There's a bit of a story behind my sons truck so I'll cover it in a few posts. Being that my son was then 15 years old, I set out to acquire him a vehicle. I wanted a GMT400 platform because of the ease of maintenance and reliability as well as keeping the "cool" factor in mind. I've got a number of contacts who looked out for me and one of them paid off....big time. While my friend was in Nixon, Texas he spied exactly what I was looking for......a 1993 single cab 4.3 litre truck. Something that looked cool and wouldn't get him in trouble when he did get his drivers license.

The price tag was $2000 and I ended up getting her for $1500.

She was in pretty bad shape when we got her. Engine was firing on 4 out of 6 cylinders, front end was SHOT, transmission was puking fluid from the front. In short .....she needed A LOT of work. But.....my son and I set out on a venture to put her back on the road in the following two years that lie ahead. More coming.....

Can’t wait to see how it comes together! Also great to see another father/son build!

You got a great deal on that compared to prices I see around here. Looks like a good starting point, and I like that front end.
Thanks fellas. That was BEFORE the used car prices went through the roof. That same truck would've gone for 3 grand nowadays.
