    Nice truck, but most anything on BaT is going to go for max $$$.

    BaT is a fun site....

    I kinda like the early interior more than the "Fisher Price" version for '95+. I'm also ok with being impaled by the steering column (no airbags) so there's that. '94 is my favorite year for Chevy though because you get the early interior with the facelifted front end.

    I'm surprised this one brought so much, even with a factory 14-bolt rear. Original 4L60e trans (with no service history?), wheels are in fair shape with obvious blemishes from weights, and non-original chrome trim on the wheel wheels. Mis-matched camper shell isn't helping either. Doesn't match the truck in color or design/style.

    That's kinda the point of the site! For the survivors, the rare, the unique, and the ultra-desirable.

    Colo and WY don't rust, maybe check out used cars there, fly out here and drive it home?

    I’ve spotted what appears to be my dream dump truck, but it is in Connecticut:(!
    Maybe buZZsaw BRAD can go check it out, write the check, load it up with some black locust and deliver it.
