1989 Chevrolet Truck C30 (1 ton) review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission problems (only been pulling a 3,000 lb trailer). Only has 50,000 miles so far.
General comments?
Want a real truck get a Ford or Dodge. Going from Ford/Dodge Truck to Chevrolet Truck is like going from fine shrimp to a can of tuna. Built on a car frame & suspension! Sad power for a big-block V8. Bed is spot welded to frame. 1 ton Chevy is same as 3/4 ton Ford/Dodge, 3/4 ton Chevy is same as 1/2 ton Ford/Dodge & so on (I would hate to think about what an S10 could do). Okay for second car only.
