Newbie
Bought this truck in 2003 for 500 bucks! Used it to move cross country to southern California as a young man and stayed there for a few years. Came back to NJ and continued driving it to and from work until 2015. Then parked it until 2021 when I got the itch to make a project out of it and bought a ton of parts but never found the time to devote to it. Recently was driving it to work when the power steering hose burst. All it took was fixing that hose to reignite my desire to build this thing up the way it deserves to be. This truck has been so good to me and it's amazingly nice to drive around in. It always brings back so many good memory's of riding around and discovering new places. This truck is a piece of the history of my life. Without a reliable easy to work on truck that had no monthly payment it would have been much harder to make it in the world. Thank you to GMC for making such great machines from 1988-1998. GMT stands for General Motors Toyota as far as I'm concerned.
The goal is to make this 34 year old truck very reliable and easy to cruise the highway in.
So far in the last month it's had:
1) Oil/Filter change Mobil full synthetic
2) Rough Country 6 inch lift
3) 33 BFG Tires on 5 lug steel rims
4) Little machine shop rear disc brake conversion
5) Mag-Hytec differential cover
6) New ball joints and tie rods
7) NAPA front disc's, wheel bearings, ceramic pads, new calipers
In the process of finishing stainless brake lines so it can go to the alignment shop.
