My 98.5 Unicorn...

[Wilecoyote]

I found this gem a few months ago and I'm in love. I call it a Unicorn cause it's in pretty good shape and very low miles......

I am very jealous of that truck. I would love to have that exact one, I had that same truck only a 2500 that I lifted and drove for 11 years but I had to sell it. If I could find that truck by me I would trade my 800 for it in a heartbeat. That is an awesome truck congrats and hope you enjoy it!

That was literally my dream truck when I was in high school. Very nice find!!

Pretty common truck, least around here. Now, if it was a manual, then she'd be more of a unicorn. More so if it was a shortbox regular cab and if it had a two tone paint scheme. I believe those were still available.. in the late 90's

I get what your saying and I don't disagree that those are also unicorns, but I cant imagine you see a truck in that good of shape with the low miles and original sticker in your area all the time. Most of the ones I see are used and abused or have tons of miles on them and 3 or 4 owners. Especially being where we are by now most of the trucks are rusted if you drove them at all during the winter.

Plus, it's a 99 holdover, not many of those kicking around anymore.

I bought a 98 LS S10 vortek V6 in 2001 w 42k. I still have it w 215k,you can see its reflection in one of the k1500 pics.

I wanted another 4wd truck to tow my boat,the s10 did ok but wanted to overheat w temps in the 80/90 after 30 mins of towing.
The S10 has been spanked for the last 10 yrs at least and just keeps on kickin ass hauling firewood and trash to the dump

I did not want any truck w AFM and didn't want to pay rediculous prices of the newer used gm trucks for sale w close to 200k.
I guess Im old school and wanted another old truck w some comfort too. My brother has 2 used 90s suburbans and currently driving a 2000 Tahoe w the same engine etc. as my truck, hes got 260k and running fine pulling his 21' center console back and forth from the beach 4 or 6 times a year for 3 yrs now.

Love the Yota. My dad had a 93 one. 5 spd, 4wd black scsb with the awesome 90s graphics on the side. It was such a bulletproof truck. I miss the simplicity of trucks back then. It was the perfect combination of modern mechanics with the simplicity of trucks from the 70s/80s.
