I purchased this truck earlier this month due to a growing need for a secondary vehicle thanks to mismatched work schedules with the Fiancee. Well that and the fact we found ourselves needing a running truck quite a few times this month alone...I wish my '94 GMC Sierra K1500 Diesel was up to the task but it needs a lot of help with the fuel system thus it has been sitting for the past 3 years....Anyways on to the truck in question...

1977 GMC Sierra C25 3/4 ton

355 V8 (Recent rebuild...est 15-20K on engine)
SM465 4 speed manual transmission

That is about as far as i know about it at this time it will be a learning experience just as the Rat Rod is lol. The Fiancee will be driving our '02 Honda Odyssey mini van most of the time from the point the Sierra comes home unless i need the Honda otherwise.

On to the pics...





I do know the truck was equipped with a dual battery set up at one point and is equipped with a wiring harness and tie down points for a slide in camper. What is not known at this time is if i will ever utilize that or not as i do intend on fitting a fiberglass sleeper i have from a previous project that originally came from a GM truck of this body style. But i may keep the stock rear window and seal kicking around in case i do decide to eventually pick up a camper for it. (or build one for that matter...)

Plans as of this time:

Adjust the valves
Clean the carb
Replace the stock valve covers with some Edelbrock ones
possibly order an Edelbrock Performer intake since i had a few extra shifts this month and can afford it.
Replace the door and ignition tumblers
New batteries and heavy duty cables
Modify the dash for a Din style head unit
Install the Alpine digital media head unit from my Astro
Drive the wheels off of it!
