I recently purchased a 1984 GMC Sierra 1500, I know that Squarebodys made by GM are pretty much the same besides the badges and I was wondering if i would be considered "wrong" if i put chevy emblems on my GMC truck, I simply like the bowties and prefer it more, Let me know... thanks
hey I’m new here and I’m really trying to find out more about my truck. It’s a single rear wheel 1982 c30 (supposedly) with 4 speed Manual and a 350 under the hood. It used to be a refinery truck so it did a lot of idling in its life. But I am curious, when I look up the VIN it says it’s an 82 1...
Hi all, so I've noticed something on this truck I am new too. Here are some details of whats happening. Any thoughts?
So basically were were driving in 4hi-lock since we got it... Guestimating about 150miles. We discovered that we have an NP-203 transfer case and it's a full time transfer...
Well, hello there all the folks who are life savers and headache averting pool's of knowledge. I've been lurking for quite some time, and finally decided to create an account and take a more active role in being a part of this community, even if it means doing the stupid things that others would...
Hi all, I'm new to the forum here.

I picked up myself a 1974 gmc k25 about a month ago. Its got a 350 block, and sm465 transmision and an NP203 transfer case, not sure whats in the diffs. Again I'm very new to trucks. Most of my experience has been on my grandpa's...
Hello all. Name is Matthew and was given this forum link by a friend and decided to join.
Recently inherited a 1985 GMC K1500 from my Grandfather & was told to show it off here as some would appreciate seeing it.
He rescued the truck from a junkyard outside of Belton, Texas and spent his last...
I'm looking at an '89 GMC Suburban. Very clean, only issue is, I hate the late GMC grill style. So my question is, is it easy, hard or impossible with chopping and unique tools to do a 'non-invasive' (No major cutting) swap to, say, a '81 GMC grill? or an '86 Chevrolet grill? how different are...
I wonder if anyone know what is the color code of GMC logo emblem because i want to restore my sierra grande emblem but don’t know wich orange to pick. Thanks you.
Anyone know where i can find a gmc grill like the one in the first picture? I have a chevy one on my truck in the second picture but I like the gmc look better, can't find one anywhere
Have a 1979 GMC 1500 with a 350. It sat for 18 months and when I took it out, there wasn’t much power and full throttle didn’t have much pick up. Changed out a rusty tank, went through the carb and now it starts barely with full throttle, runs for a few seconds and dies. Carb is full of fuel...
Hello,
I’m no mech, so please bare with me. My smog pump froze on me, so I replaced the belt to run the alternator solo.
After a jump, it idled for a good 20 minutes then I shut it down.
Picked up a new battery from Napa and it fired right up.
The next morning I go to start it, click or pop...
So, at my Boss's house there is this 78 GMC Jimmy High Seirra. Used to be his daily, but then got a new truck, and now it sits collecting dust. He said it ran and drove a little over a year ago, still runs good. I'm thinking of buying it.
350, with a edelbrock performer intake and edelbrock...
I'm looking for some insight on whether or not I should bed line my truck bed or not.
I have an 86 GMC Sierra k15 shortbed. My bed doesnt have a dent in it at all, no rust, but it is shiny bare metal in the back from 35 years of use. Now I can't much stand the plastic bed liners that just pop...
Scored an 1986 J code 6.2 Detroit Diesel no ac Engine for the future power plant for my 1984 gmc k25. New Donor power plant has 180k mileage so not that to bad. My plan for the swap was to tear down to the block, inspect the heads, slap it back together with new gaskets/seals. Most likely get...
The first time I was in this truck was before I can remember it just always existed as far as I knew, it was my grandfathers truck, and the only one I ever knew him to own.
The last time it was on the road as a daily driver was in 2001. I was the last passenger it had in it during that...
Can anyone give me any Information on a bracket that's located on the passenger side kick panel in my 1978 GMC wrecker that I'm rebuilding, because I've never seen one in a '73-'87 squarebody before. I've Googled, asked people I know, etc. and have came up empty handed. I would greatly...
Hi!
My name is Ed, and I'm new here. I fell in love with square body's as a kid when my dad bought a K5 Blazer, and that love was reaffirmed later when he bought an '87 GMC Sierra K25. I currently own a '87 GMC R3500 dually. Its and old dump truck (doesn't have the dump bed any more). It...
Hi all, got a '84 K3500 with 6.2L Detroit that I just can't seem to get to start. Here's what I've done so far. Bought it off someone, didn't run, he reckoned it was the IP. I put in a new starter, fixed the glow plug circuit, put all new glow plugs, cleaned injectors with brass brush and...
Hello every body! I am new to the site but it is the best thing that has happened to me so far! Its awesome, you all are.
I am taking on a full restoration of a 1974 gmc k20 that i saved from the junkyard for a price of 50 dollars. Its no gem but is not just the average rusty squarebody! It was...
...by another "new" guy. Long time lurker, forgot I hadn't posted an intro. I'm here to learn as much as I can soak up. I have a two-owner '77 GMC 1/2 ton 4x4, factory 350, Muncie SM465 with a NP205. I purchased it in '85 from the original owner who is a friend (so I know the history), and...
I have an 84 GMC Sierra. The passenger door handle has become difficult to open from the interior. When you pull the lever to open the door to exit, its extremely tight. In fact, you have to press the lever closed, as it does not retract. The exterior button on the door handle is fine.
Any...
