There’s something appealing about finding an older pickup that hasn’t accumulated a lifetime’s worth of miles, and this 1991 Chevrolet V3500 certainly fits that description. Listed on eBay by a private seller, this blue 4×4 shows just 28,890 miles and comes with a clean title. The seller describes it as a rare, original, low-mileage truck and says it has spent its recent years living a decidedly easier life.
Under the hood is a 5.7-liter gasoline V8, backed by an automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. Beyond those basics, the seller doesn’t provide much mechanical detail, so there’s no need to speculate about what may or may not have been done over the years. The mileage is undoubtedly one of the big talking points here. The eBay listing shows 28,890 miles, and the seller describes the truck as a low-mileage example. For enthusiasts shopping older pickups, a claimed mileage figure like that is certainly going to warrant a closer look at the truck and its history.
There is a little confusion in the seller-provided information that prospective buyers will want to clarify. The general vehicle description says the truck has been “updated with a new drivetrain,” but the seller’s own notes and vehicle details describe it as rare and original. Since no specifics about a replacement or updated drivetrain are provided, that discrepancy is something worth asking about rather than drawing conclusions from the listing. The seller also describes the Chevrolet as a one-owner truck, although they then state that they have owned it for more than five years. According to the ad, it came from Utah and is now located in Wisconsin. Since acquiring it, the current seller says the truck has been kept in a climate-controlled garage. Its use during that time has apparently been pretty light as well. The seller says it has mainly been used for car shows, which would be consistent with the unusually low indicated mileage and the way the truck is being presented.
Visually, the V3500 is finished in blue. The listing doesn’t provide a lengthy rundown of the body, paint, interior, chassis, or recent maintenance, so those are areas buyers would need to investigate for themselves. What we do know from the ad is that this is a gasoline-powered V8 truck with an automatic transmission, four-wheel drive, a clean title, and 28,890 miles showing. Sometimes an interesting classified doesn’t need a huge list of modifications or a lengthy restoration story. An older 4×4 Chevrolet pickup showing fewer than 30,000 miles is enough to get an enthusiast’s attention on its own.
For someone who likes these trucks, the next step would be digging into the documentation and sorting out the listing’s conflicting statements regarding originality, ownership history, and the mention of an updated drivetrain. Assuming those questions have satisfactory answers, this 1991 Chevrolet V3500 could be an intriguing survivor to inspect in person.
This is a beautiful truck. I love this style.
This, without a doubt, would be my forever truck. Built in a time when trucks were trucks. Not couches with built in screens.
I see huge lift blocks in rear maybe that’s the new drive train
Kinda strange, 41 pictures on eBay but none of the engine 🤔 too many assumptions about the drivetrain. Looks like the drivers door is misaligned since the paint is wore off on the bottom, my 69 Ford isn’t missing any paint in that area and it’s alot older.
There are more pictures at the bottom of the description, including a couple showing the engine.

One ton 4wds plenty tall from the factory 🏭
Air Force truck? The chrome moldings are from an ’81-87 or so, not original and it’s the right color.
Exactly what I would guess. I have too many questions about this one.
Too far from me. Someone in Wisconsin or wherever can have all the fun figuring out what is correct and what is incorrect.
Seems to have new gas tank as well. Hard to believe a truck with so few miles needed a new tank
That’s not a 1991.
VIN character “M” indicates that it’s a 1991. Crew/Bonus cabs and Blazer/Suburban used the old body through 1991.
Nice truck!!
Stock would have been fine with me. Cheyenne trim is purposeful. Sure is a lot less to go wrong with this one.
No cracked, bent or broken chassis on these trucks.
I owned a 1984 K10 in that color. Fun truck.
…forget about putting it in the garage.
IMO this guy is a strategic picture taker/car salesman.
Careful rattle canning in flat black
Many things show extensive age/wear.
Why can’t people be completely honest anymore?
It’s had bodywork done as well.
It’s not as clean when looked at closely.
New drivetrain is probably wheels and tires……..
And no pictures of under the hood
I don’t think these ever came with high-arch springs front and rear, nor did they ever come with lift blocks in the rear. Looks like a great truck, but in several regards it isn’t original. It would be nice to know the back story behind this one.
I learned something new here today and I’ve owned several Square Body 2wd and 4wd. When I saw V3500 it threw me off. I had always that in Square Body trucks it was C on 2wd and K on 4wd. I’ll be darned.
