Hello fellow people of the forum. I am David, I have recently bought an 85 Classic Sierra and I have never owned a Square Body, this is actually my first truck. She isn't pretty to look at right now and has some work to be done but hopefully in a year or two she will sit how I want her to! :)

Here are some pics

I bought this truck for $1200 and plan on fixing it up, slowly but surely as I have a really tight budget.

Welcome! Nice project! You will find lots of good advice here weather you are building on a tight budget or can afford to go all out. What are your plans?

My Plans

Well first priority is to get it road ready. I have to replace both front soft and metal brake lines, RF caliper, front and rear pads/shoes, and both rear drums. After that I need to replace the windshield because it is cracked. After I save up some money, I am planning on doing a 350 swap and probably just lower if 3.5/5 and put wheels on it. That is what I want to do it, engine swap is up in the air though. :/
