Engine rebuilt, lifters were knocking, previous owner ran without oil.
Transmission rebuilt.
Fuel pump replaced.
Rear end replaced.
All this after 200,000 miles.
The gas mileage, even for a 4.3 liter standard shift is really bad. Roughly 18 mpg.
The ride is smooth even for a short-bed pickup.
I agree with you I puchased a 1989 Chevy Cheyenne and I love the truck. It's in excellent condition just have to repaint the fenders but that its. They are nice trucks and drive just perfect.
