I had a 94 Chevy C1500 W/T. Being the base model, it had the 4.3V6 and 5 speed manual. Engine and tranny were great. It had plenty of power empty, and got about 23 miles to the gallon if I kept my speeds down. Pulling a load, you felt the weight though. No big deal, just don't be in a hurry.

Unfortunately for me, this was about all that was good with the truck. I was wrought with electrical problems, poor assembly problems (rattles). The final straw for that truck was when several welds started to fail on the truck, causing expensive structural repairs to be necessary. I dumped it at the Dodge dealership at that point. The truck was never wrecked.
