Hey everyone, I just bought a 84 Gmc Sierra after months of looking for a squarebody and I couldn't pass it up.
No rust holes except for one spot under the windshield and a couple on the hood and the cowl panel is off in the picture. Also, the body is straight which was a big plus and no dents!

Lol, the 283 is from a buddy of mine who was going to put it back in his '67 impala but he decided to build a 383 and he left the engine to me for an s10 that I was going to v8 swap but I decided to use it for this truck instead. I can't argue with a free rebuilt engine now can I?
and my plans right now are just to get it back and running, lower it and eventually tub it for a pro street daily driver. Between all of that I'll just be cleaning and painting a lot of stuff to make it look nice for cruise nights as well.

Thanks guys, I've had a hell of a time just getting it back home Tuesday and I'm already heading to the junkyard this weekend to see if I can find a new hood, motor mounts, transmission and steering column for the truck. I did see a suburban today with everything I needed, I hope it's there when I go back :)
