Thank you, it'll look far more sweet when I get into working on it! Tune up is my first priority in all vehicles I buy.

Cool

I can't wait to see more pics.

Here's what mine is going to look like eventually.



The only real differences on the body will be Lumina Z34 hood vents


Diesel bumper and Ronal Type R36 wheels.


Of course, the interior will be kept stock looking but functionality will be on par with a 2012 truck.

That's the downfall of my 90 the cab corners are gone and the rear wheelwells are gone. So just like every other vehicle I've bought up north you end up having to scrap it after a few years cause it falls apart. After spending a week in texas Its amazing how nothing has any rust on it. Maybe ill bring one up when this thing rots away

Yeah it's a shame when I see a beautiful truck from up north and it's completely rusted out. I'm originally from Florida so I'm not used to seeing many rusted cars

Again lucky. it seems like this gen of the C/K series only weakness was the rust. Mine was a plow truck before so it has the corner and wheel well rust but the previous owner was smart and had the bottom sprayed so there is very little rust on the frame

mine (tad more rust on the passenger side)

Hey who cares about the rust, that is still a great looking truck. You need to drop a 350 in it when that 305 goes out!

I want to really bad but i dont know how tricky that can be and i need to find a votec 350. Plus idk how everything matches up, wiring and vacuum stuff. I know it will bolt up to the trans and engine mounts but the rest makes me worry.

the 305 is a good boat motor but when ever thats mentioned its Bust Out Another Thousand.
