I saw this ‘92 K1500 while cruising around with a friend this past sunday. It caught my eye, and I just had to look at it. First of all, this is like my perfect truck. A black K1500 with the standard cab/ short bed combo, 350 TBI, and a 5 Speed (I’d be fine with an auto, but manuals in trucks are just so fucking cool). Secondly, its the cleanest C/K I’ve ever seen. Seriously, the body is 99% rust free, and the underbody is super clean by C/K standards as well. Obviously, I don’t know how it runs or shifts, but I want it SO BADLY.

The issue? The dealership is OUT OF THEIR FUCKING MINDS. Like, seriously, who the fuck do they think is going to pay $6.5K for a 23 year old truck with almost 200,000 miles? If there was a chance in hell of getting a reasonable price on it, I’d be interested. But that just won’t happen :/

Anyways, check it out. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

That is a super clean k1500. They’ll get at least 6000 for it. Especially with it being so clean in the rust belt

If the drivetrain’s condition is anything like the rest of the truck, I’d heartily agree. Nice find, especially for Michigan.

No joke, my dad had a ‘90 that looked just like this but with a red interior (I think), manual too. Too bad some fucks stole it out of his work lot and blew the engine trying to drive over a Cadillac or I’d probably be driving it right now!

Really? I’ll be damned. I guess I underestimate the C/K market.

The red interior makes it even cooler, in my opinion! But that’s unfortunate as hell. People suck. That would have been way cooler than the Safari, haha.

That really isn’t a great example, the 90 454ss are the least desirable. The 91-94’s came with a 4 speed auto, the 90’s only had a 3 speed. They don’t go for as much as the later trucks.

Well shit. I’d still rather have the rarer sporty model though.

I know I am being that guy right now but, I love these trucks and I have spent way too much time dorking out on them.

Depending on how you look at it 90’s are the most common. I don’t remember the exact numbers but, they made about 18,000 of these trucks from 90-94. In 1990 the sold around 13,000 the other three model years accounted for the other 5,000ish. But 1990 was the only year with the 3-speed so it is a 1 year only model.

I see your K1500 and raise you a 454SS with...ahem...low mileage:

....take a good look at that odo. Yours for $40k, and holy fuck all my wants. If I had the money, I'd buy it in a heartbeat!

Love the city and highway mileage. Not sure why they even bothered posting them

Holy shit, is that 7.2 miles on the odo???? That’s a hefty price, no doubt, but the want is way strong.

Hefty price.....but you get a brand new 1990 454SS

Oh, don’t get me wrong, if I had the cash for it, it would be mine. No doubt there.

I just want to take this time to say that in 2015 a 3 speed sounds awful. The majority of my cars have been 4spds but no overdrive?! Damn.
