Transition to NC Complete - Prall Has His Pick Up Truck
After weeks of looking for the right pick up truck, I have finally found it and it now resides at the front of the house. I just purchased a 1998, Chevrolet K1500 Silverado 4x4, Extended cab, Short bed. It has a manual transmission, manual transfer case engagement, manual locks, manual windows, and manual mirrors - less electronic stuff to break, the better. The truck is very clean, free of rust or dents, and it had only one owner. It has approximately 104K miles and it runs great (other than a small power steering incident which we have quickly corrected).
Though the NC DMV are spawns of Satan, we finally get the truck titled and it's now the permanent vehicle for yours truly. A slight change of pace from my previous vehicle.
Oh yeah, welcome to North Carolina!

Nice!
A manual tranny, too. I can't wait to see it.

Very Nice... You can return to being an educated hillbilly in Kentucky/NC. :) I will be one shortly after working with all of them at Emerson... Looking forward to next month. I finally got my bike down to Dayton, just finished up putting a new front tire, front break pads, new headlight and turn signal shafts on it and she is running fairly well. Best of all the oil leak is finally fixed.
