Hey guys, my name is Zach and I’m from around Flowery Branch, Ga. Just thought I’d join up since I just picked up my ‘85 GMC. I’ve had tons of GM trucks over the years, several NBS (99-06), an 85 K5 Blazer and a ‘70 shorty stepper. Been wanting a dropped square for years to hotrod. I also work at Auto Metal Direct so I deal with parts for these trucks every day lol.

I was looking for a mostly un-screwed with truck and this fit the bill best of any I looked it. Picked this up in NC last weekend. ‘85 with 104k original miles. 305/350, 2.73 peg leg, PW/PL/tilt/cruise, A/C and heat work, just needs some carb adjustments and some tweaking. Was a long bed, guy I got it from had it cut down just a couple months ago. Also rocking a McGaughys 4.5/6 drop with brand new 20” TT2s, new brakes. NO RUST whatsoever. This thing is MINT!

Welcome. I'm not into lowered trucks so I may not be the best person to say anything about it. But to me that bumper does not fit now with the style of that truck.

Looks amazing though. I personally would like it better at factory ride height sitting on factory 15" wheels.

Welcome from TX.
Good looking truck, I like the 2 tone blue.
I've used AMD metal on my K5 build. High quality.

You just want the bumper 'thingies'.

Sweet ride. Nice score.
Best thing about these trucks is they look good stock, lifted or lowered. Just a matter of personal preference.
