1994 Chevrolet K1500?

[PolarisRider]

Ok so heres the deal. My uncle has a 1994 Chevy 1500 truck for sale. 68,000 miles, driven maximum of 2 miles to work and back each day. 305 V8. Has a little bit of rust on the fenders. Besides the very small amount of rust it is mint. He said he'll let it go to me for around $3000. How good are those trucks on gas? By good I mean will it get 14-15? I know thats what the 350's in those truck get around. Or is that 305 a little underpowered for this truck? Should offer him less than $3000? It's my first vehicle so this is about as good as it gets I think.

i have a 93 chevy 1500 with the 350 and an automatic, and with the tires i have on it im only gettin between 8-10 around town. but im not exactly the easiest on it either.

[ECOR#8]

is it 4 wheel drive? if so then for the mileage and everything id say that $3000 is a good deal, the 305 shouldnt be too underpowered

I'm in a totally different environment then you but make sure you really check it for rust. I have a 95, it's got the 4.3 v6, and when I got it it just had a tiny bit of rust around the passenger front fender and after the first winter about 3 inches of the fender rotted up, the lower corners behind the doors of the cab rusted out.

A 305 would probably be fine, my 4.3 wasn't too bad, it wasn't good though and I took it easy on it for the most part... Now it's dead though... rotting away in the yard.

68,000miles yeah i think thats a good price. i just got a 85 dodge w150 it has the 5.2(318) v-8 and so far i got 13mpg its only a camp truck so i dont care. i think i'll stick with my diesel:D

The rust is around the driver's front fender and the passenger's rear fender. Not much at all, being as it sat outside all its life.

Yeah its a 4WD.

I had a '94 with the 350. Regular cab and stepside box and i averaged around 16-17 all around. I miss that truck!
