i had a 97 2door 2wd 4.3L. the thing ran like a champ. the 4.3L is a strong motor. gas mileage is nothing to write home about, but wasn't terrible. i got mine when it was 2 years old. i drove it for 3 years. didn't have any mechanical issues until 150k miles when i traded it in for my jeep. one thing you will learn to hate is the interior panels rattle like crazy. some dampening will certainly be in order.
i put a dynomax exhaust and a 2" body lift and 30s on mine.
i wouldn't hesitate for a second to buy one. solid, tough, strong running truck. take care of it and it will do the same for you.
