sometime before fall of 2016 I added the cab lights using the diagram from GMCTRUCK and soon after I blew a head gasket

That following summer I cracked the block by the starter ear and had to be towed home by my 2000 K2500 nicknamed Karma. Build thread coming for that one soon [emoji6]

Soon after the block cracked and me entering my junior year of school I had no funds to replace the engine. I welded the ear back on. Multiple times only for it to crack again. I just couldn’t keep the truck as it was my daily and I needed a vehicle to get back and forth to work. So I sold it. That night I cried like a baby. I had put so much time and money into it just to see it towed away by someone I didn’t know. I spent the next year and a half trading for many different GMT400s. Around 12 in total. None of them filled the void my 95 did. Then one day I couldn’t take it anymore so I posted in one the FB groups asking where it was and if anybody seen it maybe I could buy it back. Within the hour the owner responded

The next 11 months I’ve offered the guy everything under the sun from A few camaros, ford powerstrokes, quite a few chevys but the guy wouldn’t budge. Not even after 2500 he denied it. Then one day just for ***** and giggles I offered him my other 95 bought as a donor for the step side. It ran and drove it was a cowboy conversion truck with 300k on the clock. I met him in OKC and from there we went to Tuttle where we traded and I had my step side again

So when I got it back the trans was shot in it, dash was in disrepair. And the AC no longer worked neither the heater. I replaced the trans with a 700r4 from a 91 and started the body work, mostly the damaged panel but I was repainting it so I wanted it done right so we sandblasted it and got to work

Well today was pretty productive, got the taillights, headlights and cab lights back on. Cleaned up some of the inside. And took her down the road for the first time since I got her back. Don’t mind the stuff in the back glass it’s just some tape and residue from being painted

The Billet grill finally showed up in the mail, install was very easy just had to drill some holes and screw in some brackets but I’m very happy with the look. Now to find some mirrors and she’ll be back where I want her
