm, is there a better filter for my old motor?

i would recommend fram, ac delco, or purolator

And I would recommend WIX. Everyone has a preference. Most name brands will be fine. With that many miles on your engine you're doing something right, keep clean oil in it and it should keep going for quite a few more.

I use wix all the time. Great filters

I just bought mobil 2000 high mileage synthetic blend, it gets really damn cold where i live, as cold as -40 ambient almost -50 with the wind on the worst of days, average is -20, what do you guys think? would a conventional be better? like a castrol? i have a conventional oil that only says shell on it.. dont know if it will cut it though

The oil you bought is good stuff. Is it 5w30 because that's what you need for cold weather, not 10w30

has anybody tried to use a larger filter and more oil instead of a stock one?
any advantages? Obviously more of a cost?

I have been thinking about a dual filter relocation kit. I know it's overkill, but I like the idea. More oil capacity would lower the oil temps I think.

yeah, same concept as a bigger oil pan, but what if a pan is not in the cards... like off road etc, one would think that a bigger filter (more capacity/more surface area of filter element) would do the same to reduce temp and boost capacity.
