Lookin for Local contacts around Reading Pa. 87 Truck project

[Joe1shoe]

Just joined the forum.
I have an 87 GMC Serria Classic 4WD short bed. Bought it brand new from the dealer 22 years ago. We are real attached. I’m sure you know what I mean. I still drive it and use it on a part time basis. I’d like to do a restoration project on it. And I’m looking for some local contacts around Reading and Philly for guidance. I’ll also use the forum, but there is nothing like a conversation with a guy down the road. Or, going over to help him out.

My truck is pretty sound body wise. I had it dealer undercoated when I bought it. Some dents, faded paint, a rusty door, and rotted fender wells. That kind of stuff. I’d like to take it apart and clean up the frame, replace the mounts and bushings. Then fix the body, paint it. And, if I’m feeling good after that. Yank the 305 and put a real motor in it.
