Hi everyone, I'm pretty new here and after lurking around for a while I decided to make my own thread for my truck. It's technically a one owner truck, my parents bought it brand new back in 96 and I gave them cash for it but still in their name. The only purpos the truck was bought for originally was to tow. They put 80k towing miles on it. So my father ordered it with the 14bolt SF and the heavier duty leaf pack. A couple years into ownership my dad and grandfather (head tech at local GM dealership) installed a K&N intake and Gibson 3" exhaust on the truck for better performance under load. My dad always said he should have bought a 3/4 ton truck. He never really cared about trailer weight ratings the truck came with and just towed whatever he had to. Most of which were boats, including a 31' weighing 10k lbs. Which was towed from Florida to Connecticut and then around the local area to the boat launch. Naturally the trucks transmission didn't like the weight behind it and my father went through 2 factory spec trannys before having a heavier duty towing oriented transmission built for the truck.
Since I've purchased it, the truck has had more cosmetic modifications. The first thing I did was getting a set of Dick Cepek DC-2 wheels 16x8 -12mm offset.
