Bought this today.
1986 GMC 4x4 swb, 2" lift.
Totally straight except on small dent above the tail-light. NO RUST, has been in CA until this past year. Clear coat is flaking really bad though.
Kid inherited it from his grandpa (might have been the original owner) and drove it from CA to here and then a little around town since then.
He has no time, money, or interest in fixing a bad tranny (college kid).

It was advertised that it didn't have reverse but all forward gears worked. But when I test drove it, it never got out of first.
Oh well, I am replacing the tranny in the '86 long bed I already own with a high dollar tranny so that tranny will go in this one.
Since I am going to make some major changes to my long-bed, I'll probably drive this one around until that one is done then sell this one.

These are the only pictures I have until I get it home on Moday.
