Have you ever wondered what happened to your old truck?

Well, Skylark got my baby.....

Yeppers, thank you very much! It currently looks like a complete truck, the 94-98 GMC grill and lights are just hanging because I will paint the grill and replace the headlights with the new ones. The bumper is on but the filler panel panel doesn't fit quite right so I will swap the bumper brackets. I have washed it up decently but haven't waxed her yet because I'm not sure how I'm going to address the peeling clear coat on the roof. I still need to polish the wheels in a bad way though. I siphoned the cruddy fuel and pulled the pod off of the tbi and swapped on one from dads truck (the 4.3 injectors are hosed and the regulator just dumps all fuel right back to the tank) and got it running. It runs like poo and the oil pressure was quite low even with clean used oil and a new filter (one of the reasons for the donor truck). Once dads wedding is out of the way and I finish his truck the green truck gets the LS.
I will be rocking the GMT800 parts truck for the 21 days (trip permit) following this Friday because I needed an extra vehicle during having all of my family here. Imaging picking my Grandma and Aunt up at the train station in Klamath Falls in that! It will also go to Roseburg to do some fishing with my brother in law on Tuesday, Portland on Wednesday to pick up family members on my new step moms side of the family. I'm fairly confident that it will do just fine once I change the intake gaskets on Saturday. I will also use the 800 as a beater truck when hauling horse manure from Selma, trimming trees, pulling brush and pretty much not giving a rip about it as long as mechanically it ends up in one piece. It will have one heck of a grand finale before I strip its guts out and sell them to the highest bidder on craigslist and evilbay.

I know where mine is still. Getting pummeled by gravel and all sorts of mess as a "Gopher" at a flea market yard.

Maybe one day I'll buy it back and make my first kid drive it as their first car.

1994 C2500 ECLB - grandpa's truck (only 86,000 miles), was in damn good condition, I was out a truck for a while so he had no use for it, never officially bought it but I did drive it for a year. Did regular maintenance on it and fixed a few things. Time came when I no longer needed it so I gave it back. Then he let my cousin borrow it. Now it's trashed, huge dent in the bedside where he kicked it, never sees any attention, runs like crap, and now needs a transmission. Somehow that dumba$$ blew up a 4L80E. IDK if i'd give Grandpa $500 for it now......

1996 K2500 ECLB - bought it, drove it for a year, then came the electrical gremlins, kept attempting to fix it and wound up way in a financial hole, sold it to a friend for $900. Soon to be a SAS'd mud truck on 44's.

Sorta funny, says its a 1998 with 242000KM, truth is its a 1996 with over 400000KM, 5 inch body lift? plus its a chev, not a GMC.

1993 ECSB 4x4 Burgundy/Brown- Bought, never drove, sold it, dropped off the face of the earth.

More than one place around those parts where a truck could drop off the face of the earth & never be seen again!
Lotta open country there!
