I might have found a gem that is about 1/2 mile from my American Legion post

[OR VietVet]

He called me and said he would sell to me for $8000 and I went and bought it and have it home. I will post pics of it after I clean it.

The test drive was great the other day and my drive home was great. He has a Kenwood stereo in it with a remote for it. Two working key fobs and keys.

So, the quest is over and both sides happy. Time to start going thru it and making a list for this and that. Thanks all for any support given in this thread. In the end, I was just not going to find one in this good of shape anywhere within 200 miles of me.

Glad you guys were able to compromise. This seemed like a good fit for you when you originally posted it so it’s good to see you didn’t let it slip away over a couple hundred dollars. Looking forward to the pics. Maybe you should start a build thread just to keep track of all you do to it, because you and I both know you’re gonna do a few things lol.

X2! Excellent! Agree you should just go ahead and start a build thread now. Lol.

Congrats. Looks like a great truck. Glad you both came to an agreement. TBH I was surprised you were walking over a $200-300 difference. Especially as it was going to another Vet.

Hope it serves you well.

I did give it a good look over and road test when I initially looked at it but now I will be taking wheels off and inspecting all of that and get down to the nitty gritty.

I will be doing the Corvette servo and the same exhaust as my other rig and wheels and tires. I am gonna save the Z71 wheels and sell the tires that are on it. It has the sliding open sun roof and I will need some info from anyone here as to the correct maintenance for that. This being an 05 I know it has some things my 02 doesn't. so a list of those from others here would also help.

After I check it all over and make my list of what I am doing, I will post a build thread. People that I know already want to buy my 02 but I am keeping it for now, may never sell it. I really like that rig. Now I have to update my signature.

I will be doing the Corvette servo

What does that do, exactly? Sorry for the ignorance, and I did a search before responding, but couldn't find anything on the site. There were SIX PAGES of "corvette" postings...

After all that nickel and diming back and forth, you're now going to sell the wheels separately and tires with 40% tread left??

Corvette servo provides a MUCH quicker shift from 2-3. The standard is this kit:

Although, when I bought
Mine, it had the option to include the longer Servo pin:

Might have to get them separately now. My servo / pin had a decent amount of free movement, so also did the pin.
