Hi I'm Gavin and I have an OBSession
So.... here I go yet again...
(it's a 1993 not a 1992, my bad!)
Next door on the other side of my friend Tyler's house is this fella who is old and retired, and there has been this RCLB sitting next door to the house, and yesterday he came over to ask Tyler about picking up this bed frame thing, so I was with him and asked about this truck.
He said "give me a price" I said $200, he said "How about $250 and you put that rack on my other truck" and I'm like deal! So I **** you not 15 minutes later I was back with $260 and he even gave me change back.
So this guy is the original owner and bought it new, the MSRP was $13,585 and really the only option I saw that it had was an automatic transmission and a cheap headliner. The truck has 160k on the clock, and was parked in 2008 after the transmission was ruined from not having an oil & filter change. He said the truck was a good truck and he would still be driving it if the tranny didn't go.
He used it for his landscaping business in Napa County, CA and then eventually lived in Reno and used it there before moving to Doyle. This thing had just passed Washoe county smog in 2008 before the transmission went.
This is my first regular cab, first five lug truck, and first V6 truck I have ever owned. And it's about as base as you can get, it even has manual floor vents below the steering column which I didn't even know was an option on these things! I believe I saw GU6 in the glove box so I'm guessing it has 3.42 gears.
I've tossed around a few ideas, first was parting it which would make me feel bad because the guy next door would see a truck he purchased new be turned into a bare frame, second was prerunner it but I have too many projects, or three, fix it.
So I am going to find a transmission for it (4L60) and install, give it a good cleaning and a paint job, smog it then sell it. I think that is the best course of action for this, that way I don't feel bad gutting it and I can drive it around in Doyle for a bit. Even the tires are good!
The rack is coming off the back and going on his other truck, it's a 99-02 c1500 with a 4.3 as well, just as base as this truck but a NBS!
I figured this won't be a thread that will last forever and be momentary, but I figured I would share this mainly because it has a story behind it and the dude bought it new.
PS: Started uploading images to imgbb, hopefully they don't pull a photobucket and f* up everyone's photos like they have to mine.
