Just Bought Another Truck- 80 GMC C25 Camper Special

[Fraser Beatty]

Hey All! So I've been truck-free for almost a year now, since I sold my 61 GMC 930 last summer, and haven't visited the boards much since then. BUUUTTTTT, as you all know, trucks are an addiction, and another one followed me home yesterday. I've now owned 5 old Chevrolet/GMC trucks and 1 Camaro in the span of 4 years.

The newest truck is an 80 GMC C25 Camper Special (I seem to have a habit of picking up Camper Specials, my 79 1 ton was one as well). The 80 has a 350 with the 3 speed transmission with bull low. It runs and drives OK, but is pretty rough and needs lots of work. It has a slow oil leak coming from somewhere, the belts on it squeal like mad, it needs body work on the front fenders, rear wheel wells box floor, hood, and driver's side sill/rocker, as well as major interior work and a windshield.

Plans for now are just to get that ugly cap off, and then either try and flip the truck, or maybe keep it and fix it up just enough to get it through safety and use it as an old beater farm truck.

*Note the original maintenance schedule and warranty found in the glove compartment*
