1977 Sierra Build

Hey guys I've been on this forum for quite some time now. I joined when I was 15 (23 now) and I bought my 77 Sierra. It was bone stock at the time but had a crate 350 with 800 miles on it which I figured was a perfect starting point. The truck had no rust and was very well taken care of. Anyways I worked on the truck daily and drove it through high school until I turned 18 and the "import" bug hit me and I picked up my first honda and parked the truck for which would turn out to be 5 years. Then the "off road" bug bit and I traded the honda for a lifted 4runner. Finally the "turbo all wheel drive" bug and bought a brand new wrx. All of these cars were fun and I invested way too much money in, but it just never felt right, I missed my truck. 5 years 3 totally different style cars but I just wasn't happy. So I sold the wrx and went and picked up my truck that had been sitting neglected for way too long. Im back now for good and gonna finish this project that I started 8 years ago.

Unfortunately my computer crashed and I lost almost all my pictures but from now on I will be documenting my progress as I go along.

Here is one from when I was about 16 or 17 with my first set of wheels 17's, first lowering 5/7 and beginning bodywork.


Then I upgraded to 20's, lowered a lil more, got a cowl hood, shaved the door handles, emblems, drip rails, bed stake holes, cab seam and started the tailgate.








And here it is as of yesterday got 2 replacement doors cause I want the handles back and finished the tailgate. Im going for a clean looking appearance, nothing to custom.







.

This is the color and look im going for, (not my truck hope the owner doesn't mind)



And thats it sorry for the long story just thought I'd give a brief history of the truck and how its come to this point. I'll make sure to keep updating as I make progress.
