I picked this up at the end of August 2015. I have been slowly building on it since. I previously had a 97 ex cab automatic Z71.
Details:
1994 (6/94 build date) Extended cab Z71 (true Z71 package with skid plates), NV3500 5 speed manual transmission . This is a work in progress for sure. I picked it up with 270k miles.
The "salesman" if you can call him that blew all kinds of bullsxxx and details that weren't even true at me in hopes I was a buyer. Truth of the matter is, I was a buyer anyway just for the 5 speed manual transmission. The claim was it had a crate motor installed 100k miles ago, yeah uh NO.... the numbers on the block don't lie dude... the SOB is all original.
Anyway I have run the numbers and a VIN check, it is an Oklahoma truck all its life, and had hardly any miles on it until 2002.
The interior is rough as all hell, but I have been making the exterior decent looking as I go.
All my parts and pieces are traded for or used parts, with the exception of what HAD to be new.
