I had a 1986 GMC pickup with a 396 big block with 44" Gumbo's on it. I was wanting to sell it or trade it for something more feasible, and preferably a classic...I decided one day to stop by a house down the road from me where they always had an old classic setting out or in their shop. The more I talked to the guy, I learned that he had this truck which had a new 350 in it and I think it was more work than he wanted. So, I told him about my "monster", and he decided to come take a look. Needless to say, a few days later we traded straight up. It came with all the glass, (need rubber for back glass), fenders & tailgate done & wrapped in plastic and just a few miles on the motor. The previous owner had put the truck on a '88 Blazer chassis, which I wouldn't have done, but all works good. So far, haven't done much besides put a brand new chrome bumper on the front & bolted the fenders on. The floor pans need replaced, as well as the cab mounts, but the rest of the body is in very good condition. I plan to put updates on as soon as I get there. So any advice on floor pans & cab mount replacement will be greatly appreciated. (we do know this is not a '61 hood on here, but it works) And if anyone knows what goes on the front grill, appreciate it if you pass the info along. Thanks!
