Now THAT is Chevy Tough!


Frank Oresnik is getting ready to retire his 1991 Chevy Silverado truck-not because it is giving him any problems-but because the truck is a mere 1200 miles away from the odometer hitting the 1 Million Mile mark!
Oresnik purchased the used pickup in 1996 when it had just 41,000 miles on it and he then he drove it for approximately 85,000 miles a year in his business,delivering seafood over an area of 3 states.The truck has been through four radiators, three gas tanks, five transmissions and six water pumps over the last 12 years but still has the original engine which has never been overhauled.Oresnik attributes the longevity of his pickup to regular oil changes and tuneups over the years and I have to agree with him on that point-a vehicle treats you as good as you treat it.
General Motors oughtta use this guy and his reliable Chevy truck for a TV ad!
