1985 gmc c3500 3+3
Well last week I acquired (well actually the fiance' acquired) a new truck in the fleet. Found a 1985 GMC C3500 3+3 on craigslist about a mile and a half down the gravel road of all places. It's got the typical Midwest rust, but the underside is still pretty solid. Has a crate 454 with roughly 25,000 miles on it and rides like a caddy down the road. It needs a few small things like the exhaust leaks fixed, a good washing, and some lights replaced, but overall a pretty decent truck. It has power windows, locks, 4 speed, hydro-boost, an A/C truck but doesn't work, gooseneck hitch, and soon to have a bumper hitch. The guys mother-in-law bought it new to pull there 2 horse trailer all over the country to shows. For now I just plan on driving as is until my crew cab is finished. Then on to this one. The fiance' is going to school to be a vet and wants to use it as her vet truck when she's done.

That is a pretty nice truck Mathew! At least you have a lot of parts laying around that might fit it.
 I'd be ditching those hub caps and getting some simulators though.

Re: 1985 gmc c3500 3+3
Went down to mom and dad's this weekend and did some cleaning and found a few items for the old truck. I often find myself asking why do I keep all this stuff from old trucks that have been parted out and now I know why.
