Right on. I bought a white one brand new in 97. One of my favorites without a doubt.

I have an interesting story about its last day with me

Spill the beans.

In '99 my family and I were off to Alaska, to start our new life. We sold everything except for what we could fit in the back of a brand new Summit 24' enclosed trailer. Brand new 5.7 crate engine in the back of the pick up for our '95 Tahoe that I planned to put in when we got to AK

I put a HD trans cooler, air bags etc to make the trip. 30 miles out of town, and up the second long grade, I was down to 1st gear. At the top the trans started slipping badly, I just burned up the trans. Truck had 25 K miles on it. Limped back to town. My buddy hooked on to the trailer, and ran by the scales...it weighed 9K pounds

Off to the dealer, and in 2 hours I was into a '98 K2500 with a 7.4 Vortec. Off to AK again, same day. Sold the crate engine to a friend, and shoved more furniture in the back to make the wife happy I should have kept the engine.

I had no idea that trailer weighed that much I always learn the hard way. Young and dumb
