My daily driver 76 GMC was getting a little rusty,the floors were ready to fall out and the frame was shot. I picked up a 82 GMC short bed frame and cab,87 step side bed,90 blazer nose and what ever else I was going to need and started the rebuild. I took all the parts from my 76 (engine,trans,rear,front susp,wiring etc)and put it in the 82. This truck will be my daily driver so I did not take the time to repaint everything and make it look new,it will be used like a truck should. I still have to install the windsheild,put the bed on and a few other items so I should be back on the road soon,next spring it will get a paint job. I only have $950 tied up in this truck as of now.
