New to me - 83 sierra classic brown stepper

I became a squarebody owner this weekend. Man I wish GM had galvanized my 71 as well as they did this 83. No rust thru at all. However the top of the hood and roof are completely baked free of paint. Thankfully surface rust is brown. 305 700 power everything. I tore into the interior to clean and fix a few things. Sorry for the sideways pix.

Nice truck! Looks like it has a nice rear bumper too. The brackets for that bumper are hard to find if you had to buy them.
