  • Taking my friend Craig's 89 silverado that he got for FREE for a test drive. 126K miles, 5.7 350 TBI V8, PW, PL, and a horrible topper and running boards that will soon be ripped off.

    Those are about the best trucks around. Learning to drive on one. 350,000, abused and still ran good. Good power, decent brakes too.

    Ive had mine for 15 years. 89' just like this. Still use it daily. Im the second owner and knew the first. GREAT truck. It had only 51,000 miles on it in 2001, and lightly used all highway miles. He kept it in a round top shed all those years and used it on quick fishing excursions once in awhile.

    I got a 94 K1500 and love it. I mostly drive when the weather is bad but i love to hear that 350 engine startup and roar. These are by far the best trucks around and reliable.

    Not that anyone will care but My Dad owned a 1995 GMC Sierra ext cab (gave it to my grandpa) and my Dad before this GMC, his first truck was a 1991 Chevy Silverado 1500, he had these really cool carbon fibre tail lights. I might get the 95 Sierra when I’m 16. I’d take care of the rust, lift it 3 inches, Retro looking stainless wheels with big tires. Keep the tail lights that my Dad has on his 91 (put it on the Sierra) and install front LED signals and maybe tow mirrors just for looks!

  • @slowride55

    Like play from turning left to right? Thats to be expected on an old truck, my 96 c1500 had some play when I got it, but my mechanic was able to tighten up the steering box.

  • @BlakeRTyler

    That interior is in great shape! The dash on those trucks are usually all jacked up from the sun. I noticed the plastic door panels. Is it a Cheyenne or Scottsdale? Also I'm sure that truck will have no problem wrapping that speedometer around lol. I want to see more videos of this truck!

    The steering column is loose where the tilt is which can be easily tightened, but no it had tight steering.
