Hey Folks.

Father had Chevy's my whole life, which mean I know dill about them. The truck has about 91k on it. Interior is very mint. All the options where selected for this ride. Its clean and ready from some new love.

Thinking about putting a leveling kit on it, to bring the front end up.

Does anyone else have a similar truck? What issues are you finding? What should I know?

Just some general help would be great.

Anyone else in Bend, Oregon?

Thanks for the support everyone.

Thanks everyone for the welcome.

She's about 95% rust free. A bit of surface rust, other than that, she seems good. The truck is at the local Chevy Guru today to get checked out. Details to come.
