Chris, you oughta take pics of the steps involved.  I am curious.  The worst part probably is dropping the tank to get to it. I hope you don't have a full tank.

I've seen a few blazers and burbs where someone just cut a hole in the rear floor to get to the pump.

I'm jealous of all you guys with less than 100K miles on your oldies...But for being at 148K miles, my truck isn't rusting TOO bad!

Actually I do plan to take pictures.  If I can swing it I may take some video.

I know this is an old thread  but I dont post much on  here ....my 87 Silverado  has 407,000 miles original drivetrain completely ! It was my uncles personal truck for his construction comp. for 10 years..... then it got cycled into the mix as a lumber/work truck for another 10/12 years ... I bought it from him for 500.00 and traded a new lumber rack , I have replaced the battery , alternator..of thing that had to be replaced....the rest I did cuz i wanted to ...... paint , scavenged interior from a 89 Sub trim pieces from EVERY WHERE...... tires and wheels from Craigslist 200.00 still runs very good  more reliable than my wifes 97 Sub , with double  her miles !!!! the truck is all original aside from the suburban interior ....

Just goes to show, that they will run forever. My 78 K10 had 131.000 on it when I sold it. The 86 C20 had about 245 thousand when it throwed a rod out of the old 305.

Don't exactly know what my '77 C 10 has, it says 28,500 and I figure to add 200K to it. My '04 Monte has 110,000 after many trips to NH and back to VA.

My 79c20 has 63xxx original miles on the truck, and the engine has about 2000 miles on it. The truck sat for ten years before I bought it. The title/registration from 10 years ago says 30xxx. (: arizona truck with AZ rust (slight surface rust). Just an amazing truck. The front suspension was replace about 15 years ago, as it was a work truck and I'm sure it saw a lot of abuse on work roads. And, I think, not sure, but THINK it still has original drums, shoes, rotors, and pads.

My 82 K10 had 38,xxx on it until I swapped the gauge cluster. Now it only has 11,xxx. It's all original except for the motor, trans, t-case, axles, steering column, interior, fuel tanks, front clip and doors. ;D

112k on my 84. Original drivetrain front to back. I've done the body work, paint, and changed both gas tanks but nothing mechanically has been changed.
