Swede
Newbie
Hello!
I am new to this board and would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself.
My name is Henrik and I live in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. I work with car parts and live in an appartment in the central parts of the city.
My truck is an GMC Sierra 1500 4x4 1996 6.5 Turbodiesel. I purchased it mainly for towing, altough we tow significally smaller trailers than you guys do over there.
The previous owner imported this truck to Sweden from Canada in 2004 and I bought it directly from him in January 2013. This type of truck is quite rare over here and it sure turns a lot of heads when driving it in the city.
It is equipped with leather, power seats, power windows, bullbar, bugshield, two huge driving lights, bedliner and a colourmatched fiberglass loadcover.
It is my first truck, my main interest is restoring and working with old Volvo's, I have quite a few.
Since we have quite cold winters over here I plan to equip the truck with an onboard dieselfueled parking heater with callstart.
Further plans include restoring the amber glow in the front turning signals, to use as "driving lights", which actually is illegal in Sweden.
I sense that you like most message board junkies really like pictures, so I'll post a few just to keep you happy!
Here it is, attached do the horse box
With my buddy's GMC Sierra 6.5 Turbodiesel from 1994
With a borrowed trailer, will eventually afford my own trailer one day, loaded with a Volvo 240.
With the horseboxes and the quad.
Regards Henrik
