96-1500
Bluenoser
So as you may or may not know, my old baby bit the dust a few days ago. It was a '96 k1500 rclb, 350 auto. Developed a bad bottom end knock and I decided that I'm not going to put an engine into a truck with a bad frame.
So, this '96 k2500 came along. Picked her up for $1200 which is hard to beat.
Specs:
'96 Cheyenne extended cab long box
5.7 litre Vortec with K&N intake
4L80-E, 14 bolt rear with 4.10 gears
4x4, but otherwise no options except AC.
Dual in single out dynomax exhaust
265/75R16 Kelly Safari TSRs with good tread
244'000km
Needs:
E-brake cable
Front bumper (installed today, need to get new/better pics)
Dr. side fender (came with truck, need to install)
Back bumper (will rob off old truck)
Tailgate (robbed off old truck)
Seat
Body work and paint job
Some other minor odds and ends
So here's some crappy cell phone pics. I'll get more soon, and will update with what I'm doing to the truck. She's a bit more difficult to park than my old half ton lol, give me 40 acres and I'll turn this rig around...
Drove it home today, works really good so far. About 100km of driving, worked great, handles great, way better than my old truck. Haven't calculated mileage yet but it didn't seem that bad. We'll see.
Sorry about the picture quality. More to come.
