Aren't the big side windows standard on that body style?
I don't like red, but I def would take the red 92--looks mint! But without all the offroad doodads--except for the lift. Super nice.
Look at these 2 two doors

I agree with you. That red one is nice but remove all that other crap. The listed price of $5800 should go down a little because of that and then negotiate the end price down a bit. I notice he does not post mileage and that is always a red flag for me.

My guess in the low to mid 200's. Anything under that is a bonus.

Ron, looking at all these beautiful 2 doors--you're gonna make me buy one lol! But if I did, I'm taking a road trip near you. They're in beautiful condition!!

Yea, like I said many times before. There is no rust out here. I was in KC, Mo. and when I ran shops I always always always warned customers at my shops that rust can cause many problems and also add to labor times and parts replacement that may not even be the problem they brought the rig in for but broke trying to take apart. Any customer that said that would be my fault if it broke, I handed them their keys and said take it elsewhere. I always also said we would stop when we felt that the rust would be a problem and invite them back to the shop to see what we were seeing.
Go ahead and buy one. Come visit. Take you to the American Legion and get you a headache.
Would not hurt so bad driving home with a rust free rig.

There is a drive for you @Tonyrodz to the west coast. Go to Fisherman's Wharf for some great seafood, if you like that. I have eaten there many times years ago.
Or, call the guy with the red 1992 and see what he says and let me know.

Ha, I wish. As it stands right now I don't have a pot to piss in. Hopefully that'll improve.
There's nothing like the Prawns ar Fisherman's Wharf!

I was in the Navy during Vietnam. We were in a yard period at Hunter's Point for 6 months once and I went all over SF. I loved to eat at Tarantino's. I am a pasta fan and loved their spaghetti with their sauce and and shrimp meat in it with mushrooms. Sourdough bread and an ice cold beer was heaven to me. Died and went to heaven every time I ate there. I would not go there now with all the homeless crapping everywhere and the needles everywhere. That place is a cesspool now.

When I got out of the military in 95, I went to a Chevy dealership looking for a new truck. I remember seeing 2 of these 2 door Tahoe's on the dealer's lot. I really liked them and seriously considered buying one. But I also wanted a pick up too. Fortunately they had a leftover 94 Silverado with an extended cab, 4WD, tow package, and a 3:73 limited slip rear which was high on my list of priorities. Since it was a leftover, I got a killer deal and I passed on the 2 door Tahoe.
Even though I still own my pick up and it was a fantastic truck, there are times when I wish I had grabbed a 2 door Tahoe instead.

I had almost the same truck - a 93 Z71 - those TBI trucks are some of the best trucks GM ever built, heavy steel frames that really absorbed road harshness.

Believe it or not I still have it. I only live about 10 miles from my job and it was so dead nuts reliable that I never really saw a reason to replace it. It now has 203,000 miles and my kids use it to drive to school and work. They LOVE it.
The funny thing is that I have a 6.0 LS motor sitting on a pallet in my shed. Once my kids are done with the truck and are off to college, I'm going to redo my pick up and swap it to LS.

Those are both beautiful two doors. Coming from first hand experience these are incredibly nimble with an amazing turning radius and awesome braking... I've made a few ridiculous emergency stops. This along with a crazy off-the-line start...very responsive first gear.
It's got a design made for street and off-road performance.
They really need to re-boot it like the Ford Bronco next year.

I had the same experience with mine - it was drop dead reliable - always ran good and problems were simple fixes. Yours may never wear out!

I had a same body style 90 1/2 ton that I bought new and loved but that truck had a squeak on the passenger side under dash area or at the firewall that came on at about 12k miles and I searched and searched for and could not ever find and neither could the dealer. I got rid of it and bought a newer used truck that was rock solid, Chevy of course.

Heat shield over the bellhousing. The edge lightly scrapes the cab floor once the body bushings settle a fraction of a millimeter. Makes the squeak sound like it's in the dash, behind the gauges or radio. Takes 15 seconds to fix, 10 of those are sliding under the truck. Some S-series trucks had the same problem.

I wish I would have known that and I hoped that the techs at the dealer could have found that, but no we could not. The thing is though, I had someone drive the truck and I was on passenger side and the noise was all the way over there by the side, not behind gauges or radio. Water under the bridge now. Thanks.
