Project Duke, 84 GMC-Old school style

[grayharville]

hey yall, I finally got my hands on another square!

Its an 84 GMC High Sierra LWB with 350/700r4/3.08 gears. Has original paint, and power everything.

Heres the story- During school I dated a girl for a few months, during that time I noticed a red and white gmc sitting under a tree behind her house, flat tires, and covered in pine needles. I never asked her dad about the truck, I figured he didnt like me very much. A few months later I got a call from my now ex-girlfriend, asking me if I wanted to buy that truck!

I drove over there and checked it out, her dad came out, glaring at me, thefirst real conversation we had was about old trucks. I told him about my 70 chevy, that i was restoring it, and he seemed surprised that i wasnt the punk kid he thought I was. As we chatted I asked whats wrong with the GMC. He said the tranny was shot, that it constantly kicked in and out of gear. I didnt care, a deal was struck and cash was handed over.

Next day I came back to pick up the truck, this time he seemed happier to see me, and told me that he got it running for me and he even threw on a new battery! Score!

Loaded it up and brought it home... Ill let the pics talk for a bit. Enjoy
