87sheerips Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Well, I bought a house and we have a very long drive.... I need something to manage it this winter and also wanted a beater truck to have fun with and get shit done around the house. This is what I got! 1986 GMC Sierra 2500.... 67,000 original miles, rebuilt T400 trans, everything works as it should. Im pretty sure these are 1986 original tires, I have new ones line up tho. Shes rusty and a little beat up but seems VERY solid... Interior is mint also. Ive always wanted and old truck like this, What u think?

shawnss Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 heck yeah the company i work for has a snow removal gig and i get to mess around with the plow truck in the winter and they are a blast. they are diesel and they haul ass moving snow. the owner is a crazy plow driver he wants to get as many done in the morn as he can so he had all his truck chipped up with a few other bolts on. does yours have a SB or BB?

Krambo Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 I love the old 80's style trucks and even the late 70's. Should get some good use out of her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilEz02 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 I really like that truck. it would be hard for me to not pull it in the garage and do a resto on it though. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87sheerips Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 I know, I see myself someday throwing a big block in it and some big tires with badass suspension. I love the mid 80's chevys. I will probly keep this for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
