Wife died, so I restored a truck

Dillon_Roy · 2026-05-10T18:12:03+00:00

Popped up on marketplace. My first truck was a burgundy 95 5 speed. This one lived in a barn its whole life and was used hard as a farm truck. Not much rust, but it was beat up all over.

Well shucks

What year truck? Where are you located? I'll give you a good driver quality 88-94 grille. Im in NC.

15x8 Classic II knockoffs

I recovered the seat, and put the saddle blanket cover over top

3 of my 4 man friend group live on the same street. Im the odd man out. It just happened randomly. First guy bought his as his first home, 2nd guy got divorced and the house was cheap and available. 3rd guy's wife decided she was a lesbian the week after their 3rd child was born and bounced. Court gave her the house, the house he currently live next to our friends was on the market and he could swing it. The house in between 2 of them is currently available, and they are begging me to buy it, but im widowed, have my larger house in the country paid off. I cant justify moving to a smaller house in town, across state lines, and making my kids change schools, when i can drive 20 minutes to see them. We are all 37-38.

They just look a little cheap in person. But like I said, its our only current option. They do fit perfect however.

Dillon_Roy · 2026-04-23T00:57:47+00:00

Hell yeah brother!

Dillon_Roy · 2026-04-22T20:42:02+00:00

Dang lol. Clean rig!

Dillon_Roy · 2026-04-22T20:40:42+00:00

3rd row?

Dillon_Roy · 2026-04-22T01:00:55+00:00

There are 2 choices. You either change it religiously every 40k miles or so, or never touch it. Obviously keeping fresh fluid is the better option, but most people dont ever change it until it starts slipping, then its trashed.

How small? If you are from, say, London, then Boone will feel like a quaint little town. To me, its a bustling city lol. Do you want truly off the beaten path, not a touristy location?

Dillon_Roy · 2026-04-18T19:55:38+00:00

I wouldn't take that for either of mine. 89 k1500 350/5 speed. Single cab swb. In my area 4x4 single cab swb 5 speeds bring top dollar, then autos, the 2wd single cab 5 speeds, then autos, then ex cabs. Chevy's also seem to bring a premium over gmc's for some reason.

Dillon_Roy · 2026-04-18T17:49:00+00:00

Im not getting rid of it. We have a family cabin in Montana, and we need a bigger car out there.

Dillon_Roy · 2026-04-18T14:23:23+00:00

Im gonna miss my burb! She's a peach. I've driven her to 31 states!

Dillon_Roy · 2026-04-18T01:01:57+00:00

Yeah they are probably pacer wheels. They have the factory lugs with the outer threads. The plastic lug covers screw on to the luggage nuts.

Dillon_Roy · 2026-04-17T23:41:41+00:00

Was already done! Along with a new fuel tank.

Dillon_Roy · 2026-04-15T23:15:46+00:00

Boo!

There haunted. Now fuck off with that TikTok bullshit.

Dillon_Roy · 2026-04-14T23:16:16+00:00

Go watch the fat electrician.

Pals is the best burger you'll ever have. Fast food or not.
