Ok, so most of you guys know that I picked up a blue, 1985 GMC Sierra Classic 1500 in February. Wanted to start a thread to keep up with the build. Plans are LS swap, 4-link with either bags or coilovers and tubular front end with either bags or coilovers, custom-ish interior. More details further in the thread.
It had about 104k OG miles on it and was a cut-down long bed. Super clean, I have yet to find any rust at all. Most are rotted in the rockers and cab corners but this doesn’t even have a rusty battery tray. I’ve wanted one of these for yearssss, so this one will stay around a while I hope.
This is how I picked it up:
-305/TH350/2.73 peg leg
-PW, PL, cruise (doesn’t work), A/C that works
-Vintage audio headunit (sucks balls)
-gas gauge is accurate though! The never are lol
-Frame and bed were cut down to a short bed
-whole truck clear coated
-4/6 drop
-McGaughys drop spindles and shackle flip with cut stock springs
-worn out parts store shocks
-notched
-New brakes
-20x8 and 20x10 polished torque thrusts with 245/40 and 275/45 Achilles tires, all brand new
-shorty headers and flow 40s with nothing after that
