What's up everybody?
My names Frank and I'm from Southern NY, about an hour north of NYC. I've been lurking around here gathering information for the past few weeks as I was sorting out a deal to buy my new truck. Luckily for me, it worked out! I'm going to be a junior at Syracuse University in the fall, and really needed something to get me back and forth to school, and something that would suit my future needs as well.
I ended up buying an 1989 C3500 Single Cab Dually. The truck is in excellent shape for it's age, has 60,*** original miles and I couldn't be happier. It has the 454/automatic combo and stock am/fm cassette player. The previous owner put on chrome simulators and resprayed the truck from blue to white. The color blue that it was, is actually the same as the '93 GMC Suburban I've been driving for the past few years.
My future plans for the truck are tow mirrors (either the old school, bolt to the door stainless kind, or the telescopic ones off of a GMT800), a new head unit (which I'll definitely need help figuring out how to do the swap), and a trailer brake controller. I would also like to put a bench seat out of a later model truck so that I have an arm rest and a cup holder, but that won't be done in the immediate future.
As of right now, I race oval track go karts on pavement and I help crew on a big block DIRT Modified. Part of the reason for getting this type of truck was for the capability of pulling a trailer in the future. I've been looking for a single cab dually for a very, very long time but they're absolutely impossible to find around here, especially in the shape that this truck is in.
In the short time I've spent snooping around on this board, I've learned a great deal about these trucks and I hope to be a positive contributor to the forum. I still have a lot to learn about this particular platform, but I'm excited as all hell to have my new rig. Here are some pictures I took from my iPhone today once I got her home:
And here are a few quick shots of my racing kart:
