This one could be a good deal if it's in okay shape. I like the color and the step-side and only 94k miles.

That's a hell of a price for only 94 thousand miles.

Thanks! Definitely worth considering. I prefer non step side and single cab and manual trans but that is a great deal.

Found this one too, though a little more expensive than I wanted to pay. I noticed it appears to have 6 lug nuts though, I thought the 1500's had 5?

Also a nice truck, 2wd's have 5 lugs, 4x4's 6, until you get into the 8600 GVRW and up trucks, which have 8 regardless.

There's a sticker inside the glovebox that will show all the original options the truck came with, as well as gear ratio, etc.

Vortec's have issues with intake manifold gaskets. Both the 6's & 8's.

Thanks for all the info and help.
