1998 GMC K1500

[smithcody2012]

New to this forum, this is also my first post. Feel free to comment and ask questions. I lost several of my pictures from the first stages unfortunately
I bought this 1998 GMC K1500 in 2011 or 2012 cant remember, from an older gentleman who used it to pull a travel trailer in Wyoming until he moved to Texas. I am the second owner, had 122,000 miles when I bought it. However the engine had a severe knock.
Luckily I had a 350 crate with flat tops and vortec heads from another truck. So for $800 bucks I fell in love with her!!
Stock items
350
nv3500 5 speed

Here's how she looked when I went to pick her up.

I like them mainly for when your not using them they are close to factory.
