'MURICA... NUFF SAID
I've owned this truck since March 2012 I was stationed with the Air Force in Anchorage, Alaska. I bought it off an older gentleman who couldn't get in and out of it anymore. It was his pride and joy, his "weekend warrior" as he called it. He had a newer Silverado as his daily, and played in this one. He owned it new from the lot and did all the work his self at his shop. I showed up and there was no truck to be seen, and he tossed me a shovel and pointed to the snow pile at the end of the driveway. It took me about 2 hrs to dig it out and then it wouldnt start. I fell in love with the truck as soon as I saw it and wanted it no matter what. He said he would tow it off to the shop and get it running and call me back. I told him if he got it running I had the cash. Turns out even though he pulled the battery it froze in his garage. I asked him how much he wanted for it, and just smiled. He said "How much you got, young'n?" And of course you dont want to say to much, so I kinda hesitated. He said "Give me 3500 and its yours. You pay the title fees." Alot less than I expected, especially if it ran.
But now lets cut to the chase. Its a 1997 Chevy K1500 with the 5.7 Vortec. It is sitting on a 6" ProComp suspension lift with 35" BFGs. Nothing major done performance wise, but I will work through that as I go. I have alot of plans for this truck, and for now I am deployed to the Middle East and decided to start this thread. It might take me a little bit to get caught up, but bear with me. I don't have all of the pics and am sure I will miss some, but I will update when I get home. Im posting in chunks due to the limit on the posts.
So lets go.
This was the picture he had posted on CraigsList.
After I got there and dug it out, this is what I found.
After he towed it off he called and said all they had to do was put in a new battery. I showed up an hour later and fired it up. Drove it away that night.
I took alot of poser shots with it. I loved the truck to start off.
