86 GMC project

Rust free Az work truck,no options but a/c! 305 is coming out for a 355 roller motor!The turbo 350 is getting freshened!Bed floor was cut out in the center by p.o. for a bagging project.Installing new bed floor,driver door is junk.Very very rust free cab,lotsa little dents here and there as it was a work truck!
