Hello to all in the group.
Many years ago I had a 1970 Chevy 1/2 ton pick up. That was a great truck and served we well. Then some years later I bought a full size 1976 GMC Jimmy (Blazer) and I have missed it many times over the years since I sold it. A momentary mental loss I guess. A few years later I owned a 1979 3/4 ton Suburban and liked everything about that except the gas milage. I was driving a long way to and from work and just had to get something I could afford to put gas in. I had several various cars and even a couple mini vans. But as I am sure you all know, there is just nothing like driving a Chevy Truck.
I have been watching for a Chevy Tahoe 2dr model for the last couple years. I actually found one for sale only about 30 miles from home. COOL!
I looked at it, test drove it and fell in love with it. I bought it and drove it home that day.
So I now am driving a 1997 Chevy Tahoe 2dr 4wd with the Z71 Off Road pkg and the rear "Barn Doors".
Except for the color this is almost exactly how I would order one if I had the opportunity.
It has a lot of miles on it but was very well cared for. I bought it form the original owners so I know it was treated well through its life so far. The gal that owned it drove it to work most of the time so that accounts for all the miles. It looks nice and the interior is in good condition. Everything works.
So finally after many years when I drive down the road I actually have a Chevy truck again.
I really feel comfortable riding in my new (to me) Chevy Tahoe 2dr.
The 97 2dr Tahoe is just about the same as the 76 GMC Jimmy I had years ago. Only better.
So now I am starting out detailing some things I want to change. I also am very involved with Amateur Radio (KB9RYI) and will be designing how I will mount the radios and antennas in my new mobile Ham radio station. There is lots of room for mounting radios so this will be a fun project to do.
ABOUT ME:
I am married with 3 children and 6 grand children. I have worked as an Industrial Electrician for going on 32 years. I very much look forward to retiring and doing some traveling around the country. I plan to go through the 97 Tahoe 2dr and have everything up in shape ready to hit the road when I retire.
You got to have a plan right...
Again Greetings to all on board here and I am looking forward to getting to know some of you and who knows maybe even get to meet some of you Chevy Truck owners one day.
So you all travel safe now and God Bless, John
