@ yabadabadoo: I would like to see that too, but I think they are looking forward with Chevrolet and not planning on reliving the glory days.
(late reply due to Easter. didn’t touch the computer for three days and it was kinda nice!)
Other high mileage vehicles in my family.
1977 Chevy 1/2 Ton Cheyenne stepside. My father bought it new and had it for about 20years.
Put over 280,000 miles on it when he sold it. He put a bigger cam in it around 80k. No other rebuild needed.
Aside from a couple clutches, he never touched the transmission or rear-end.
I would even see it around town for four or five years afterwards.
1990 Chevy 1500 Silverado LW. Approx 250k and still going strong.
replaced head gasket at about 120k. Haven’t touch the 700R4 transmission either.
still gets about 17-18 mpg on the highway.
1991 Chevy 3500 Silverado Extended cab Dually.
230k when sold out of state. 454 Rebuild at 150k (Removed EFI and went with a performance cam.)
We probably haven’t been the best GM customers since we hold on to our vehicles as long as we can. 🙂
