Hey Everybody! Just wanted to introduce myself and wish everyone a Happy New Year. My name is Hayley and I'm living in Idaho, for now. I just bought a 95 K2500 8 lug, extended cab, 5.7L TBI, white with blue interior and only 109k miles. I've loved these OBS trucks since I was a kid and have always wanted one. My dad had an 87 K1500 regular cab growing up. I know quite a bit about vehicle maintenance and repair but not as much when it comes to trucks/large vehicles specifically (lifts, tire sizes, suspension, etc). I've mainly worked on and owned Toyota and Honda cars. I recently finished completely redoing the front end of my 08 Acura RDX(also new to me). Now, I'm ready to start working on the Chevy. Already bought a bunch of parts for it but waiting for it to be above 40 degrees and some sunshine to get working. So far I have only pulled out some ghetto rigged stereo wiring, partially detailed the interior, replaced the gas cap, took off the ugly hood deflector, fixed the windshield washer, put some all weather floor mats and pulled off the front cowl to start investigating/fixing the notorious water on passenger side floorboard issue. Priorities will be replacing the rear drum brakes that are sticking, plugs, wires, distributor cap & rotor, then oil change when I do the oil cooler lines. I think I'll need to the power steering lines after that. There's a crazy amount of leaking fluid on the front driver's side of engine bay. Pretty sure I need a rear main seal but that's not something I have the tools or capability to do alone. Also, the dreaded door hinge pins which also seems I will need assistance with to complete. Anyways, I could go on and on . . . Excited to be a part of this community and learn from y'all.

Never have I had a vehicle of mine look like this, let alone bought a vehicle this dirty! Lol. Pictures don't convey how nasty it really was.
