81 GMC Stepper (AKA "The POS", AKA "The Beast")

[hobsiscool]

ok, i've posted a few times on here, i'm finally getting into the meat of this truck...I have piles and piles of parts starting to mount, so i'll start a build thread...

Specs: 1981 Gmc Sierra Step Side...4.1L I6...I've swapped my integral head for a 1967 non-integral head...it was rebuilt and had hardened valve seats installed...I've installed a set of Langdon's headers, a Offenhauser intake, and i got a Holley 390 off of eBay and rebuilt it...i'm so close to getting it running again I can taste it.

This past weekend, I removed the bed, and i'm in the process of taking it apart, rusty bolt by rusty bolt...I'll be able to salvage the fenders, and the bed front and sides, and the tailgate...i'll need new strips, and a new rear cross piece...i've also got rust in the normal places...rockers, corners, etc., but i've got about half of the patches that I need, so when I get a free weekend, i'll begin on that.

I'll post some progress pics that I have as of now, it's gonna be a slow build as my wife thinks my truck is a tool sent by the devil, but she knows she'll like it once it's complete (if ever)...

Let me know what y'all think!
