For his daughter's 16th birthday, Chris Lee bought a '99 Chevy and applied to Driveway Rescue to help get it ready to go and make sure it's safe and reliable. Mike and Pat hopped in the Nissan van full of RockAuto.com parts and headed out to see what they could do.
With Christin's help, they were able to get the brakes and shocks upgraded along with installing new belts, hoses and replacing fluids. This truck is good to go for lots of more safe miles!
Thanks to RockAuto.com and Nissan, we're able to bring the van full of parts needed to help these viewers out. Be sure to enter your vehicle for Driveway Rescue here. #RockAuto #Nissan #IntelligentMobility

It's nice to see you guys helping someone in need of help get their truck back on the road. I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure 3 years ago and have been trying to get my '81 Silverado back on the road because the motor blew a year ago but haven't been financially capable but I'm determined I'll get it done by the end of the summer so I can finish the restoration . I'm not letting this disease stop me. Seeing this gave me the inspiration I've been needing

My first set of wheels is a 1995 Ford F-250 XLT with a 444 7.3 Big block Diesel, with an automatic transmission. That old 1999 is a pretty sweet truck. And the truck is a 1998 not a 1999. The body style changed in 1999 from the older square body style truck. It’s still a great truck we had one and it was great and I have friends they have them and they are old reliable when taken care of.
