300,000 miles on my old 1999 Chevy Silverado. Been driving this old girl for 16+ years. She's not much to look at but it gets me down the road. grin

Looks in similar condition to my '97. Same rusted out cab and bed mounts so it looks smooshed. Engine still purrs and the tranny works alright besides needing warmed up to go in reverse. 350k on it so you still have lots of life in yours.

Its a shame our salt eats them away like that. Otherwise no reason to ever buy another truck again. Cheap parts, easy to work on, and reliable. You can't beat 'em.

Yeah, the cab mounts are gone. Top of bed is tight against the cab. I'm used to the squeaks and funny noises she makes. My wife won't ride in it unless she has to. smile

I agree Michigander, the salt on our roads eats up vehicles so fast. You Southern guys are lucky you don't have to deal with metal eating salt on your trucks. frown
