Hi everyone, I just bought my first truck, a 1985 GMC Sierra K1500. It's got 87k original miles. The truck originally had a 305 but now has a good wrench carbureted 350 which I was told was a factory replacement. Runs excellent and the rebuilt 4 speed auto shifts great. It was kept in a garage by the original owner and it shows. The body needs cab corners, rockers, wheel wells and some work on the bed but is really solid overall. The paint shines right up. The interior is in exceptional condition except for one tear on the seat. My plan for this truck is to get the body work done and just have fun driving it. Thanks for reading

Pretty fancy.

Can I offer one piece of unsolicited advice?
Save the receipts - all of them.

Good luck!
