We have the 1999 Yukon we bought almost new. It ain't going anywhere. Last of the real 350 engines. Although I do like my 6.0 LS in my pickup.. mtmuley
Almost done with my son's first truck

I had a ‘89 short box just like that in high school. Ended up doing a 383 Stroker with a 4” lift and 35” tires.
Jet black, shaved door handles and mirrors. Fun truck, I’m sure your kid will have a blast with his as well.

Thanks. We sat in the floor with a volt meter and confirmed every wire, then again when it was all installed. At the same time we were helping a buddy of mine LS swap his 77 Trans Am. My son helped strip and repin that one too.

Love them 90's chevys. Had one identical to your sons sane interior and everything. Ran like a raped ape with over 300k on it. They don't make em like that no more.

Said it before I'm so jealous of you guys not having to worry about salt destroying your vehicles. I'd never own anything but a 90's silverado again if I didn't have that issue.

I prefer that style myself. I had a 92 extended cab. I like the flat grill and squared off dash.
The Yukon has been a great rig. Hauled dogs and kids all over. Still hauls dogs but mostly sits in the garage. It is in excellent condition. Gonna keep it forever. mtmuley

I've still got grandpa's '98 in the garage. Champagne taste and beer money. Someday.

I hear car shop coming back into high schools, I hope so.
I grew up like most drive it fix it. I bet a lot of us did short blocks in driveway with nothing but ratchets and wrenches. At 3/4 Century old, L2-L5 back fusion last year, no way I am getting onto a creeper. Now it's pay.
Wire harnesses are such a joy, I used masking tape and labeled every wire tested and confirmed. Looks like hell but better than memory. I had harness short out, my own wiring magic. Yes, you do have to use fuses and or breaker at times. Who would guess! It was 64 Sport Fury Convertible with 361 Commander unbadged from factory. Damm wish I had it today. Seafoam green.
