Re: 1996 GMC K3500 DRW, Extended Cab, Flatbed, 454, NV-4500

Oh, so my dad got this truck as he intends to buy a gooseneck large enough to haul either the D4-7U, JD 3020, or vibratory roller that he recently bought. He wanted the added tires of a dually to do so. This thing was priced right to allow him lots of room to customize it.

Initial plans: flatbed, upgraded seats, fix the dings and scrapes on the cab, polish the paint, fix any oil leaks. (My dad HATES it when vehicles mark their territory.)

My dad ran up to a junkyard in Spokane and picked up full power heated leather seats out of a 2000 Yukon Denali (the spiffy two-tone gray ones) and on his way back David (88GMCTruck) and I met him at a midway point and showed him David's 99 that he's been building. My dad instantly added Kodiak handles, towing mirrors and overhead console w/comp & temp to his list of goodies.

In case anyone is wondering it is consistently getting 12 MPG on the hwy, had it serviced and checked over, everything is spiffy. It's had the radiator replaced recently, new plugs and wires, etc.
