83 GMC C35 Car Hauler
Heres a Little project Im working on,
1983 GMC C35 Cab and Chassie, 350/TH400
has been a box truck for all it life i think.
i bought this just as a Frame, Front suspension and a Cab, for the Price of scrap metal.
The front half of the frame and suspension had been blasted and painted 10years ago so its in pretty good condition, the cab has been painted also it has some firewall and cowl rot but other than that its rust free,
i had, doors, Hood, fenders and a rear axle from an old project
Plans are to build a Work/shop truck for my mechanic shop and hauler for my Drift Car.
I want a newer diesel engine, no 6.2/6.5. No Cummins (too heavy). so looking for something like TDI or Common rail engine from newer euro van or truck
Newer rear and to match my diesel engine and want disc brakes in the rear.
has to have AC and CC. so Im looking at something where i can take the entire harness and Hvac system from and retro fit into this
Have not decided if i want to have build the bed like an Wedge style Ramp or a flat bed with small ramp behind the rear Wheels yet.

Tonight mine pulled a few cars out of snowbanks, and is sitting in my driveway, icicles on the grille, wheels just white cakes of snow, buried up to the lug nuts in powder, straps and chains wrapped around the bumpers, the outline of the wipers clear in 4 inches of snow on the windshield... A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.
