That looks pretty sharp there hessian18. I like the way that bumper looks with that grille. I have thought about replacing my parking lights with driving lights. If you decide to do that, let me know how it works out.

Here's my other buddy's 1982 GMC K2500 that he bought at a sale barn for $400. It has a 350 with a 4 speed/Granny Low 1st. Since he bought it, he has added a set of 35's, dual exhaust that we saved from my other buddy's brown GMC 4x4, clearance lights, visor, and a Moroso air cleaner from his buddy. He told me to post it on here for him.

get aircraft paint remover or something similar to strip off the clear coat thats on them.
sand them down a bit, primer, then paint.

i have had them painted for a few months and no flakes or chips.

May I asked what paint you used? Spray gun?

the funny thing is that i just tried it as a tester and it came out well
so i used the cheapest paint they sell at walmart.
its like the 97 cent can.

but i would have rather used rustoleum.
if i knew i was going to keep it that way.

New guy here. I have always heard about the site but the name threw me off and I thought it was just 67-72's. Anyway, this truck followed me home the other day. I've always loved this body style and in 4wd to boot. And to me the lwb looks better as a 4wd than the swb. But in a 2wd it is a different story. It is a 87, bone stock except for the cd player and duals. 114k on the clock and is very strong. The interior is spotless. This is what sold me on it after I saw it had no rust, no body or paintwork ever and the fact everything works, well that is a bonus. If I keep it i'll jack it up 3in, thow on some wheels and 35's and call it a day. I really dont have any room for it but when you see one this nice and as cheap as I got it, I could not resist. I also have a restored mint stock 79 Z28. This would make a good tow rig. Enjoy, tell me what you think. Sorry for the poor quality pictures.
