So what's the plans for the truck. It looks to be in pretty decent shape.

Re: My Latest 85 gmc...

well got he majority of the exhaust leaks fixed today , only to find out a collector adapter is rusted to pieces, puled the plugs looking for my miss and i found em all gapped at .035 , instead of the .054 they where supposed to be, otherwise they looked good other that 2 where fouled with gas, so I swapped em for some spares I had to see if that would solve the problem and it did , now she's hitting on all 8, painted the grill and changed a headlamp bulb that had water in it and had lost all the chrome inside. ran out of time to do much of anything else today, won't get back to it for another week.
