The 241 is similar in design to the 208 but basically more stout in every way.

The newer K5 you can get the better but as long as you get a fuel injected ('87 up) truck you'll be good.

I have a '91 with TBI and love it, but watch out for rust on these things!!!! Check the rockers and crawl under it and check the crossmembers for the floor, also check where the seatbelts mount to the floor and b pillar, only thing that was holding my seatbelts in was some rust and the carpet!!! Tailpans rust out bad under the tailgate really bad also. You would have never thought mine was as bad as it was, wasn't until we started poking with a screw driver that we found it all. Mine only had some rust bubbles on the rockers, but it was shot, almost like it rusted from the inside out. These are great trucks just do your homework before you buy... There's some rust free ones down south guys pick up cheap still, find a rust free one and you'll save yourself time and money down the road.
