A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

That year of GMC is easily stolen. Ask me how I know.

I remember Brad!
Steve - he had a 05 2500? that he towed his enclosed trailer and Grand National in. It's the one they plucked from in front of his house.

What I didn't tell you guys is my truck has an anti-theft device - the dumb ass working on it!
Somehow I forgot to tighten the lugs and lost a wheel. I can laugh about it now - only thing that got hurt was my pride, and a fender/door/wheel bearing.
Currently it has a spray painted fender on it and the door is messed up.
So steal at your own risk  :rofl: :rofl:

Simple reminder - double and triple check shit. Especially if you smoke large quantities of weed and are constantly interrupted lol

That would be the one. Found out how easy they are to steal. TR's are even easier.

I could write a best seller about what went on about that and the stealathon that guy did with those trucks across Canada to get to BC and then him coming back, stealing a Suburban, and then rolling it in a police chase.

I think this one is finally done - well for the most part...
I swapped the hood, fenders, door, entire interior, hvac blend door actuators, installed some scumbag plastic rocker covers and installed my last hooker aerochamber muffler on it.
The leather seats were a huge upgrade in comfort, the heaters working is a bonus!
It's looks great from 10ft - but it's a 20+ year old truck with some blemishes.

Selling parts off the parts truck is officially profitable! I've made my money back +$225 not counting all the parts I've used and stocked away!

I've noticed used truck parts up here sell for stupid money on Kijiji and Marketplace.
