Nothing like all you ballers on here buy but I'm poor. Broome probably doesn't know they even made trucks back then. 02 Chevy 2500 with a 6.0 Vortec in it, 4wd ext. cab with a 6.5 ft. bed. Only 68,000 mi. Was inherited when the guy's FIL died, he started working on it then decided he didn't need a second truck. Has new cab corners and rockers, new tailgate and rear bumper. Box has some rust, I'll either fix it or take it off and build a flat rack for it. Crank windows and the 4wd is a lever on the floor, less electronics the better. Spotted it on FB marketplace Monday night, jumped on it, the guy's phone was blowing up for it, knew it wouldn't last long. Gave $8000 for it, figure I can't lose, if for some reason I don't keep it I can resell it easily and get my money back. But I don't plan on getting rid of it. No pics yet, going to try to get it home today. It's about 10 miles away and I can take all back roads to get here so that's the plan. Probably won't put it on the road till spring, keep it out of the salt.
A real truck! I've owned a '95 K2500 since new. Always a plow truck and used on the farm...ie a no BS truck. Other than rust it's as good as new.....
I think you will like your truck. I have one that is almost identical, except 2019 model. 6.0 pulls anything I put behind it. Gets good mileage on regular gas.
Well got it home and not in jail. It's got some brake / signal light issues on the rear according to my helper who followed me home. Sure I'll find some more as I work thru it.
I recently got a new to me 1992 GMC K1500 with 222k miles. I bought in Oregon and drove it 2300 miles back home. It has zero rust and will be a great project. I only paid $1700 and had a fun drive home to WI staying off the freeway and seeing some sights.
WTF! How did we not know this. I dub thee Gorilla Gump! Life is like a box of uppercuts...you never know where dey gonna land.
I have a 99 with a 6.0. A few years ago I installed a CAI, long-tube headers, exhaust, and had it tuned. Really woke the truck up. The changes the tuner made in the trans programming made towing way nicer.
Home of Kohler Engine's US production. I am thinking there had to be cheap beer involved when you were made.
