I have a '99 Silverado Z71 for sale. Extended cab with the third door and a shortbed. LS trim level with cloth interior, split front bench (seats 6), PW, PL, cruise, CD player, stuff like that. The body has 183K on it. The engine has been replaced at some point, but it has a bad cam (pitted lobe and very noisy lifter) and low oil pressure. The low oil pressure is because the PO never changed the oil and it had grit in it from the pitted cam/lifter. The engine runs very well still, I have put about 1K on it in the last couple weeks. The transmission was rebuilt (with upgraded parts) by a reputable trans shop less than 3K ago, still under warranty. The truck drives and stops well. Tires are a little less than 50%, but they are all worn evenly. Four wheel drive works, I just used it last week when it snowed. Windsheild is cracked on the passenger side. Interior is pretty good, it's that kinda gray, kinda tan color. Minor stains in the carpet, no torn upholstery. Like all of these trucks around here, the rockers are rusty and there are rust bubbles above the rear wheels.
I also have a 5.3 long block that goes with the truck. It has 90K on it, with a brand new GM camshaft and timing set, all new gaskets, new head bolts, and a new set of lifters. The heads are still off, for buyer's inspection (the piston's face tells if it's a 4.8 or 5.3 motor). The shortblock is assembled.
The price, including the 5.3 motor is $3800. KBB shows the truck's value as well over 5K, and that's not taking into consideration the rebuilt/upgraded trans and lower mile engine. Buy this truck, spend a Saturday installing the replacement engine, then end up with a good truck for far less than book value. Or just drive it as-is and keep the oil changed regularly.
The truck is located in central Ohio.
