mean. but we play pranks on boot Marines too, like finding humvee keys, refilling the scuttle butt, finding 100 feet of flightline (flightline is the airport runway) etc.
@burrboy haha thats great, reminds me of a time we sent my friends g/f into autozone for "blinker fluid" to fix her turn signal.
forgot about going to hardware store for the board stretcher and the plaid paint. Or the muffler bearings or send some one to the tool crib for a long weight.

In high school we sent a girl to Jiffy Lube to get the winter air changed out for summer air in her tires.  Also suggested they top off her blinker fluid while they were at it.  She came to school pretty mad the next day.

Biggest mistake for me was putting an aftermarket poly cell under my bed in the 87.  Nothing but problems with the fuel system since, and it's been parked in my driveway for over 5 years now.  Just about have all the pieces I need to get it back to factory, just short on time.

Selling 'em. Always had seller's remorse when selling one of these trucks.

Same here!!  Sold an 86 GMC K1500, parted out an 82  GMC C1500, man I miss those tricks!!
