New Member with new project
Hi all,
Im new to the forum and i have a new toy. A while back a friend asked me to pull an old truck out of his field so i did and let it set for years. I recently traded it for this 82 gmc, so i basically came up with this project for free. Its got a 350 bored 30 over, newer heads and a small cam. Hopefully I can get started on it soon.

Re: New Member with new project
I'd like to clean up the frame, lower it and keep it mostly stock for now. It's going to start out as a budget build. I'm kind of debating on a paint color too.

Re: New Member with new project
Welcome! I like the 81-82 GMC's and Chevy's. The grille setup is a thing of beauty, if you ask me. I would paint it bright red again and lower it 2/4 or so, kind of a "muscle truck" look is what I would go for. That's just me though. Either way, it's hard to make one of these trucks look bad. Good luck!
