I have two GM trucks

My Sierra SLE has about 210,000 miles.
Non restored.

My Chevrolet CST has about 90,000 but it was hard miles.
Yes ... it has been restored

The miles seemed to take a larger toll on the older rigs.
Expectations for longevity were lower back then. They were built in a time when vehicles making it all the way to 100,000 miles were the exception rather than the rule.

Those are both very nice looking trucks.

Both look good though. Hope neither has to go thru a critical barn issue ever again.
