1993 Chevrolet K1500 4X4 Extended Cab Pickup – A Low-Mileage Legend with Z71 Off-Road Heritage

By 1993, the Chevrolet K1500 had already carved out a reputation as one of the most dependable full-size pickup trucks on the market. Part of Chevrolet’s GMT400 series—known among enthusiasts today as the “OBS” (Old Body Style)—this model blended modern engineering with rugged practicality. The K1500 4X4 was especially beloved for its durability, off-road capability, and sheer work ethic. Offered in multiple trim levels and configurations, the 1993 edition stood out with refined comfort features and continued popularity among those needing a go-anywhere utility vehicle.

This particular 1993 Chevrolet K1500 4X4 Extended Cab Pickup is a standout time capsule with only 50,458 actual miles and a remarkably preserved appearance. Finished in its original Code WA8555 Black paint, the exterior retains its factory luster and character, a rarity for vehicles of this era. Complementing the classic black finish is a Code 47I red interior, creating a striking color combination that feels both retro and rich in personality. Inside, the cabin is all original and in superb condition, including factory bucket seats, a center console, and exceptionally well-preserved gauge needles—some of the best seen, according to the PC Classic Cars team.

Under the hood is a 5.7L TBI 350 V8 engine, matched to a 700R4 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission. This drivetrain pairing delivers smooth power delivery with legendary reliability. The truck is equipped with power front disc brakes, power steering, and factory air conditioning that still blows cold. Adding to its off-road credibility is the coveted Z71 package, which includes Bilstein shocks, a front sway bar, and auto-locking hubs paired with a New Process 241C transfer case. The exhaust remains in near-original condition with stock manifolds, a catalytic converter, and dual tailpipes for a subtle but confident note.

The exterior retains original trim and bumpers, and even the wheel moldings and applique show well. There are light scuffs and minor touch-ups—entirely consistent with its age—but the body tells the story of careful stewardship. Rolling on 16" OEM wheels wrapped in Cooper Discoverer AT3 265/75R16 tires, this truck maintains the classic 90s stance and capability.

Inside the cab, drivers will find a full suite of features: power windows and locks, intermittent wipers, tilt steering, cruise control, and a Premier AM/FM cassette radio with a 6-disc CD changer. While the seats are manual, the ergonomics and build quality speak to GM’s solid design of the era. All systems function as they should—from the tachometer and speedometer to the heater, A/C, and radio, as confirmed during PC Classic Cars’ inspection.

Underneath, the chassis tells a clean story. Light, age-related corrosion is noted, but the undercarriage confirms the truck’s genuine 50K-mile status. This vehicle remained registered in Colorado for its entire life according to the CarFax, passing regular emissions tests and receiving consistent maintenance—including numerous oil changes at local service centers and Chevrolet dealerships.

Additional highlights include:

• Drop-in bedliner and aftermarket bed cover

• Tinted windows

• Stock style muffler and crossover pipe

• Dual tailpipes

• Clean CarFax with no accidents or damage

• Matching numbers engine and documented original paint

This 1993 K1500 is not just a well-maintained example of a beloved pickup—it’s a rolling reminder of Chevrolet’s ability to blend rugged engineering with long-term reliability. It’s rare to find a fourth-generation owner truck this clean, documented, and original in today’s market.
