New member w/ a newly acquired 83 GMC Sierra.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Physh1 · 08-05-2003, 08:28 PM

Hey all. I've just acquired an 83 Sierra reg. cab short bed and ventured over this way thanks to Captkaos

. Anyhow, I spend most of my time over a fullsizechevy.com but looks like I may get some more classic information here.

A little about the 83....I bought it recently from fiveeightchevy and plan to do quite a bit to it mainly in the restoration dept and making it a reliable clean daily driver.

Look forward to learning as much as possible.

welcome to the board cameron !!!!

BigRed · 08-05-2003, 10:27 PM

Welcome. It will be good to keep eyes on 5-8's old truck's progress. You will definitely get much more help on that truck here.

C&C Chevy · 08-05-2003, 10:29 PM

All right! Another Okie!

bigblock73 · 08-05-2003, 11:06 PM

Cool man, at least the truck is sticking around!

j/k 5-8!

While FSC doesn't have many pre-88 members, it's a VERY lively forum.

Welcome Cameron.

gchemist · 08-06-2003, 12:42 AM

83's ROCK

Congrads on the truck. They are easy to cut up and weld up.

Just look at mine.

Just take pics and post them.

Izzy · 08-06-2003, 09:10 AM

Welcome to the board and congrats on your new purchase.

Low87 · 08-06-2003, 10:04 AM

WELCOME! I guess I did miss a lot, I didn't know Izzy had sold out. Glad the truck is sticking around, and getting an upgrade with the Oklahoma registration.

**Captkaos** · 08-06-2003, 01:12 PM

Glad you made it over Cameron. Good to see Izzy left her in capable hands.

AirMale · 08-06-2003, 01:21 PM

When can you post some pics of the current state of the truck...we were told to monitor the progress

Welcome

Glad to see the truck go to another person that enjoys these rather than turns them into work trucks

r0lf- · 08-06-2003, 04:51 PM

2 bagged rides? Im jealous!

Drop a nice 350 in that 83 and you'd be set. Oh yeah, maybe some paint

bagged81 · 08-06-2003, 04:52 PM

Looks like it has some potential!

Welcome!

Hehehe. Yeah....bagged trucks are great.

I'm tossing the idea of a zz4 and a built th350. I think that oughta boost the tire roasting ability
