Got the GMC started - after sitting way too long. This engine is pissing me off. It's likely the factory 305. Trucks shows 160K on it. Fired right up and ran good. No smoke, no noises, no rattles. Hard to justify an engine swap when the damn thing runs so good.

LH rear wheel was frozen. Wasn't the parking brake - it was never on. Moves fine in Reverse. Pulled it out in 4WD - hammered on the LH rear drum a bit and it would at least try to move going forward. Backed it back in. I just need to move out of the way in the next few weeks to get to the two parts Bronco's I have from the 95 Bronco build I just finished. Need to scavange the few things I want and get them sold. No need to fix the brakes - when it gets moved in the shop it's coming apart.

Still doesn't look too bad. Outer rockers - inners actually look pretty good. No rust through the floor anywhere I can see. At least one of the cab corners and of course the bed wheel wells.

Can't wait to start tearing this thing apart.
