The wheels were 18 x 8. Funny story about the wheels. This was back in '96 when everyone was running 15 x 10 with low pro's, big wheels weren't even a thing yet. I originally ordered these wheels in a 17" which was the largest diameter you could get at the time. When i went to pick these up they had a set of 18" sitting on the showroom floor. So i ended up buying that set to put on the truck and sold the 17s for half what i paid for them.

Great truck!! I am glad to see the worn out paint.... Better to leave it alone, than put on a cheap repaint.

I sold my old '88 to a collector in Germany. I dumped a ton of new/ original stuff into it, and the money into it was great, but the exporter was happy the worn paint was original.

Replace the front & rear lenses, and see how the look of the truck will 'pop'.....

How many miles on yours?

[Tubbsy]

Body has 259k, motor is about 100k, motor was blown when I bought it. My uncle and I dropped a crate motor in her. She needs rockers and cab corners, other than that she's in pretty good shape, inside of the bed is immaculate, has had the cover and a bed mat in it for 28 years now.

Been looking for a 400 to build for it, no luck on that so far.

Are you looking for just the block of a 400?

I may know of some people in So. Cal that will have one.

( I had 392,000 when it sold ... also with a clean bed!)

Yeah the block would be all I'd need, don't have anywhere to store it at the moment however, just moved in September off of a 20 acre piece of land to a house in the city... I miss my big old shed.

The 350 I'm running now is pretty mean, but I'm a bit of a speed freak lol.

I was doomed from the start, hehe. My grandpa and uncle both raced, we spent pretty much every weekend at the track...

Sad to say my first love was a Ford *shudder*. Always been a truck guy though.

Cool..... I knew 'Mongoo$e"...(RIP)... I assisted in the painting of this Duster to recreated the original one. ( This body was not the original funny car body)

Tom passed away last month.

[Tubbsy]

That's pretty cool, and sad...

So you're a body work guy? Or just kind of an all 'rounder?

All arounder.... I helped friend Kenny Youngblood on both Hot Wheels funny cars. I masked.... & a little brush work. But Kenny is the genius. He was original designer/painter on the old funny cars.

Opps.... I am getting off the subject.....

[Tubbsy]

Yeah we did, didn't we oops.

Thanks for the conversation, hopefully I'll be around a bit this time. Had an account a couple years ago, lost the login.

[mountie]

I can assume, you would have lot's of questions about your truck....

We are here!!

This is my 1996 K1500 diesel. My grandfather purchased it new. I bought it in 2011. Has 225,000 miles on it. Has a reflashed ecu, diamond eye exhaust, Duramax fan, and a non egr intake swap.

Man that thing is sweet! I haven't seen that combo before, only a C1500 once.

Not so much currently, but once I get settled in the new city and get to work on it I probably will. Glad to have such a great community to turn to for that.
