I've debated whether to do a thread on my build, because its mostly stock and not too exciting compared to many on this forum. Decided to anyway.

I'm not new to working on my cars and trucks, but I am not in the trade (I'm an engineer in the computer industry), and this is my first real build. My kids are now out of college or will be this semester, so I'm starting to have more time if not extra money to do one of these.

I actually started out building a 4wd 1959 chevy swb stepside and made some progress and collected a lot of parts from a few donors, but thats for another thread when I get back on that one. My dad found this 78 GMC and thought it might be a good donor, but I like this body style and owned a couple like it years ago, so decided a straight restoration might be a better first project than the 59 custom project I originally started.

Enough history. This build is a 1978 GMC K15 High Sierra SWB fleetside that is original as far as I can tell. I has a 350, SM465, NP205, 3:07 gears, came with dual saddle tanks and dual exhaust. This may be a good point to claim that "DirtyLarry" made me do it! I love his '78, but not quite ready for the upgrades he's done. Mine's going back together pretty much stock.

First, I really liked this bumper sticker that came on the truck, and plan to keep it and titled the thread for it.
