So I run across this old guys truck (502 GM crate motor)

[CMACDONALD1]

I have been on this forum for some time now. I usually don't frequent the 73-87 threads but I have to show you guys this truck I just bought. I always seach the classified adds... and see this 85 GMC for sale and don't really think too much about it until I read it has a 502 in it. This gets my attention so I call the guy up and go and have a look. I find out the guy has owned the truck since the early 90's and about 5 years ago went right through the powertrain. 502 gm crate motor, built 700r4 tranny, detroit locker rear diff and dual 3" magnaflow exhaust (sounds real nice!!!). So I make the guy an offer on the truck and he declines so I go home thinking to myself I don't need another old truck as I have three already. needless to say I can't stop thinking about the truck so I call him up the next day and raise the anti but he still declines so I said I really did not need the truck and I understood his stand point. Three days latter he calls me up and asked if I still was good on my offer and I said heck yeah. Now its mine . Here are a couple of pictures of the old truck. It needs some body work but that should not be to bad for me as thats what I used to do for a living.
