96-1500
Bluenoser
1996 Chevrolet K2500 extended cab long box
Cheyenne trim, manual windows, locks, transfer case, basic 60/40 bench, blue interior
Vortec 5.7
4L80E
14 bolt SF 8-lug rear
4.10s
Approx. 244'000 kms when purchased.
Stock. Had a crappy "cold air intake", dual straight pipes to a Y, into a single Dynomax with stock tailpipe and slashed tip. Tires are 265/75R16 Kelly Safari TSR and came on the truck, with a matching spare.
Bought it and drove it home on September 11th 2012, to replace my 1996 K1500 that had a broken frame and spun a bearing.
First pictures I saw of it:
Got it home, yanked the boxliner and put a rubber mat in I had:
Removed the half-built push bumper godawful mess the P.O. *welded* (I kid you not) to the frame with a chrome smoothie I had kicking around, and yanked the rusted out driver's side fender (passenger side had already been replaced):
Fender and bumper installed:
Fender flares put on the front, and a proper license plate bracket:
Tailgate off my old truck
Straightened front bumper and installed towhooks
Removed stickers the previous owner had on almost every window, painted the top sides of the box and installed the custom backrack off my old truck:
Done a couple really minor mechanical repairs (oil cooler lines, alternator, fuel pump, which cost me a grand total of $7.80. It's great to have parts trucks at your disposal).
