97 SILVERADO SHORTBED REGULAR CAB 4X4.I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK 3 YEARS AGO AFTER AN EXHAUSTING SEARCH. I WANTED A SHORTBED REG CAB 4X4 WITH NO RUST,AND NOT BEAT UP.tHIS WAS BY FAR THE NICEST ONE I FOUND.SINCE I KNOW HOW RARE THESE ARE TO FIND IN THIS SHAPE,I HAD NO INTENTION OF EVER SELLING.I WENT OVER THE VEHICLE FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER.I KNOW HOW PRONE THESE MOTORS ARE TO FOR THE INTAKE GASKETS TO LEAK ,I DECIDED TO REPACE ANYTHING THAT I THOUGHT WOULD GO BAD IN THE FUTURE.PULLED THE INTAKE,INSTALLED THE FELPRO UPGRADED GASKETS,FULL TUNE UP,CAP,ROTOR,PLUGS FUEL,AND AIR FILTER,NEW BELT TENSIONER AND BELT,BATTERY,FLUSHED COOLING SYSTEM,REPLACED ALL THE FLUIDS,REAR AXLE,FRONT AXLE,TRANSFER CASE WITH SYNTHETIC FLUIDS,ALL NEW SHOCKS,ETC.ANYTHING I THOUGHT COULD GO BAD WAS DONE.THE PAINT ON THE TRUCK IS A REALLY NEAT BLUE THAT IS ALMOST LIKE A PEARL COLOR (ORIGINAL),IT SHINES AND WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW CHIPS,LOOKS LIKE NEW. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED WITH THE CORRECT GOODYEAR RTS,S,AND THE FACTORY ALUMINUM WHEELS LOOK LIKE NEW WITH NO SALT DAMAGE.I ALSO ADDED A DARK TINT SLIDING REAR WINDOW.THE 305 V8 RUNS AS NEW,AND WITH THE OPTIONAL 3.73 GEAR REALLY RUNS STRONG.THE TRUCK WAS ALSO FACTORY EQUIPPED WITH FACTORY BUCKET SEATS AND A CONSOLE,VERY RARE OPTION.THE INTERIOR PRETTY MUCH LOOKS LIKE NEW,AND EVERYTHING WORKS AS IT SHOULD.THIS TRUCK HAS NO SQUEEKS,NO LEAKS,AND NO RATTLES.EVEN THOUGH THE ACTUAL MILEAGE IS NOW AT 69000,THIS TRUCK COULD PASS FOR A 20000 MILE VEHICLE.I HAVE PUT ABOUT 2000 PLEASURE ONLY MILES ON THIS TRUCK SINCE I HAVE HAD IT,AND IT HAS NOT SKIPPED ONE BEAT.EVERY TIME I TAKE IT OUT,IT GARNERS AS MUCH ATTENTION AS ANY OF MY MUSCLECARS.YOU CAN NOT PULL INTO A GAS STATION AND NOT HAVE SOMEONE COMMENT HOW NICE IT IS. THE ABSOLUTE ONLY REASON I AM SELLING IS BECAUSE MY UNCLE JUST PASSED AWAY,AND I AM GOING TO KEEP HIS TRUCK. THESE SHORTBED 4X4,S ARE GETTING VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND,AND THEY ARE VERY COLLECTABLE. I WILL MISS THIS TRUCK.IT DOES HAVE A CLEAN CARFAX ALSO.ANY QUESTIONS CALL JOHN AT 330 618-6583 I AM RELISTING THIS ONE MORE TIME BEFORE I STORE IT FOR THE WINTER.HOPEFULLY MY FIRST AD HANDLED ALL OF THE TIRE KICKERS,ETC. I LOWERED MY PRICE,AND ADDED A BUY IT NOW.YOU WILL NOT BUY A TRUCK IN THIS SHAPE,AND CONDITION,FOR ANY LESS THAN THIS,REGARDLESS OF THE YEAR.YOU CAN BUY THIS TRUCK,DRIVE IT FOR PLEASURE USE AS I DID,AND ALWAYS GET ALL YOUR MONEY BACK,OR YOU CAN BUY IT,DRIVE THE WHEELS OFF OF IT,AND IN THREE YEARS,IT WILL STILL BE WORTH 6500,WITH 150000 MILES.EITHER WAY IT SHOULD NOT NEED ANY MONEY PUT INTO IT. TO ANSWER A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FROM THE LAST AD,ALL THE BRAKE AND FUEL LINES ARE RUST FREE.I UNDERCOATED THEM WITH CLEAR UNDERCOAT WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK.
