Hey guys,

I just discovered this site a few days ago and been poking around looking for anything that can help me with our families old work truck, a 1987 GMC 1500 Stepside.

I will put up some pictures a little later and the videos I have as well of the old truck. Granted...its a little worn out from neglect of other people *cough* family *cough*.

Anyways Howdy!

Thanks for the welcome guys!

Also this is a video of the truck, I have since fixed the smoking issue. It had some clogged ports in the head, which was making the oil run into the cylinders so much to the point it blew oil out the exhaust. It still smokes a little, but no where near as bad.

But the list of things to fix are:

Wood bed replacement
Fuel Gauge
Lights (think my turn signal switched failed and is causing some weird things to happen. Also you can't can't the switch to stick in any postion.
Dash
Brakes (One of the rear wheels keeps getting stuck and makes the brakes a bit touchy)
