98BlackSierra
Lifelong Chevy Owner
Its a bit of a story, but here goes. My dad bought a Silverado brand new in 1998 when I was 13 years old. I loved the color combo from the instant I first saw it. I learned to drive in it, spent many weeks up north camping, took ex-girlfriends to dances in high school, and made a lot more awesome memories in it. My dad passed away in 2010 and the truck was left to me. It now has roughly 155,000 miles on it. It has the 14 bolt sf and has hauled its fair share over the years. It definitely was used like a truck, but my dad loved it.
Its spent its whole life in northern Michigan, but the frame is solid. The rockers and cab corners are another story. The 3rd door is completely rotted at the bottom. Paint and body work will be hopefully this coming winter if all goes as planned. I have a used 3rd door, rear bumper, and tailgate from Alabama in the garage so no rust. Just need to locate a pair of doors now.
It was my daily driver for the past several years, but I parked it about a year when I bought my 2016. At the time a small fuel leak developed near the filler neck, but finally burst this past week when I fired it up. The end of the line rusted out so I'm going to grab a new fuel line set from linestogo.com. I have other parts I'll replace, but will post as I do the repairs.
