Finally back in the US, and a Picture of the Truck

[KMK454]

Hi all, I'm finally back in the US after a deployment... been a while since I drove the truck!

It rested in a storage garage near my parents' house, and my dad would start it and drive it about twenty to thirty miles a month just to keep it fresh. He had been busy though and when I returned home, it hadn't been moved in a month. It fired up on the second crank without issue. It's just over a believed to be 25k actual miles...

Here's a cellphone picture:


Unfortunately I'm in TX for the meantime but should get a new duty assignment on the east coast in a few months, which is why I'm not getting my truck shipped out here. I'm still unsure what to do with it long term... leave it be and just preserve it, restore bits and pieces, full restoration (should be relatively easy), bag it on 20s (probably least likely), sell it, just drive it more, who knows. I'm kind of confused on cars right now. Currently it's just a complete garage queen and weekend cruiser, going to the occassional show or sometimes carrying something that won't fit in my DD. I do know the AC needs to be fixed (converted to R134 and it worked for a week until the compressor died) and that's a big hurt on summer driveability.

Regardless, I'm glad to see the community here is still alive and kicking...
