88 chevy truck, 4x4, 350, new trans, doesn't run right now (fuel pump). I got to put ~80 miles on it so far, sure is nice sitting up high but sucks getting 13mpg.



Anyone ever replace a fuel pump on one of these before? I know I have to drop the tank but that's about it. Nice thing about these trucks is every thing is like 3 bucks and the parts are always on the shelf.

i'm on the prowl for something to replace the blazer just because i don't want to kill the trans towing with it!



i saw the new nissan titan truck is cheap! and it can tow 9900lbs!!!!!!

Yay! Old Chevy trucks! Here's mine--'85 Silverado C30 dooley.

Hey, I wish I got 13 mpg. That's pretty good.
