Default newbie with 1986 d150 royal se

hey guys,
Bought my d150 about 3 weeks ago from my boss. he had the pickup in storage for the past 6 years. as soon as i can figure out this forum ill post some pics. the truck came with ALL paperwork including original window sticker that shows 11miles to the gallon in town and 13 miles to the gallon highway. it has the 360 engine in it. also have owners manual tire stuff and recipte for the exhaust that was done in 2002. it is a single cab shortbed with red interior. the seat was ripped so i replaced it with the best seat cover ever made a wine colored saddle blanket seat cover. it is one hell of a truck!!! at some point somebody installed a stereo and some speakers. other than that and the mufflers it looks to be all original. im not a fan of the tripod outside mirrors that the truck came with so i have put together some mirrors that will be replacing those oe's. like i said as soon as i can figure out the pic thing i will post. hope to get some good info from here and make some friends. im a 22 year old gm tech in a small dealer in tx.



sometimes i feel like this critter when i work on duramax's!!!!

Hey. I know we all gotta do what we gotta do in terms of employment . . . but I'm glad you are choosing to DRIVE the right truck!

haha yeah i guess. my dads the chevy nut in the family. hes got a 85 silverado that he bought new a 92 suburban and hes got my brother in a 96 deville. it wasnt until 03 when he saw the light and bought a 2003 dodge ram 1500 4x4 with the 5.7 hemi. its a damn good truck. still has the original battery after 7 years of service. i did the brakes on it for the first time about 5 months ago. all i need to do is replace some leaking power steering lines and its good as new again. he was impressed with the dodge but is gun ho on buying another gm. oh well. as far back as i can remember i always liked the mopar muscle. they always looked the meanest and had the best colors to choose from not to mention the insane power plants running them. when i went to my asap school it brought me over to gm stuff cuz they are so easy to work on but my heart cried for a mopar. since i bought my pickup i feel like im complete. i hope my gf dosent see this post hahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!
