86 SWB in east tenn.
« on: February 11, 2013, 03:04:31 pm »
Hello all, Been on here for a while but finally going to post. I have owned a lot of these trucks so I'm not new to them either. I love this body style so I got me another one. It's an 86 GMC short wide bed with a 5.0L auto w/overdrive. It runs and drives great but needs a little TLC on the body. I need to get both doors, a right front fender, and fix some dents in the bed but no rust. The plans are a 3/5 drop and a 350 with vortec heads and a small cam. It is my DD so I don't want to go to big with the motor.

Welcome from Central California!

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

Hey thanks for the welcome. I love the site and have learned alot from here and hope to learn more. Can't wait to get some time and extra money to spend on the truck. I also have an 83 z28 that is taking alot of my time and money right now.
