Odd that it is Silverado badged yet has a vinyl seat and rubber floors. That truck just throws up a few flags to me, especially at that price tag. I'd cruise past it and never give it a second thought.

Most trucks around here at this age have rusted cab corners but perfect rockers and doors etc. Heck the '87 I have now we did cab corners and that was the only rust on the entire truck. We are not in the rust belt here but for sure get rain, and that is what got the cab corners on the squares.

No where near the holy grail truck, that transmission is in a LOT of squares, probably more than the 700R4. Sorry, but I see a $2500 truck there at best. To quote Keith, "there are no rare squares".
