Here's a new pic of mine since I lowered it. I know it's ugly as hell but I like it. Waiting on a new gas tank to arrive to go get it aligned.

Well, after blocking it out a 100 times and totally destroying my shop it white now, waiting on new trim to come, new tires will go on shortly and will polish the wheels...getting there slowly

Looks good!

Been a lurker here for a while since I acquired my truck. I have been threw over 70 vehicles but this is my first square body. It is a 1982 GMC, 454, th400 camper special model. It was parked in the field near where I live and used as storage for the last 7 years because the ma did not like the gas mileage it would get

After spending a bit of time on it in the field I made an offer of 200.... two hours later I drove it home. 97k original miles, ruby red fluid and structurally very sound because we do not use salt in northern Nevada. Truck spent it's whole life in a small town. I tuned it up, changed a few things, new belts, hoses, the usual. Nos Delco cap n rotor and an Accel HEI coil. Then I proceeded to pile on 1400 miles of a solid 10 miles to the gallon driving it up to the northern US. I know some people do not like toppers but I wanted one. It was a pain finding a classic one that was actually built for my truck but I think it looks appropriate. I love my truck and take a lot of comfort in knowing I can survive a crash with a camry and easily drive away should it ever happen. Now come all the little upgrades I can throw on from the 88 thru 91 Subs

What brand of lift did you go with? I have a Cummins on mine also and I need to find a lift that will handle the weight of the motor and not sag so much.

Thanks I will look into that add a leaf. By chance do you have any pictures of how you routed your exhaust?

UKNOWME · 06-28-2015, 02:23 AM

I know I've seen this truck on here before but today I had the opportunity to see it in person. AMAZING!

Our 1984 Silverado C30 Camper Special 3+3 tow rig we traded an engine for 12 years ago. 6.2 with a SM465, power windows and locks, Goodwrench engine. Bought it here in South Carolina, then drove it several times up to Delaware (hauling our cars) when we moved there, then did the same thing again from Delaware to Atlanta, and the same thing from Atlanta back to Columbia. Reliable workhorse.
