86 GMC Sierra Classic. AC, pwr windoww/locks, cruise.

350 4bbl, 3spd, 3.73 gears.

Picked her up for 1000, sold the cap for 150.

The bed was in great shape, I think the cap was on her for the life of the truck.

The box off, the running boards went next. The son loves the ol girl.

Hit the neglected paint with some wax.

Threw some 31x10.50s on her...

Here is how she is presently.

I'm converting the interior to Red/Black to match the exterior, instead of the red/burgundy. I plan on repainting her original colors the paint is old and she has a couple of rust spots along the bottom.

BTW: Some beautiful trucks on here!!!

The tires are 12-16.5, They were put on the truck in 1982. It came with the old tire sales slip still in the glove box.
