Re: Refining "Sierra"

After owning Sierra for a short period, the last Arkansas owner decided to move on. He sold it to a gentleman from Tomball, Texas named Mike. Mike has owned several very nice cars and trucks, and liked the fresh look of Sierra. Well, everything but the white wheels. Even though the white spokes accented the fresh paint nicely, he wanted to change the look.

Mike contacted a friend that worked for Discount Tire, and ordered a set of Raceline wheels. He rolled out on Static Five Raceline 22" wheels with Yokohama tires
255/35/22 & 285/35/22.

This new look was more what he had in mind for the truck, but it wasnt going to be his for long. After a lengthy list of maintenance that included a new radiator, hoses, and thermostat. He also updated the A/C to run on 134, to ensure proper cooling in the Texas heat. The Trans and rear end were serviced along with new master cylinder, booster, and rear wheel cylinders. He had the windows tinted and a full Kenwood system to enhance the interior too.

During this time he and his wife decided they needed to dowsize his fleet of hotrods and Sierra was on the short list. She was once again put up for sale. Thats where I became involved in the story.
