I am selling at NO RESERVE this beautiful 1992 Chevrolet Silverado Step-Side pick up truck.  It is quite rare to find these step-sides available in this condition that are unmolested.  I know, because I searched for a long time to find this one!


I have sold two other antique very nice vehicles on E-bay this year, also at no reserve. One of my vehicles was shipped to FL, the other one to Australia, both site unseen and both buyers are extremely happy.  I expect whoever buys this truck will be happy with this purchase, as well.  That being said, I cannot provide a warranty and you are buying as-is.

As you can see from the many pictures, this truck is a beauty.  It always receives compliments whenever I drive it.  The factory sticker on the door states this truck was made in Fort Wayne, Indiana.   As far as I know, I am the second owner.  The original owner was a retired man, and used it as a camper, and in fact, the truck bed was spotless.  There are still a few signs of the silicone rubber caulking that he used to seal the camper.  The scratches on the truck bed are from when I regretfully used it to move some furniture once.  You could paint the bed or purchase a bed liner, if you wanted this to be a show truck.  There are no dents in the bed.  There is no rust on the vehicle that I can find.  There are also no leaks that I am aware of.  I keep it parked in my garage.  I would not hesitate to drive this truck anywhere.  I drove it from Nashville to Seaside, FL and back last summer for a family vacation and it worked marvelously.  The engine runs well. 

I am not 100% positive that I want to sell this truck, and if the bids do not reach an acceptable level, I reserve the right to close the auction early, so BID EARLY if you are interested or I may just keep it.  

It is a gorgeous Victory Red.  It has the original Chevrolet rubber floor mats.  It has a 5.7 liter engine, automatic transmission, cold air, Panasonic CD AM/FM radio and is XM capable, tilt steering wheel, sliding rear window, power windows and power door locks.  It has an exterior cargo light, with a dash switch inside the cab.  The seats, carpet, and headliner are in great condition.

The General Grabber tires on this truck are almost new and have a ton of tread left.  It has a heavy duty bumper, capable for a maximum 4,000 lb. trailer load.  It has two trailer hitches in different sizes, and has an opening slot for a third trailer hitch.  The bumper can handle a tongue load of 400 lbs. max.  It has brand new front headlights and lens and turn signal lens.  It has a new water pump. 

I have had this truck for approximately 10 years and have enjoyed driving it.  I have not used it as a daily driver to work, it has been an extra vehicle for me, and used only when we needed to haul something.

This vehicle is 21 years old and looks amazing for its age, however it does have a few minor blemishes (see condition notes above.)  If I were to keep this vehicle, there are 2 primary things I would do are:  take the carburetor off and have it professionally cleaned and have the rotors turned.

Some info about this vehicle from the Chevrolet Silverado wiki page:  
This model is a fourth generation Chevrolet truck. The fourth generation was manufactured from 1988 to 2000.  Development of these trucks began around 1984 and were introduced in April 1987 as 1988 models (known as the GMT400 platform), there were eight different versions of the C/K line for 1988: Fleetside Single Cab, Fleetside Extended Cab, Fleetside Crew Cab, and Stepside Single Cab, each in either 2WD (C) or 4WD (K) drivelines. All C/K models would ride on independent front suspension. Three trim levels were available: Cheyenne, Scottsdale, and Silverado. Engines were a 160 hp (119 kW) 4.3 L V6, a 175 hp (130 kW) 5.0 L V8, a 210 hp (157 kW) 5.7 L V8 and a 6.2 L diesel V8. A 230 hp (172 kW) 7.4 L V8 was available in the 3/4-ton and one-ton trucks.  A drastic difference between the 3rd generation and 4 generation GM trucks was the suspension. The 4th generation GM trucks used all independent front suspensions (IFS).  
5.7 L V8:  Power:  190 hp (140 kW) @ 4000 RPM   Torque:  300 lb·ft (410 N·m) @ 2400 RPM
 
Good Luck and Bid Early if you want her!!

Least reliable cars and trucks of 2022

Tue, Nov 15 2022

Related: Most reliable cars and trucks of 2022   Every year, Consumer Reports ranks new cars based on their predicted reliability. We often see Toyota, Lexus, and a few other automakers near the top. But on the other side of the coin, the list of least reliable vehicles sometimes contains surprises.   The organization surveys its members to determine the vehicles that exhibited the most problems over the prior year. Owners are asked about creaks and rattles, the durability of parts and trim, and mechanical issues. Consumer Reports assigns a weight to each problem and then uses them to create a score, with 100 being the best. Some familiar names appear on the list of least reliable vehicles (in order with the lowest predicted reliability score at the top), but there are a few eyebrow-raising models, followed by CR's score: Ford F-150 Hybrid: 4 Hyundai Kona Electric: 5 Lincoln Aviator: 8 Nissan Sentra: 9 Ford Explorer: 16 Chevrolet Bolt: 17 Chevrolet Silverado 1500/GMC Sierra 1500: 19 Jeep Gladiator: 21 Mercedes-Benz GLE: 23 Jeep Wrangler: 24 Consumer Reports noted that sedans are the most reliable vehicle category and found that trucks are far lower on the list. That said, the survey showed that trucks from American brands tended to have better reliability scores, so it’s surprising to see GMÂ’s big two and the Ford F-150 on the list. Part of their problematic ownership experience could be due to the fact that all three trucks have received recent updates, and the Ford was completely redesigned for 2022. New tech, fresh drivetrain components, and other improvements can upset the balance of reliability and make newer models look less dependable than their older counterparts.

GM recalls 3.6 million vehicles for airbag-software problems

Fri, Sep 9 2016

The Basics: General Motors is recalling 3.64 million vehicles across its lineup for an airbag-related issue. The recall covers the 2014-2015 Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet SS, and Spark EV; 2014-2017 Chevrolet Corvette, Trax, Caprice PPV, Silverado 1500, Buick Encore, and GMC Sierra 1500; and 2015-2017 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado HD, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Sierra HD, Cadillac Escalade, and Escalade ESV. The Problem: Affected vehicles have a sensing and diagnostic module that controls the airbags and seat-belt pretensioners. The software it uses has a defect that can prompt the module to run a diagnostic test under specific driving conditions, which will also deactivate the front airbags and pretensioners. This means that it would be possible for those safety systems to not activate in a crash, potentially leading to injury or death. Injuries/Deaths: General Motors began an investigation that led to the recall after a 2014 Silverado was involved in a crash in which the airbags did not deploy. No information was given as to injuries or deaths. The Fix: Owners can bring their vehicles to a local General Motors dealer where a software update will be installed to fix the issue. The fix will be free of charge. If you own one: General Motors will contact owners of affected cars, and owners can check whether their vehicles are affected by visiting entering their vehicle identification numbers at either the GM Owner Center website or the NHTSA website. Owners can then schedule a time to have the update installed. Related Video:
