New Project 77 GMC

Said I wouldn't start another project for a while, but it fell in my lap. Friend of mine bought it brand new, and I couldn't watch it rot. Been parked for 11 yrs. Hope to do a build thread.

I've got one very similar, it's a stepside Sierra Grande. Bought it new.

Good luck, all my rust is repairable and minimal for a 77, except the bed floor is in bad shape, hope I can find a used one. These trucks are getting scarce in the south east.

Those fleetside bed floors are all welded together, you'll have to do some cutting and welding to patch it. Mine's in pretty good shape body wise, but the engine needs a rebuild.

I have a bed from a 81 and 87. The beds are bolted together and have a spot weld next to the tailgate hinge on the bottom.

If this is a project thread, it should be moved in the projects and builds section though. Don't want it to get lost!!

This is not a project thread. I might start one later. Really don't know which way to go yet.

I have looked at your build thread. Great truck. If you look at my fleet of squares, I am partial to long beds.
