I think that'* about it. It is the biggest piece of junk I've ever owned. I'll never buy another Chevy pickup.
Bought it in Jan., 2004 with 91,000 miles. Now has 132,000 miles. I hate it. I have too much in it to get rid of it....at this point. Hopefully the rust and paint peeling will get bad enough that I can justify selling it for a FORD.

How bad can it get?.....
That was my first attempt to build a street/strip 3rd Gen Camaro. It was a 1985 V6 Sport Coupe that I traded a clapped out '84 Fiero for. It wasn't until I got the car stripped down to this level that I found out the car had been sectioned. It was 1" shorter on the passenger side compared to the driver'* side and twisted to boot.
I practiced shooting paint on it, stripped it of every salvageable part, then sent the uni-body to the scrap yard. (Bought the '87 Camaro currently in the Nuking thread a week later)
