Hey all, I've been lirking for awhile. Good stuff on here, thought I'd join the party.

My name is Ben I'm almost 30 and I have an 86 gmc shortbed that was used on a farm it's entire life until about 6months ago when I got her. I put $400 in new brakes and a carb rebuild. Nww it runs like a top, I have big plans for her but as for right now she's just a farm truck/ daily driver.

-doing a 4/5 drop
-rally 15/8 and 15/10 out back
-steel cowl hood scoop, sport rear bumper and sport side mirrors
-350/350 shift kit, positrac
-paint will be a suprise... I hope to have something completely different than anyone else but still has that simple clean look. should be sweet. that's it for now! let the good times roll..

It's good to hear you have a plan of attack for building your truck . Sounds like your well on your way with the new brakes .

I like your priority , Safety issues 1 st

absolutely.. she's gonna be a driver. I've had a beauty queen before and it's fun but not as fun as being able to fix'er while I drive her.

Had an 03 harley ed f150 and an 83 el camino prior to that. the elky was a driver also. good to be back to that.

I will post some pics of it stock and start a build thread next week. I'm going to my dad's house where he has a lift so I can easily do the suspension.

Until My gf chooses what convertible she wants the truck is my daily driver which I'm cool with for now...
