I might be trading my 97 Sierra z71 ecsb for a 95 silverado rcsb z71. Both have 350's with an auto trans, 97 has push button 4wd which I don't like and the 95 has a manual t case which I do prefer... Beside the fact that the 95 has a lot of 1 year only parts, is there anything I should look out for on this truck?

I have a 95 rcsb z71 as well! 95 didn't have the vortec 350 tbi, those started in 96. Can you take the 50hp hit? Also, it is pre OBD2, its pretty mich the same engine that's in your 88 scottsdale and your 1990 silverado in your sig. Other than that make sure the ball joints in the front are good, the transfercase shifts good, give a tug on the front cv shafts and make sure they don't move.
