So, I get into Reno, westbound on I80. By this time, I'd gotten two destinations in mind... One being where my brother lives right now, and the other down at the airport, where the seller was looking to show the truck. Found my brother's place with ease.. He lives in a really nice neighborhood, at least from what I can see of it. Then it was on down to the truck... It was sitting on a corner in a parking lot of a large hotel. The seller was actually driving it still, so he was already there as well - I got out, we talked for a bit about the drive up from Texas (which he was still amazed I did lol) and then I checked out the truck... Now, as I'm sure most of you are aware, I'm fairly mechanically inclined, so if there are any issues that need noting, I'll usually find them. There was absolutely NOTHING wrong with the truck aside from what we'd already discussed. It runs PERFECT, the 5-speed standard transmission shifts great and holds gears (much unlike my 93 lol), the engine had recently been cleaned so of course it looked great (and he explained why it had been - this is in the next vid too)... Even the exhaust looked like he had just put it on, no rust. Yet he'd never touched the exhaust aside from replacing the headers. I was in shock and awe - this truck is flawless. The 350ci 5.7l V8 engine has the power the 262ci 4.3l V6 never did... Go figure right haha. Anyway... I was going to buy the truck at whatever price at this point... There was not going to be a chance of turning me away from it because I knew I'd regret it forever if I let it go. So now I'm the owner of a 1997 GMC K1500 Sierra Extended Cab Short Bed Fleetside PosiLok 4x4 truck with a 5.7 V8 and 5-speed manual transmission.
