1986 GMC Sierra Classic Resto Build


Recommended Posts

I've owned this truck for quite some time now. A couple years ago I put a new Motor/Tranny in it. Vortec headed 350, 9.6:1 compression (so I can still run pump gas), Comp Cams .486 lift cam, Holley 600 vacuum secondary carb, Edelbrock Performer aluminum intake, 5" K&N air filter, Hedman headers, exhaust, TH350 transmisson. The paint color is BMW Chili Red. As far as audio I'm putting my CDA 9887 in, my RF p450.4 for mid/highs amp, there's already a set of RF FNP 5.25" components in the kicks and a set of RF Punch 6.5" components in the doors. I plan doing 2 AQ SDC2.5 15's in a 4th order blowthrough with 2 RF Elite T1k's.

Enough talk here's the truck. I only got one good pic uploaded because photobucket was being gay and kept locking up after the first pic.

I have a lot more to go before I even start on audio, I got the front bumper, valence, and grille trim ring on the other day. I have a '91 rear bumper to put on, it's going to take some frame rail drilling to make the brackets work but I think it's going to look great on the truck. I bought some cheap ebay "projector" headlights and they suck, so now I'm looking for just some regular clear reflector headlights. I ordered led's for my tail lights, blinkers, reverse lights, tag lights, and side markers last night, hope to have them in soon, I still need to paint my grille, get new tail lights and paint them with a couple thin coats of VHT Nightshades, and find some clear side marker lenses. Along with a very long list of interior stuff to do. So this build is going to take a lonnnnnnng time.

i love those old square body chevies with the 350's in em.
