1984 GMC LWB

Bought this about three months ago for $900. It has a 350/ 700R4. It was sitting at my buddies house for about a year. He was having a fuel delivery issue. Just got it running again. Dropped the fuel tank, replaced the sending unit, and replaced all the fuel lines. Could not get it running right because the hamonic balancer mark TDC was at 12 o'clock vice two. Replaced the harmonic balacer (to match the gauge on the timing chain cover), carb, distrib, radiator, hoses, and a few other things. Running good now. Time to do the brakes. Right front locked up when I took it for it's test drive.

Thanks for the welcome. It's pretty solid. Has a few spots from sitting for so long. Nothing major.
