I had an 02 1500 Z71. I loved that thing, bought it from my dad at 35K and drove it to right at 100K and my sister totaled it. Load it to the gills and it wouldn't even notice, I'm 6'3 and I could easily sleep in the back with the second row folded down. Only problem I ever had was the A/c...

take care of a 5.3 and you can beat the hell out of it and it'll last a long time

Thats the exact truck I had, Z71 Package and color! Loved that thing. The roller bar on the rear of the roof rack was pure genius. Never understood why that feature wasn't on more cars. I think a 5.3 would be just fine for your towing needs. I pulled the few trailers I did pull with mine...

A lot of good material here for making an educated decision. If you don't tow, gas probably makes more sense from a pure financial standpoint. However, drive a similar truck with both engines. don't rule out personal preference. If you aren't pinching pennies that hard, go with what you like...

Well lets just hope enough people buy it so they make it a while! It'd be a shame for it to go the way of the diesel liberty. The EPA mpg manufacturer requirements/standards are super complicated, so who knows, if they can squeeze 32 mpg out of it, it may make sense for GM to keep making it so...

I don't know what I have to say that hasn't already been said but I like the truck a lot. I have been following the details for a long time and had planned on looking seriously at the diesel when it came out. But then I couldn't pass on a clean 84 Dodge crew cab, and on top of that I...

I'd look for a crew cab 2001 and older chevy gas truck, or maybe a newer extended cab, depends on how big the people are you wanna haul. Ext cab is fine for kids, but crew cab is a must for taller people in my opinion. diesels are great, but for the budget you have, getting a really solid 4x4...

Trying to recoup some of my conversion costs and am selling a load of leftover stuff, I will update this as stuff sells, so if it's still listed, its still for sale: (Pictures available on request)(willing to ship pretty much any of this at buyers expense). 1) Tuflo 550 Bendix air...

Thanks guys, I'm feeling pretty lucky to have found the truck. It's remarkably clean- a few dings here and there and the lower rear quarter on passenger side is kinda mangled. The rockers have a few rust issues, but not bad, and hey it's a truck right!?

Awesome find, the interior looks immaculate! I'm in the reassembly stage of an 84 crew cab with the same drivetrain. Can't wait to see how it ends up, but I have to admit, reading through your entire 90 thread, it's going to be sad to see it part after all the memories and miles!

yeah i got lucky. has a ton of work left to be done, but ill get there!

frame painted up: Front Dana 60 reinstalled and new Skyjacker springs up front. This is about where the project sits:

Family affair pulling the motor (me, my dad and uncle) Shackle brackets: New turbo: new front seats: Dana 80 rear: cab coming off: cab stripped and painted: Front D60 torn down: nifty trick for removing king pins- weld a plate to it and beat it off: hydro boost setup

Been a long time lurker/reader, figured it was time to post up some pics and info on my build up as the truck is starting to finally get reassembled! Picked up this 1984 W350 Crew last summer for a song. Had an anemic 360 V8, a worn out NP435, a bullet proof NP205, and Dana 60s front and rear...

Long time lurker/reader figured it was time to post a few pics of my rigs. #1- 1989 Chevy K1500- 350/700R4- Inherited from my grandfather recently. Bit ugly on the outside, but he ordered it new and took meticulous care of the drivetrain. 115K on the ticker and it runs like a top. Doing a...
