Nice. What are your plans for this time capsule?

I thought you did 800 on your way home with it...NOT that it had 800 TOTAL!!!!
Friggin awesome. I wish my brake pedal was that nice!!! Definitely tells the story.
Great grab.

You keep saying "dealer". Were you the auction winner originally or did a dealer get it at the auction, or was it taken there for "service"?

And also have you checked the seats and other hiding places to see if the legend is true??

GIven that you picked this up in PA, I assume yours is the truck originally from the Wilhelm auction that sold on BAT. There's not too many like this with under 1K miles for it not to be. I guess you've seen the discussion thread already since you posted a pic of the brake pedal. To all you naysayers, I'm not saying I told you so buuuuuuttt I told you so. That's a great truck and you'll turn many heads and have a blast driving it. Get ready to talk about it with strangers often. Congratulations on the purchase and welcome to the forum.

Run some Techron through a full tank of fuel, that will help clean the fuel system out.

Glad you changed the tires out, I would have done it before the trip, I'm not that brave!

Amazing!!! Only thing I would do is put Chevy center caps on the wheels.

It would be hard to drive, it will only be “new” once

Twice now, once in 1998 and its second life in 2024. Either way, an awesome rig!

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.

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!
