Whut it dew? This is my second page for my second whip, a 1988 GMC SIERRA 1500. This has a very healthy K-code 350 in it(FOR NOW). This truck was also bought as an fully loaded aftermarket custom in November 1987 as a 88'. I love this truck!! My dad bought it brand new when i was a little kid and when i got my liscence he said it was mine and i took it. I wouldn't say im customizing the truck cuz that has taking a different meanin these days...im RE-ENGINEARING this truck becuase basically every part on it is getting upgraded to way it should have been. I got this truck in Febuary of 2008 and been buying parts since.If you got any questions swang thru my guest book and sign it and also check out my otha project my 1977 A-Body Monte Carlo. Thanks...
