Pics of my new truck

[83HighSierra]

Here are some pics of the 83 gmc high sierra that i just bought last weekend.i already have a daily driver so i bought this to fix up. I've always wanted one. Im 17 so i really dont know entirely that much stuff so you may see me asking alot of questions, sry. Please take a look though and tell me what you think.








The only rust is on the kicker panels and here

looks like an excellent starting point, in better shape than most trucks have been in when i bopught them. what are your plans for it?

Welcome to the site.  Nice starting place if that is the only rust you have.

 Welcome from New Hampshire as well. Looks pretty decent to me. Whats the running gear etc.?

Welcome and nice truck. That is a good way to get into these trucks. I love that rear bumber...anyone know where I can get one like that?

I forgot to had the pic of the engine bay (below). I have many plans for it but mainly i want to make it look original with replacement parts, for example put a stock radio in it. I just want to keep it simple. Any suggestions on what all i should do and what should i do first? I was planning on using all edelbrock under the hood. Is that good?

First thing I would do is to check out all the mechanical stuff like brakes,steering components,basically anything to do with safety.
Next I would do anything to bring it to stock except the stock radio.

I think all my gauges are off, but i dont know where to get that fixed. but i plan to put a aftermarket cd player in it execpt put it under the seat or where the ashtray is.
