On Saturday, 1/22/2022, I took a United Airlines flight from Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas to Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in Little Rock, Arkansas. I then caught a Lyft to a small town on the outskirts of Little Rock to take delivery of a 1999 Chevrolet K2500 Crew Cab in Gold with the L31, MT1, and NP241. It had 298,255 miles upon me taking delivery, and yet, the general condition is actually better than most other K trucks I saw for sale on the net.
The mileage on the powertrain does not mean much to me, as I plan on dropping in a new L31 HD engine from GM Performance, then rebuilding the 4L80-E and NP241 myself.
The first thing I did when I brought it home was...park it. Yeah, because I was beat. It was about 7 1/2 hour drive from Arkansas to Houston, Texas. But, the K2500 made it all the way. Even with nearly 300,000 miles on it, that is a testament to the reliability of these trucks.
Next day I performed an inspection on it. Needs a decent amount of work, but I can’t wait to get started. Pics of work in progress to come.
One pic for now.
