Default Got me a nice old school truck!

I just picked this up yesterday afternoon , I finally sold my bronco and bought this. I like it a lot and its nice. Its a 1983 GMC 1500 has a litte sound system, 355 , long tubes , posi rear with 3.73 , small cam, sitting on some 22s , its lowered the right way, brand new spray in bedliner. Interior is kinda like a maroon same color as the bronco was , clean.

Only thing it's missing is GOMEZ on the back window.

J/k nice truck, looks clean. Bring it by the shop and get the hood painted. I like the big wheels on it but that design sucks.

It needs a mural painted on the tailgate, depicting the truck in some paradise background. Selena portrait is missing from the hood too. Luckily, these issues can be corrected at any flea market with an airbrush booth.

I dig the old square trucks, but this one needs some de-customizing to look better

Nice. I am with the majority. Will definitely improve once the hood is painted and the wheels are gone.

Definitely love the "box" trucks

I'd ditch the chrome door strip too if they can be removed without tearing anything up. And...the pinstripe!

Agreed, just a little work and she's ready to roll! Congrats!

My dad has a dually frame you could put under it. Short bed, one ton dually would be sweet. You would have to shorten it thou as it's for a 4 door. He also has a set of Welds that came off of it.
