cjracing15 · 01-04-2008, 03:04 PM

I think thats a great idea.
You can stop there or keep on goin'. From reading your sig, I am guessing that would just be a start... no matter what you say or think now...

BTW, looks good. How about some pictures of the interior?

special70gmc · 01-04-2008, 03:41 PM

ill post a few tomarrow when it stops snowin and rainin

special70gmc · 01-04-2008, 04:16 PM

**LEEVON** · 01-04-2008, 04:21 PM

Nice rides.

BabyBlue · 01-04-2008, 08:22 PM

Real nice find for NY, when I was up there I saw maybe 4 for sale and only one of them was decent. Seeing how it is stock and a 86'...I don't know if it was just my 86' stepper being from cali, but does that still have a feedback carb on it??

**N2TRUX** · 01-04-2008, 08:26 PM

Nice truck special70gmc. I think your on the right track. Yes, it needs a bumper. Beyond that, it's your call.

CLASSIC87' · 01-05-2008, 02:40 AM

Nice truck... I agree with your future plans -- I only see it getting better!

bigblock73 · 01-05-2008, 02:58 AM

Nice looking truck. I like your plans...if it were mine, it'd be

1. Lose all the stickers
2. Get a rear sport bumper
3. Lower it
4. Do something with the wheels...paint grey, or get new ones all together.

Again, nice truck...I'd have a hard time deciding to part with the old one too.

jchav62 · 01-05-2008, 06:26 AM

Nice truck! Looks great...I love the 58 too...SICK!

72BlckButy · 01-05-2008, 09:43 AM

Mr79C10 · 01-07-2008, 01:11 AM

tint, bumper, maybe wheels, no drop, new engine & tranny & gears, caltracs, drive it like you stole it, and watch the faces of the Mustang crowd

streetstar · 01-07-2008, 07:53 AM

Nice truck - will look good dropped a few inches

Those "Heartbeat of America" stickers make me nostalgic for 1989.

Put some stoner style limo tint on it and some Enkei sawblade wheels with 295/50's -- oh, and a pullout Alpine with a "Kicker" box behind the seat
and you have the perfect time machine to an era few care about (LOL)
