Re: Hello!
Forgot to add some details. Its got an I6 and a 4spd. Bought it for $700. Ran like crap when I drove her home. I thought it had sucked a valve or something so I started digging in to it and found theat a rod had jumped off the lifter and rocker. was sitting nicely in htere so it wasnt touching anything. No damage. Put the rod back in place and she runs great!
New fuel pump nad a carb kit and its off to work we go

Re: Hello!
The body is in great shape, no rust spots to speak of. But the wipers dont work

Re: Hello!
Nice truck. GMC did have an electric wiper option, I got mine years ago out of an old power company truck. Do a search here there are a couple of threads about using back window wiper motors for the conversion, much cheaper than what the aftermarket guys are charging. Looks like it would take an afternoon to fab and install.
