Finally Got him back!

[chuckthetruck]

Hey guys/girls! My name is Bill and when i was 17 (13 years ago) i bought a 1987 Sierra Classic 1500 2wd. I then, being young, decided about 1-2 years later that I really wanted a Camero and then a VW Jetta came my way. All this time I had given my Sierra (chuck) to my father to use for camping purposes. It has remained in our family since the time i bought it 13 years ago and has been through a paint job, 2 engine replacements, and engine overhaul.

Dad said he would always give him back to me when he was done with camping. He retired and mom JUST retired and they sold their 5th Wheel camper and was done with camping. Well they still didnt give him up and actually threaten to sell him thinking that "you really don't need this truck". I talked them out of that and then turned around to find out my wife's gift to me for our anniversary was CHUCK!! She had saved up enough money (giving plasma and such) to have enough gas money to drive him from Wabash, Indiana to Moberly, MO (about 500 miles). Had a friend look at him last night and found that the main seal is leaking...and the transmission is slipping. I do not believe my dad every changed any tranny fluid, not to mention the truck temp is running 210 (according to the guage) which i heard will make the tranny slip if it has old fluid in it.

Either way he is coming back into my possession finally!

Here is his stats and I will get pictures up when I officially have it...SPEAKING OF IF YOU ARE COMING THIS WAY AND WANT TO TOW IT FOR ME...LET ME KNOW!! WDS128@CCCB.EDU
