Took a little road trip, 2500 miles in a 33 year old truck....in a couple days.

[sailUSVI]

Traveled thru 16 states, 2500 miles and the truck was flawless. Ran it at 65-70 mph the whole way. Left Portland at 12:30am early Tuesday morning and arrived outside of Austin at 3:00pm Thursday (yesterday) afternoon...beat

B(f)ought it back home to restore, its a very desirable collector truck. 1987 was the last year for the famed square body Chevy trucks. This one is fully loaded 4X4 shortbed stepside that is 100% original with every option except the automatic transmission, it has the truck 4 speed, essentially a 3 speed.

That Saginaw 4spd is as solid a trans as ever made. My little 200 hp v8 will drag a house in low gear

Wish it was in better shape. I need to throw money at it but am paying immigration lawyers instead

They do an overdrive or are you suggesting a rear end change

 

[sailUSVI]

no gear change, these are self contained units that bolt up to the transfer case, very cool.

I just did 2700 miles in a lifestyle truck... avg 75ish. It has heated & cooled seats plus massage. Was able to go 400+ on a tank... probably could have gone 450ish or more if I carried a gas can.
I think I prefer getting up in the morning and heading out versus departing after a work day.
Whats the range on that truck??

And they cost more than I paid for the truck!

That Lifestyle truck was more gay than Z's purple Vette. The message seat would take some getting used to, with those things going up your ass.
