Re: 1980 gmc original vs modified HELP!!!
I had thought about taking the motor out and freshening it up, make sure everything is ok inside and maybe do a cam swap. When I got the truck I drained everything right away and put fresh fluids in it, motor runs awesome. Would still need to figure out what to do with my other motor if I went that route, buy another truck? Lol the guy I got the gmc from has a 60's chev swb and lwb as parts truck 48 beer and I can have them both p.s. Sorry this is all clumped together sent from my phone

You have the opportunity to pay for a truck with beer? The you need to take that great opportunity.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You have the opportunity to pay for a truck with beer? The you need to take that great opportunity. trust me the thought has crossed my mind many times about getting the two truck but i dont have room for them, he also has a 1966 chev lwb 4x4 i really wanted that but after he sold me the 80 for 100 bucks he decided he needed to make some money and wants a grand for it, would have been a fair price providing it hadnt been flooded and every anel n it wasnt rusted out |

Re: 1980 gmc original vs modified HELP!!!
Keep it stock and make it perfect, IMO. I'm all for modifying these things, but I would only do that to one that someone else has had their hands into already. An original low-mileage one like this should be kept stock and cruised, if you ask me.

Re: 1980 gmc original vs modified HELP!!!
i think im going to keep it all factory besides dual exhaust, i would like to put a set of cragars on possibly but id keep the original hubcaps and rims, and i also want to put a chrome sport bumper on the rear to match the front, that factory silver bumper sure stands out
oh and im thinking of pulling the motor this summer and go over it replace gaskets and repaint it as it has some paint peeling, as for my other motor i think i will just put it in my 67 for now so i can drive it until i can do an ls swap |

$100 says the built motor would handle it.

Re: 1980 gmc original vs modified HELP!!!
custom i was lucky to find it for sure, those other two trucks are a lil worse shape wise but could make one good body out of the two, and i think im going to stick with the factroy motor, maybe put a cam in it when i take it out to go over it and put the hot motor in my 67 chev c10
