Hi I'm Gavin and I have an OBSession
Ah! This weekend. Sometimes I don’t remember half the things I did so I have to look back at the photos on my phone and this weekend was one of those times!
Friday:
I looked at the cone truck and I wanted to see if I could make the cone conveyor work, so I started looking around trying to trace wires, and under the truck the only wires were running to the brake lights. So I continued to look around, and looked in the little side boxes of the truck and discovered that the belt is moved via this little hydraulic thing. However someone took the actual pump so it won’t work. I’m not going to put any effort into making it work mainly because it’s just throwing money at something that won’t do me any good. I Tried selling the bed off the truck for $200 just to see if anyone was interested, with zero interest so it appears that I will be taking it to scrap.
Saturday:
Nothing crazy – ended up putting Tyler’s 06 Mazda 3 back together since we did a clutch in it.
Sunday:
This is what I’m excited about! I went to go “look” at that 94 c2500 RCLB 6.5/nv4500 and well, like usual, I bought it. For $350. I paid for it but I still need to get a car trailer and go get it at some point this week. It’s an ex Q&D Construction truck with… 398K on the odometer! Pretty insane. I didn’t even try messing with it really, just because I wanted to pay for it since he didn’t know what he had (nv4500). This truck is decked out with all the Sierra SLE options for the year too. Also has a gooseneck hitch which I thought was sweet. Hopefully all it needs is a turbo so I can throw one on it and drive it!
The truck is kind of clean for 400k. The front fenders are both trash though. I originally wanted the truck just for that transmission but everyone is pushing me to leave it as it is, and because it was a former company truck (Q&D) and my friend Tyler works for them, our joke is to make this thing run and he would drive it to work once just to see how his coworkers would react to Q&D finally giving him a company truck. Also has a turnover gooseneck hitch, kind of nice!
I’m starting to have a hard time identifying trucks these days, I have enough to start numbering them and calling it a fleet. I still do not know what it is with me and 1994 model trucks with a 6.5 like I don’t ever end up with any other year of truck. I don’t even try it’s just what I end up with for cheap and this 94 6.5 is truck number 5.
This truck combo is kind of a rare one - decked out SLE RCLB C2500. According to compnine there were 1,661 trucks with a 6.5 for 1994, and 3,078 trucks with a 5 speed in RCLB C2500 fashion.
Also tried messing with the transmission limp mode issue on the white ex cab 6.5 with no luck. Dang it lol
So that’s it for now. Need my car trailer
