I wonder why they wouldn't inspect it? Looks pretty clean to me.

Rockers are rotted in just a short spot, tires are like new but BADLY dry rotted and the inner fender on the drivers side is see through. But i can fix all that in a day!

In Pennsylvania, no sharp edges or holes into the passenger compartment. That rust could be fixed with one cut open beer can and poprivets.:)

I had a pair of 91's, both long beds and both with the 4.3 V6. One was an auto and the other was a 5-speed. Both trucks were the Tahoe trim level too with tilt and delay, full carpet and cloth and whatnot. They were great trucks.

Only thing i wish is that this one was 4x4 and 5spd with that 4.3 but im not bein picky! That 4.3 is enough to make me happy!! So it has an OD trans in it, any idea what it would be?

700r4. The 2wd's can be fun though. I did exhaust, springs, sway bars, fat 16's, blacked out and body colored trim, factory fogs, and a sweet bucket seat interior. That was the 5-speed truck, it was a hoot.
