Welcome back and congrats on your acqisition. Try any of the board members for your parts. Such as brothers and gmc pauls. They will have what your looking for. Its pretty much go over it with a fine tooth comb. Check the brakes and suspension carefully. To make sure everything is in working order. How well did they maintain it? will help in what you need to do. Like I said look it over and if you see something that concerns you ask us for advice.

The mechanicals on these trucks are a breeze. I'm assuming it has the trailing arm with coil springs rear suspension (since almost everyone has seen leaf springs). It's a good riding setup. Check the trailing arms for rust between the 2 pieces. I've seen them rust in two.

The most $$$ you will spend is fixing rust so get one with as little as possible (advise I wish I had taken...)

Good luck, Rg
