1984 GMC C10 acquired for $300

[FreeTruck]

Hello All,

I joined a couple years ago when I acquired this truck, but haven't really touched it since I have two other vehicles needing attention as well. I got it from my aunt, whose health was failing at the time. She offered it to me for free, but I told her I at least had to give her something. It wasn't and isn't running, as she'd paid someone to "tune it up", to which she paid some money up front so they added headers, a new distributor, and were monkeying around in general. Overall it's not too bad in the engine bay, but I do have some vacuum hoses to figure out and verify air fuel spark.
Interior is very degraded but there doesn't look to be any rust in the floors, hallelujah!

Here you go. The body's not bad. I've already gotten a replacement passenger side door, but it needs a front left fender too. It's got little dings here and there, needs bumpers, maybe a tailgate. Overall just lots of surface rust. Since the driver's wing was busted for a while, I figured the driver's floor was rusty as per usual, especially since the carpet was ripped up and nasty looking there. But lo and behold, it's perfect.

If anyone's got the proper taller air cleaner assembly, I need one. It doesn't have to be pretty, just correct.

Wow mine has that crap all over the back of the steering wheel too! Been on there since I bought it... It's just as sticky today as ever. Never knew what it was or bothered to clean it since it didn't interfer with 4 wheeling lol.

That’s a great project truck, looking forward to the progress!

In the middle of changing engine mounts now. I've already ordered new sparkplugs, wires, trans mount, and a steering wheel amongst a few other things.

FoFiddy that's a nice dually you have. There was a neighbor with one just like that down the street from me when I was kid. It was tan and brown, and probably had a 454.

Nice, you couldn't even touch that here with a blown up engine for 3k let alone 300 bucks.

With this little rust, I imagine it would go for more than that. I think I've seen some on the front wheelhouses and surface rust on the rear end and leaf springs, but that's about it. It's really nice. But she ugly lol. She needs a lot.

I suspect you may find more than you were expecting once you get the carpet and padding out that stuff loves to soak up moistier and hold onto it right up against the floor. Mine looked great everywhere but the front fender openings but once I pulled the vinal floor and padding it took a fist sized hole out with it right over top of the cab support on the driver side and mine was stored in a garage it's whole life.

I'm not saying you will but it's a very high probability.
