« on: May 27, 2013, 03:24:07 AM »
couple years ago i believe it was 2009 actaully but i bought a 77 gmc stepside 4x4  with a 350 for 600 bucks well the cam shaft shaved a lobe off and i sold it i regretted it every day so last weekend i called my buddy up who i sold the truck to and he agreed to sell it back to me so as of last night i now have my old stepside back but with a few minor mods here are some pics and tell me what you think :)

here it is when i owned it the first time!






















and here it is  as it sits now!
1 ton axles & 383 stroker motor & 39.5x13.5x16 super swamper iroks

    Are you planning on going down on tire size or leaving it ?  Only ask because tires are really close to those fenders.
