New Ride! 1997 Z71

[Alljackedup408]

Found this truck on good old craigslist.

It needs alot of cleaning and parts freshened up.... but I basically got it for nothing.

Motor was freshened up last year... third gear is gone in the trans and the rear end howls. Ordering all the parts for the trans today... doing it next week.... using Trutech parts.. guys seem on top of things... if anyone has experience with their parts let me know! hahah.

I will be ordering new seat covers, gotta find interior dye, so I can match up all the dash colors again.. fading and replaced parts make it look like a lego dash... the tail lights are being beaten with a bat... new ones on the way today.... needs a good wax and cleaning... worst case I have to paint it... new moldings and headlights will make it go a long way. Solid truck. If anyone has any interior parts or stuff for this truck let me know, I will buy!! I want to get this truck back to where it looks awesome.... it's paid for... so I have cash to spend on her!

Watcha think?

I think I have got rid of all my 400 stuff, but I may have some things stuck in storage. I will look for you.

Don't for get to contact !!

You might look on eBay for some Katzkin covers. They have some good deals on gmt900 stuff. Haven't looked for 400.

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

Congrats Brian!

How many miles are on it? That Florida sun is bruttle on vehicles. Don't forget to install some quality synthetic lubricants as you refresh the rear diff and transmission.
