Orig Owner 1992 Chevy short bed k1500 4x4 NV4500 grany low OvrDrv 4.3 new tires!

For sale is an extremely clean Original-California-ownerlow mile k1500 4x4 short bed pick up that the factory equipped with the vulnerable new venture 4500 (nv4500) transmission that is the holy grail of 4x4 gear boxes. This option was extremely rare on 1/2 tons and even more rare on a short bed v6! The nv4500 has an RPO code of MT8 which is shown in the glove box on the picture I've attached to this ad. This truck runs excellent. I've replaced a few things it needed which will be mentioned below. I would get in this and drive it to New York without any hesitation whatsoever. It doesn't leak one drop of fluid anywhere. Runs perfect, shifts perfect, 4x4 performs flawlessly, windows crank smoothly as they should. Doors do not sag (very common on this generation GM truck) and open/close with precision as if this truck has 100k miles less than it does.

Highlights:

--4 Brand new All-Terrain Mastercraft AXT tires in the stock 225/75r16 size. These tires are Made in USA--see pics. Truck drives down the highway extremely smooth. Steering is tight. Tires are balanced well. Pleasure to drive.

--4.3 TBI v6 runs perfectly with good power. It will get over 20mpg on the highway. The throttle body has been rebuilt. New cap, rotor, and spark plugs. Ignition timinghas been set. I compression tested the motor and it has 180 psi across the board which is incredible.

--nv4500 trans. Granny low and Overdrive. Holy grail trans. Shifts perfectly, leaks nothing. Get in and drive.

--Interior is near flawless. Floor is washout style and in perfect condition. Truck still has the original radio. Dashboard has some cracks.

--Suspension is tight and unmodified. Truck tracks down the highway perfectly at 70mph. Does not wander, sway, pull to either side, or bounce around. Pleasure to commute in. No issues.

--Brand new exhaust including California-compliant catalytic converter, dynomax high flow muffler that is nice and quiet, and 2.5" piping.

--CLEAN title and currentregistration in Ca until October 2017.

What it could use:

--Paint. Driver's side is actually not bad although has flaking of the 90s GM paint. Pass side is faded, has more flaking and not very presentable. If you want this truck to be "nice" you'll need to paint it. Doesn't bother me at all considering the overall shape of the truck, but the 90's GM paint was known to be awful and even though Orig Owner hand rubbed the paint weekly, it is starting to flake away.

--Air Conditioning system is all there but appears to be out of gas. A new compressor is $165 at Autozone so not an expensive repair.

--Brake rotors will need to be turned. Pedal has a small amount of pulsing under braking--not much and 0 concern while driving (does not need immediate attention) but want to be transparent in the ad--no surprises.

--Windshield has a couple rock chips, however,does not need replacement at this time.
