Hello from Canada!

[pophead]

Hi! I recently bought a '85 GMC K1500, cleverly disguised as a ~'79 Chevy K2500!
This is how the truck looked shortly after I purchased it:


The truck was built here in Canada, originally had a 4.3L V-6, and was a "High Sierra".
A previous owner put a 350 in it with an edelbrock carb and intake, diffs from a '74 K25 or K35(14 bolt rear, dana 44 w/big bearings front), and basically patched the truck together so it could roll around. I ended up having to fix half of the work he did.
So far I have repaired, replaced or rebuilt the following:

• all 4 brakes, bearings and seals
  complete park brake assembly(wasn't even there)
  all fluid flushes
  starter
  front/rear bumper
  washer fluid system incl. wiring(also wasn't there)
  complete exhaust(headers/resonators, mufflers coming in summer)
  engine(threw a rod out the pan)
  plugs, wires, cap/rotor
  rebuilt the rochester carb
  clutch(has ms465 tranny, will be swapping out for nv4500 come summer)
  wheels/tires from an '03 hummer H2
  bench seat
  battery
  ~7 bulbs

and more that I can't remember.
anyhow, this is how the truck looks now! I have just started driving it this week!


I will be using the truck as a daily driver.

looking forward to forum-ing here! looks like a great site.
