Hello from Canada!

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.
