Hello everyone!! Here is "Ole Red." I have owned her since I bought her brand new back in Aug 1997 in Oklahoma City, OK. She was my dream truck back in college in the early 1990's. She is a registered 1998 Chevy Truck "Legend" with 115,000 miles on her and has served me well pulling my boats, hauling general items and getting me to my favorite hunting locations over the last 23 years. Recently, I noticed she started getting a lot of surface rust on the frame and I accomplished a complete 7-month cosmetic restoration on her in 2019. She is now one of the finest original GMT400 Z-71 Regular Cab Silverado trucks in the country and is still used to haul and pull the boat, but only on sunny days. I will also be entering her into the occasional car and truck show where I am confident she will win some awards. Stay tuned as we get closer to the summer months. I will be posting multiple videos and slide presentations of the restoration process. For now, here is a link to a you-tube "Teaser" video showing her post-restoration as well as a few photos. Thanks--Dave

Great looking truck. Welcome to the forum. Now we know who to call on when we are trying to figure out what is "original". Some of our trucks have been messed with so many times that it is hard to tell what is original and what is not. Looks like you are driving a rolling reference !

Nice pickup! Very cool to be the original owner.

Your pickup is also my dream configuration from high school. White on blue interior would have been my pick, had I ordered it...and a 5 speed.
