I'm Awesome
Hi Y'all,
Heres a pic of my 1994 silverado. I purchased this truck new in 94 with a 350, 5 speed, and 3.55 gears with a positraction center. I wanted a fully loaded truck i could stir my own gears with. As such she also has power windows, locks, cruise control, tilt wheel, and gage cluster with tachometer.
Always the faithful companion, she has seen me through a cross country move to a new job, a marriage, a divorce, a move to a new house, a second marriage. She has never failed to start, and has always done whatever was tasked for her to do. She has lots and lots of memories for me, and is a member of my family. I could never part with her.
She had been through a bad hailstorm, and parked with lots of miles, 4 bald tires, a leaking radiator, broken cruise control, and inoperative A/C. A newborn son and lots of other stuff i needed to spend cash on including an addition to my home meant she had to sit parked by the side of my house.
I have finally started repairing her. Working on sections or systems one at a time. This weekend i swapped out the dried out dash speakers for new pioneer units, installed a new kenwood CD mp3 memory stick player, as the old kenwood with 10 disc changer i put in 21 years ago finally died, changed out a faulty ignition lock cylinder, installed a new cruise control stick, some new brake and clutch pedal pads to replace the high mileage threadbare ones.
The paint is original, and shows good on the sides, the hood and roof that got thrashed from a hailstorm however not so much. I bought a steel goodmark cowl hood for it, and plan on priming, and edging it and putting it on soon, as well as sanding the roof down, using glue tabs to pop out most of the roof dents and repairing that too.
Also gonna hammer out the dents inside the bed smooth enough and get it rhino lined but thats awhile down the road.
Anyhow heres a few pix. One alongside my house, and one in the street after i cleaned her up a bit. After i cleaned up the engine compartment, and one with my little buddy keeping watch over "her truck" as i remove the old cd changer that was under the front seat. She has 13 years of memories of this truck too. My dog Sadie Girl has gone everywhere in this truck. When we go places she doesnt want to get out of the truck now. Just happy to curl up on the passenger side.
Friends meet Betsy !! She will likely be in my life till i die. I have a love of Mopar muscle cars, and a 67 barracuda i am rotisserie restoring, but as a faithful companion she has always been there, always willing to work and play. IMHO she is the best truck i could ever have. Thank you for looking at my thread, and reading our story.
