Oh don't worry, i already do :D . And for the upgrades, nothing to much I was looking into lifting it at one point because I live close to a RYC but I drove my friends lifted truck the other day and it sucked for road driving. Im mostly going to do interior and engine upgrades if anything.

Welcome to the site! Congrats on a neat story... treasure it well! My first vehicle was a 97 K1500 Sierra; I got it when I was 17, free, from my uncle.

Nice truck. You can do a lot with these trucks. I'm sure you will have it fixed up to suit you soon.
