Nope. That one is long gone. This one is the keeper.

Any updates on this one?

No updates lately. I've just been driving her everyday. Later this summer I will have to pull the top end of the engine back apart and clean out all the oil and soot that has built up in the intake.

I just bought a new daily driver so I can stop racking up the miles on my little green truck. The miles are currently at 70,2xx and I don't want to put much more on it any time soon.

Standby on more progress later this summer. In the meantime, here is my new daily driver! 4.3L, 5 speed, 3.42 gears, 157k miles:

Nice! What part of Portland are you in?

[Corts60]

I live off of 113th in NE.

[Corts60]

Well, I thought I would change things up and run the stock wheels for a change.

[Palf70Step]

Looks OK, but I like your other rims better. Maybe if those were wider rims. BUT, she still looks real good!

[Westwind]

I love it. Looks like you just brought home from the dealership. Yet, the other rims are just as cool on such a sweet truck.

[Corts60]

Yeah I like the other wheels better too, but I need to replace two of the tires and am playing it cheap this month.

[y5mgisi]

Nice! I honestly can't decide which ones I like better! Also you are pretty close to me! I'm near 223rd and Powell.

Nice. Swing by anytime if you are out my way.

[y5mgisi]

Don't tempt me! Lol no but really, same goes to you!

I just noticed you have the same mirrors I need for my k10. Are they new? Or original to the truck? If new, where did you get them or what is that type called?

All original baby.

Can't believe you're letting it go!

What? No way!

Yeah, it's time to move on with life and focus on other priorities. She is an amazing rig, but it's time for some one else to enjoy her beauty. I'll build another one some day.

Sorry that all of my pictures no longer work in this thread everyone. Photo bucket has become greedy and wants me to pay $400 per year to allow my images to be seen on 3rd party websites. Well...they can suck it, they're not getting a dime from me.

I'll still be around the site chatting it up here and there, but for now this thread has finally come to an end. Thank you all who supported and helped along the way!

Someone at photo bucket needs a punt to the nuts, if for nothing but the loss of this thread. That's a lot of truck for the money, hope it goes to a good home.

Have you sold it already? If not, how much are you asking?
