No pics yet but will have monday.
Picked up a 1985 Chevy 1/2 ton 4wd Reg Cab 8 foot bed.\
Got it off my buddy with a bad motor and rotted rockers for $500. Other than that it is a solid truck.
Plans (keeping it simple):
Replace Rockers
Paint the same factory blue (half primer)
Build a nice mild 355
2-4'' lift
33's with the factory rally wheels
Should be a nice build. Guess I will have my time tied up between building my 4-Link on the 99 and gettin this second DD done.
Pics Monday of truck.

09/21/2010 02:31 <danger_ranger83> I'm not really worried about the looks...I want it to be fast and ugly...bc no one wants to get outrun by something ugly
check below bright switch on floor...notorious for going there, and the support braces of bed
blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum
Forgot my camera, but heres two crappy cell pics.
Truck fired up after sitting for a year. Has no balls! Tired ole 305 has gotta go.
Rust factor....just the corners and rockers. Frame is rusty, but just surface, luckily there was a bunch of junk oil in the bed that coated the frame.
Gonna need body bushings and about 20 mouse traps.
