Back in the day the extended cab Z-71's were the sh*t.

Yep, mine was bright turquoise. It was 3 years old and these trucks sold like hot cakes. I used to get the early Sunday edition of the local paper on Saturday night. I found the ad and called the guy about 9:30 and said I wanted to come get his truck. He said it was a little late so how about I be there at 8:30 am. I said I would be there and got there at 8 and while I was waiting for him to come out 2 more guys parked by his house. We took it for a test drive and by the time I got back at 8:45, there were EIGHT people waiting to get a chance at it. There was NO negotiating then. Pay the man and drive it home.
Representative pic, not my actual truck. All the pics I had of it were deleted when I got a new computer.

They were available in the 1500's. They are hard to find but they came in the 1/2 ton pickups as well as 2 & 4 door Tahoe as well. Same with the 6.2 before that.

One I wish I had back sometimes. A "2000" 3500 turbo diesel. GM held the 88-98 body over thru 2000 in the 3/4 & 1 ton.

Never heard of a turbo diesel in a 1/2 ton until the new introduction a few years ago and I've owned nothing but Chev's for 40 years...Only diesel I recall was the NA dog made from a 350 block in the 70's.
