One SEXY 34 year old!
 

Perv!!! :ror: LOL, it is a 1977 GMC High Sierra I picked up from a guy in Cali, now I just gotta get it to Louisiana. My plans are LS3 376/480 e rod engine and a 4L85e trans. I will be replacing the wheels with some American Racing Salt flat wheels 20'' in the front 20'' in back 4 -6 static drop.

I am looking to build a clean cruiser that I can jump in drive to Cruising the Coast and the drive it home. I am shooting for good to great fuel mileage with all the creature comforts of a new truck like cruise, A/C, heat, great sound system but all in an old 1977 GMC High Sierra wrapper. I will be replacing the 12 bolt with a 9 inch rear, Detroit locker and big breaks all the way around. After all 500+ horsey power should move this old girl along good. I learned what not to do after the swap on my 1976 Jimmy High Sierra and this one should be fun! look for up dates soon. First thing is first I gotta get it home and spit it and see what all I will need to make it happen.

Damn, nice truck.

Re: One SEXY 34 year old!
 

Not my favorite color combination, but super super clean.

It's already got a little bit of a drop going on (not stock ride height).

Congrats!

That is sweet

Re: One SEXY 34 year old!
 

I luv the truck! R U sure U want to do that, to such a clean truck!!! I know of one that U can alter it all U like and want feel guilty!!! Yo, truck though, of course!!! LOL

Re: One SEXY 34 year old!
 

what is stock ride height

Re: One SEXY 34 year old!
 

FN Nice!! Seems the tans/browns in a two tone are pretty hot currently. Must be nice to have one that just needs a drop and big wheels. The wheels will look great! Lucky you!:metal:

Re: One SEXY 34 year old!
 

Very nice! I actually really like the color combo. I agree with the earlier post that it looks like it's already been dropped at least 2-3 inches front and rear. Personally, I wouldn't change a thing. It looks perfect as-is.

Re: One SEXY 34 year old!
 

wow is that a clean one...too clean for me lol

Re: One SEXY 34 year old!
 

Very clean!

Re: One SEXY 34 year old!
 

pretty sweet, I would never thoight that color combo was nice till I seen Cromaholic's truck, I think the color's are awsome.
I'd go with white bumber's.

Re: One SEXY 34 year old!
 

Yeah buddy that's sexy allright. My 78 is like that but hs the ugly maroon color in the middle. I reckon ill be painting the middle white one of these days.

Re: One SEXY 34 year old!
 

Thanks!

Not my favorite color but it is clean and yes it has a 2''-4'' drop with front springs, hangers and shackles.

Thanks guys!

Sure that is why I bought it. Why would it feel guilty about making a nice clean truck into a freaking awesome street rod?

I have looked high and low for a truck like this! I guess it all has to do being in the right place and the right time.

Thanks guys!
Link of said truck ?

Thanks, post some pictures when you are done with yours.

here's a link to the original builder.

Re: One SEXY 34 year old!
 

I have seen that truck before on here it is clean for sure!

Re: One SEXY 34 year old!
 

that truck is sweet those colors are perfect imo !!

Re: One SEXY 34 year old!
 

Nice buy. I was watching the truck on Ebay and considered it but I bought a 65 Malibu recently and am not looking to get divorced just yet. I love the colors but I am biased since one of my favorite trucks was my 78 Cheyenne that was Buckskin in and out. Keep us posted on its progress.

Re: One SEXY 34 year old!
 

Nice truck!!

Re: One SEXY 34 year old!
 

Nice..My 78 is very rough in comparison lol

Re: One SEXY 34 year old!
 

you did good........i gotta soft spot for a lowered two tone.

Re: One SEXY 34 year old!
 

Thanks Bro!
It is better to ask for forgiveness then permission! Mine was not happy. She said Chip another truck to kill the grass!?! I said yeap! Then I said I could be like all your friends husband and become a hunting and fishing fan! Spend 60K on a boat and stay gone finish all the time fishing. She is better now I told her she will love the new truck and now my 1976 Jimmy will not get so lonely.

Thanks!

Got an pictures I have a soft spot for beaters?
Thanks me too!

I think it will look good in front of my Jimmy towing it and the LS3/4L85 with a Ford nine will hold up just fine. First thing first get it in my hands and spit shine it shipping is not as bad as I figured it would be. My 2011 CCSB GMC Sierra has a 6.2/6L80 with a SF14 bolt that would make a gooooooood organ donor! Whatcha think? :metal:

Re: One SEXY 34 year old!
 

Beatuiful truck and within spitting distance from my home. Now that I'm older and (hopefully) wiser, I'm at the age where a truck of that vintage and solid condition should be left stock. And that's my two cents worth.

Bottom line, do what YOU want and have fun with it.

Re: One SEXY 34 year old!
 

I came up with another idea for some 22 rally wheels in the front and some 24 inch rally wheels out back and of course the wheels will be painted the correct color so the wheels match the body. I also got the badges in for my 2011 CCSB with the 6.2 and for the 1977 GMC that is getting a 6.2. :twisted:

The motor and transmission will be ordered the week after new years I am thinking.

Re: One SEXY 34 year old!
 

You should do these wheels...

Awesome truck bro. Looove the color.

Re: One SEXY 34 year old!
 

Thanks Del, it just needs some finishing touches you game?

Re: One SEXY 34 year old!
 

Any chance this getting moved to the LSX swap section?

Re: One SEXY 34 year old!
 

Sorry, but we cant do that....;) Merry Christmas

Re: One SEXY 34 year old!
 

Do they make these wheels in 20"? I've been looking at wheels and it appears they don't make these any bigger than 17". Nice truck BTW! I actually like the color combo, but not digging the body colored rallys.

Re: One SEXY 34 year old!
 

Thanks Man! Same to you and yours.
Yes they do according to an American Racing wheel rep.

Re: One SEXY 34 year old!
