Hi everyone! I figured I'd introduce myself after using this forum for a while as a resource. I picked up a '98 K1500 Z71 late last summer since I needed a truck and something to tinker with. There's not much I can do with my daily driver without making it impractical, so it doesn't help much when I like working on my vehicles. I picked the truck up locally from the back lot of a dealership before it went to auction. It had good tires and no fluid leaks, but needed some work. Since then I've done a full tune-up, swapped all of the exterior light housings with some cheap replacements, and replaced the fuel tank, pump, and the lines. More recently, I fought with the old hub bearings and put in some new Bilsteins to replace the originals. All of that work smoothed everything out and made it more reliable mechanically.
Otherwise, I detailed the interior some, removed the purple window tint, and added the side-projecting ditch lights. It may be missing some clear coat and have the normal rust, but I'll get to that at a later time after it is better mechanically. I also have a cap that I finally found locally to put on, but I need to paint it first.
Prior to switching careers, I was a Chevrolet technician and became pretty familiar with these trucks. There is something to them that I have always been drawn to, not to mention they are pretty easy to work on.
