So I was stumbling around on the interwebz when I ran across this site. Figured since I just purchased a '94 K1500 extended cab, short box I may as well try to pick up some tips from people with some experience on these trucks.
I'm not a complete novice when it comes to repairs and have a couple of older generation ('77 C10 Chevy, '85 K25 GMC) and found what I thought was a fair deal on the '94.
First major order of business with this 'new to me' purchase is going to be replacing the frame. I noticed before purchase the frame had a few scabs but didn't look all that bad. Not until the small air chisel practically fell thru the 'kick up' section behind the cab....DOH!!
Then using a borrowed needle scaler other areas (holes) were revealed to the point of either selling the truck for parts, attempting to fix the frame, or find a replacement.
So enough of the reason why I'm here.
I'm glad to find the forum for these trucks and I hope to learn and possibly contribute to the discussions.
