Sweet sweet propane
Thought I would make a closed thread on my truck to show it off as well as help me keep track. You can ask me questions on my thread in Member Trucks right here!
When I got my learner's licence, my grandpa gifted me his 1988 GMC that I've been drooling over since I was a kid. They kept most of its early (until 1993) shop repair papers. They bought it brand new on Dec 12, 1987 as a 1988 GMC K2500 RCLB 5.7L 350 V8 with the 5 speed standard. The transmission was replaced under warranty at only 4,600kms (~2800 miles). In Feb of 1991 it was converted to propane; a popular thing to do in BC at the time.
When I first got it (337,000kms ~209,000 miles)
I proceeded to get right into it, painting and adding little odds and ends to make it look nice. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to repaint a lot.
