Won this 1998 C1500 Silverado at auction for $1850. 5.7l engine, 2wd, 177k miles.
Issues - mushy brakes, climate control knobs broken, no blower for heat/cool, mirrors only move in one direction, passenger lock jammed, tailgate wouldn't open, no temperature on gauge, smell of rich/unburned fuel in exhaust, stanky oil (fuel).
Fixes - all new brake components (drums, rotors, wheel cylinders, shoes, pads), replace climate control panel, replace blower, replace mirror control switch, free jammed rod for passenger lock, remove tailgate latch and lubricate/free up mechanism, radiator flush, replace temp sensor and thermostat, oil and filter change, new plugs/wires/distributor and rotor.
Now it runs like a top and I think I've found a new love in the GMT400 model trucks!
