I love this truck, but you can’t keep them all. Anybody can own a Chevy, be different, drive a GMC. This truck was purchased in Missouri in 1990, almost 25 years ago. It originally came from Kansas, there was very little rust. It sat in dry storage for the next 18 years, and in 2008 I started the build.

New Class II receiver and hitch New front bumper This truck drives like a late model truck. It floats down the road at 70 mph. It has been on the road for 5 years now, logged around 15K miles, and proved to be extremely reliable. When I first put it on the road, it was getting 19 MPG, I haven’t checked lately. I would not hesitate jumping in this truck and driving coast to coast.
