1986 GMC C25 Crew Cab Project
I've owned this truck for almost 3 years now so I figured it was time to start working on it. I wanted a 4 door so my family can all fit when we take a trip to Home Depot/Lowes/Menards or a trip to our property. We always have to take 2 vehicles when I use the regular cab "Service Truck". Anyway, just going to get it road worthy, fix it up a bit, but keep it as an actual work truck. Dents don't bother me
It was originally a Texas truck, then went to Iowa for 10 years to haul a race car, now it's here in Michigan. Here is the truck when I brought it home. The wheels and tires that came on it were stolen. The trailer the truck is sitting on was also stolen at the same time. I hate thieves.

Re: 1986 GMC C25 Crew Cab Project
I bought some 90's Ford 16x7 rims and refinished them is white, instead of "Ford Gray". Also picked up a nice set of GMC caps off eBay. I removed the twisted front bumper, busted grill, and rusted out Chevy tailgate, replacing it with a pretty solid GMC gate. I replaced the front side markers and rear tail light lenses from an 88 Suburban parts truck I own.
I stripped and repainted the rear bumper too. I don't have a picture of what it looked like, but it was hideous, trust me.

Looking good. I’m a fan of white steelies and hub caps myself.

Re: 1986 GMC C25 Crew Cab Project
"New" bumper off one of my parts Suburbans and a decent grill I grabbed off eBay a couple years ago. Not perfect by any means but way better than what was on here before.
