Re: Any Original Owners?

I should have kept my '92 and fixed it up, but the engine blew and I sold it in '15 due to finances.

'92 K3500 SRW regular cab SLE 6.5TD/5spd/4.10

I went in one Saturday morning, had the salesman bring out the options books, a piece of paper and a pen so I could have GMC build me a truck. I had gold trucks, a '70 C/30 and an '84 K30 so I wanted a gold '92. Company color! But nope, no gold offered as it turned out. I decided to order a truck when I saw a gold Chevy K2500. I guess it wasn't a '92 or only Chevy had gold. I wanted the interior to stay light beige (tan) and I couldn't have it with the colors they offered that I liked.

Here we had the whole truck down on paper and he's flipping pages probably worried about losing the sale. I am hardheaded after all. He flipped past a page with 5-6 colors that I knew were fleet colors. I had him go back and he said those were only available to fleet customers, which were businesses that ordered 10 or more trucks. "If I had a fleet of new trucks and an employee totalled one I couldn't order one to replace it in the same color?" I wanted Woodland Green, which had been in GM's truck color selections forever, very classic truck. He said he'd talk to GMC. They said they'd allow it but I had to wait for a minimum of 5 orders before they'd put it through. I think that took 6 weeks.

I actually ordered it with the future in mind, as well as the past. I ordered it the way I would have ordered a '72. Saw it as a future classic from new, but bought for work and work it surely did... 22 years!
