1998 Silverado 1500 Z71 ECSB Daily

[OutlawDrifter]

well after many hours of searching, and 4 long drives to find rusted out pickups, or issues that they forgot to tell me about, i have come home with my newest dd.

the pickup came from lake of the ozarks, by way of vegas, and orginated in california.

it has zero rust, let me repeat that, ZERO rust. the exhaust is still shiny, the frame looks brand new, and luckily enough it doesn't have any sun damage. it rolled over 200k on my trip home with it, but drives like a top and pulled off 15mpg running 75mph into a strong 30-40mph headwind.

the last 80k it was owned by a pilot who drove it twice a week between vegas and l.a. it's loaded up with captains chairs, cd player, overhead console, compass mirror, 3rd door, and push button 4wd(i would rather have a floor shift).

immediate needs include; timing cover(seal) or front main, fuel sender(gauge is wonky), oil sender(also wonky), 195 or 200* t-stat(has a 180), splash gaurds, nerf bars, manifold to headpipe donut, and a better exhaust(can't hear it running...)

eventually it will get two-toned like my last rcsb, some different wheels and tires, smoked or crystal headlights, and maybe some color matched street flares.

pictures in a day or two.
