84 Silverado rust bucket - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Picked up a cheap plow truck last month. My 96 Silverado has been giving me problems so I plan on getting this road worthy by winter.

The truck is rusty. Frame is good except for a small piece near the driver spring rear hanger. It has a fisher hydraulic plow. It has a 305 with 308 gears. 4 speed stick and a bench seat, just how I like em!

Doing brake lines this weekend, and I bought a solid bed from a Nevada truck for 500 bucks.

The truck has a 4 inch lift. I may buy new tires soon, and am torn. It has 31s now and that would met me the best mileage, but would those tires look too small? Would 33x10.50 or 32x11.50 look better enough to be worth the mpg loss? Pictures may help!
