So I got a 1985 GMC short bed reg cab 305 th350 truck in a trade. Almost all original 30,000 mile local oldmans truck. Had old aluminium star wheels and dual exhaust so I had to get factory 8 inch ralley wheels and 235-75-15 Michelin Ltx m/s tires.

Put about 5k miles on that and decided wasn't enough power. Now I have a truck with no engine in it and a built 454 on the stand that every time I walk past it I spend another $100.
