'93 K1500 Sportside Z71 — 5.7L, Five-Speed Manual, G80 Posi, 99K Miles

1993 Chevrolet K1500 Silverado Extended Cab Sportside 4x4 in Dark Blue Green Metallic over two-tone blue cloth. Factory Z71 Off Road package, 5.7L (350) V8, five-speed manual transmission, 3.42 rear with G80 Posi limited slip. The odometer reads 98,995 miles.

Built April 29, 1993 at the Oshawa, Ontario plant. The combination of extended cab, Sportside (stepside) bed, 5.7L, five-speed manual, and Z71 is genuinely uncommon — most of these trucks left the factory with the automatic and the fleetside bed. A manual-transmission Sportside Z71 was always an enthusiast's checkbox combo, and it doesn't show up often anymore.

The Z71 package brings the off-road shocks, skid plates, and heavier-duty suspension. Inside, it's the YE9 Comfort & Decor trim level: cloth 60/40 split-bench front seat (Easy Entry), fold-down rear bench in the extended cab area, deep-tint rear glass. Air conditioning, tilt, cruise, power windows, power locks, and the leather-wrapped sport steering wheel are all there and present well. A portable aftermarket cupholder caddy sits between the seats — not bolted in, goes with the truck.

Outside, it has chrome front grille, stainless-steel below-eyeline mirrors, Z71 Off Road graphics on the bedsides, gold CHEVROLET tailgate lettering, chrome bumpers, color-keyed wheel flares with stainless trim, and vent visors all around. The truck sits on eight-hole black-and-machined aluminum wheels with raised white letter all-terrain tires.

The GMT400 truck market has gone from used to collectible over the last several years, and clean extended-cab Sportside Z71 trucks with the five-speed are in the sweet spot of that demand. This one is a real driver — body, paint, and interior all present well for the mileage.
