New member here from Northern Nevada. Retired from the Navy a few years ago and decided to look for the truck I've always wanted, similar to the truck My grandfather owned before he passed. After a month or so of searching, I found it. It's a 1985 GMC Sierra with a recently built 496 stroker. TH400, Dana 60 front, NP205, and a 14 bolt rear. No rust, straight body, and just over 75,000 original miles verified through carfax. Can't wait to get started on the maintenance items that need attention, as well as learn some stuff about it here on the forum. Pictures to follow.
