I bought this truck used in May of 2001. It is currently owned by my 71 year old Father, who has driven it for the last six years. It is a Virginia truck, purchased new in Woodbridge VA. It then lived with me for a while in Leesburg, VA, then spent a couple years in Maryland, a couple in Pennsylvania, and finally went with my Father to New Castle, VA. Since 2003, I had used it as a farm truck, and drove it very little. My Father does service work for condominiums, and has driven it every day for the last six years. You read the mileage correctly - it has 320,505 miles. Nevertheless, it is a great runner, very strong, and has pulled our 2 horse trailer with ease around here and to North Carolina and back. The Z 71 package is awesome. The limited slip rear and auto locking front differentials make it a very hard truck to get stuck... Overall I'd give it a "fair condition" rating (see below for more details). I never list with reserves, so if you snag this truck for the minimum bid of $999.00, you will have gotten one heck of a good deal. A color-matched aluminum utility cap will go with the truck if the selling price reaches $1,200 or more! See photos. It is a highly functional and nice looking cap with locking side doors and ladder racks. The cap (like the truck) shows signs of wear including scratches, dents, a portion of the ladder rack is bent, etc. The body is in good shape with the exception of one dent in the bed behind the passenger door, and some scratching on the tailgate, hood and passenger side front fender (see pictures). Otherwise there are no major dents, scrapes, etc., but there are certainly scratches and dings which are normal for a vehicle of this age & mileage. The interior is reasonably clean, but is certainly not "detailed". There are tears and some small burns in the seat (see pictures), and a few stains in the headliner, but other than that, the interior is in fairly good shape. The good news: Many Chevy / GMC trucks this age are rusted through at the cab corners. The cab corners on this truck are (miraculously) still solid. Other than a few small rust spots around the windshield, the body is rust free. Again, this is very uncommon, particularly for the age and mileage. There are a few minor mechanical "quirks": The AC compressor leaks and needs charging or possibly replacing (the AC is currently not functioning, but the heat works fine). The engine has had no major work, and is very strong. It does use about a quart of oil every 1,500 miles or so (not uncommon for very high mileage vehicles). Since it had about 80,000 miles, it has always benefited from full synthetic oil, which probably has a lot to do with why it still runs well with that many miles. There is a small exhaust leak at the manifold, which can be heard, but is not loud. The "check engine" light is on, and has been on for at least 150,000 miles. These trucks are known for this sort of thing - it does not require an emissions inspection in Virginia, so both my Dad and I have always just let that light go... The front tires are in decent shape, but the truck has always worn the inside or outside edges out prematurely. You will note the uneven wear in the pictures. The rear tires are in very good shape. As noted above, the transmission was replaced in the summer of 2013. Both universal joints were replaced in February, and several other smaller things. Dad knew he was selling the truck and wanted to feel confident that it was in good running order for its new owner. The truck is certainly not perfect, but it is in amazing condition for its age and its mileage. As with all of my listings, I have gone out of my way to point out the "flaws" here.

I am not a mechanic, and nothing you see above should be construed as a mechanic's opinion. If you would like to have your mechanic look at the truck, I would encourage that as well. The truck is located in Cochranville, PA, which is roughly in between Baltimore and Philadelphia. There are NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED on this vehicle. the vehicle is being sold with a clear title, as is, where is. Again, you are encouraged to come have a look, or have your mechanic do so, please call me at 610 806 3954 Thanks for looking and again, please don't hesitate to call me with any questions, etc. at 610 806 3954.
