I'm a big fan of the OBS ('88-98) body style myself. Had a '93 short/step as my first vehicle, & owned it for a little over 9 years. Just got into a fullsize again ('97 2dr/2wd Tahoe) in January of this year.

My '90 model came to me via a trade for a '71 Super Beetle that I had a grand total of $50 in… The kid traded me the Silverado straight across, he drove it to my place shifting sans clutch. I pulled the pushrod, had it welded back together and bled the clutch and started driving it!
Apparently he bent and broke the clutch pedal pushrod after replacing the Master & Slave Cylinders… For a year or so I scratched my head as to how the pushrod was broken... Then the "used" master cylinder he put on gave up the ghost.
I replaced the part and during the bleed process the rod, from the slave cyl to the clutch fork, slipped off and locked up against the bell housing. This caused the Clutch pedal to lock up... After diagnosing the problem the proverbial Light Bulb lit up… That's when I realized, when that happened to the PO, he muscled it until the pushrod bent and broke…
