New....ish

Not necessarily a new member, but just got back into GM truck ownership after several years.

BLUF: Lost my 2011 Silverado in 2017 when the wife becoming pregnant quickly turned my truck into a minivan... (happy wife happy life I suppose [emoji23])

Flashforward to now, and I just bought a 1976 K5 Blazer Cheyenne. Everyone is happy, she still has her minivan and I am back in something much better than an 08 Suzuki SX4 ha!

Also, new callsign these days (Air Force C17 Pilot)... no longer known as Bacon. No everyone calls me BONES.

Lookin forward to getting back into the chats.

Just going to keep as is for now. Dont have any intentions of turning it into a hard core off-road rig. Going to make some small changes here and there but nothing major.

Also, part of the deal with the boss here at home was she can use it in photoshoots for her photography business lol... so gotta keep it looking clean and straight!

Great looking K5, looks to be in really good shape.

What's the story behind it, did you buy it from a private party? Do you know any of it's history?

Bought from a guy here in town. I'll be the 3rd owner. He bought 4 years ago. Original owner put a new engine in it, 32k miles on the new engine. Dont know the actual total mileage on it. It's been kept in storage during the winters here in Alaska. The guy I bought from never drove it so he decided it was time to pass it on to someone who would get it out there and drive it.

That's about all I know about it
