Hey everyone,

Earlier this year my dad started fixing up his '96 C1500 that he bought new. Right now it has about 196k miles on it but is still rolling on. Like a lot of the trucks posted on here, this one has a tremendous amount of sentimental value to our family. From lake trips, to ball fields, to tobacco fields. This truck is a part of the family!

We have had much of the exterior restored (paint, new tailgate, etc.) but we are still trying to get the interior as close to new as possible. While researching I stumbled on this forum and lurked enough to know that there is some serious knowledge and experience here that I can learn from, so naturally I joined!

I look forward to chatting here with you all and getting this truck back to glory!!

Welcome from Alberta Canada
That looks as sharp as knife!!!! Sweet
And never seen a hood emblem on a 400. Different and cool. Hopefully no hoodlums like it more than you.
Just cleaning it up or is it getting slammed and dubbed!!!!! Lol

That's a purrrty truck. It looks like the long, lost little brother of mine. Welcome!

Welcome, that is a fine looking automobile you have there. It's great to hear the back stories that so many trucks on here have, it gives them a personality like being a member of the family.

That is a museum quality time machine! You could put the Monroney sticker (in the last photo)
back up on the window and I would completely believe it!

Welcome to the GMT400 forum. Lots of fellow enthusiasts in here, no doubt you will
instantly feel right at home.

Cheers --

The look on my dad's face if I did that would be hilarious

Thanks for the welcome!

Thank you to everyone for the warm welcoming! Didn't expect anything less given our similar interests in trucks
