Enjoy the drive and tell your mom “hello”.

WOW. To get a GM product that old with those few miles on it is awesome!

Drive it. It is meant to be driven. Nothing less than 20 years old can compare.

It’s not hot out yet so you’ll make it just fine. As others have said, bring a tool kit, some coolant and duct tape, zip ties and it’ll be alright.

The 55 MPH speed limit was abolished when President Reagan was in office. Reagan was long gone when the 1991 Chevy trucks came out.

Appears we are both a little off.
It was raised to 65mph in 1987. But it wasn't abolished until 1995.

My '94 K1500 was the gold standard of all of the trucks I've owned. I sent it to the next owner with 325000 miles on it. For the OP's truck I would take a serious look at anything rubber, hoses, belts, seals. Those deteriorate over the years and need attention.

Don't forget vacuum lines. Those things get brittle as can be.

Of you're gonna run a long road trip, Lucas Oil fuel system treatment might not hurt, good chance to clean the gunk out of the injectors

Check the date code on the tires. There will be an oblong oval with four numbers in it. The first two numbers will be the week and the last two will be the year.
