    1998 K2500..Got her home yesterday, it now has almost 800 miles on her!

    Zoom in and see all that plastic on the engine tunnel? It was every where, covered all the carpetting thru out the truck. I removed it all today and after 26 years the stickem is/was still doing its job. The Black lettering says that the selling dealer (1st) is supposed to remove all of it but...

    I am glad to help set the record straight! The internet is great in so many ways but..it’s an easy place for some others to say “Stuff” before they actually know “Stuff” too!

    1998 K2500..Got her home yesterday, it now has almost 800 miles on her!

    OK..not sure what the legend is that you’re referring to is..You got me there! The seats are Great! Nice soft leather on all three rows! They had been wrapped in GM Plastic for the last 26 years so.. I got it at the BaT auction, the dealer I am referring to is the one who got it at the auction...

    1998 K2500..Got her home yesterday, it now has almost 800 miles on her!

    The folks who won that auction (Wilhelm) are in fact a used car dealership (Very nice older cars & trucks) in PA. They put it on BaT and that’s where I first saw it and more or less decided that this Red Sub would be mine. I know why some of those guys have a hard time believing the milage is in...

    1998 K2500..Got her home yesterday, it now has almost 800 miles on her!

    I wanted to change the tires out but by the time i was done with paperwork it was late in the afternoon. I tried to find a tire dealer to get the tires changed but they all close at 5pm and it was 4pm so..Just to many ifs..So get on the road, take it slow and well I made it!

    I plan on driving the heck out of her, when I buy trucks, cars, etc I buy em to drive em! I am not a collator i know some folks would put in a garage someplace hidden from view but that’s not me.

    1998 K2500..Got her home yesterday, it now has almost 800 miles on her!

    This truck has just about every option Chevy had available so it’s loaded. All the seats are leather of course and very comfortable! I didnt want to push it since the tires where really bad, kept it under 60 the whole way home and that’s not fun doing 55-60 and getting pasted by semis doing 70+...

    I hope the doubting Thomases out there will have a close look at that picture as I posted it for them!

    The dealer I bought it from changed the oil & filter just before I picked it up as I was concerned about that. I will be keeping a close eye on everything as I want to make sure everything is 100% with this Sub! ;-)

    1998 K2500..Got her home yesterday, it now has almost 800 miles on her!

    Not sure if they where the ones GM/Chevy put on her, paperwork said Firestones but it had Goodyears on her when I picked her up in PA. BFG KOs now! I will be driving her and having her stretch her legs soon enuff! I am still in the break in period?

    1998 K2500..Got her home yesterday, it now has almost 800 miles on her!

    The truck was great except for the tires, they suxed to high heaven but being 26 y/o..that was expected. The 454 ran ruff at first, I suspect it had old gas in the tank, the dealer I got her from filled it with Premium and as i burned it off it did settle down, not completely yet. I filled it up...

    I just re-read a bunch of the posts regarding this truck that I bought on BaT. One of the very first pics i will post will be a close up of the Brake pedal since that seems to be the determining proof some guys go by as to whether a truck is new or a rebuilt/restoration. I trust BaT or else i...

    Thanks guys..I pick it up on Monday! Looking forward to driving it home. Once every thing checks out I will be taking it for a nice long break in trip to someplace doing the things i like to do. OH..I will post some pics of it once i have my hands on it. I don’t want to use the pics on the BaT...

    321 mile 1998 K2500 Suburban

    Reading thru the entire listing/post/comments on BaT to get the whole story before making off the wall comments about something you know nothing about?? What a radical idea!

    OH..BTW..I normally only buy & drive Fords! I know right, the Dark Side? Which is which i will leave up to you to decide..This Red K2500 came up for sale and I thought..what the heck..I havent owned any GM product in over 50 years (am I dating myself now) so now I will see what this beauty has...

    I am also new to the 1998 Suburban I just bought. This is the first sub that I have ever owned but I have driven many over the years company trucks so I am not stranger to them. I will be checking in here from time to time to see what’s going on and I am sure I will have questions too. When I...
