Hi all,
Thought I would Introduce myself. I bought a 1 ton rusty 84 gmc dump and found your site while looking for info.
I am going to be 41 next month, raise exhibition poultry and black angus beef cattle. I have had Chevy`s since I was teenager. Had a really nice 70 nova we restored back in 83, sold it when I went in the service, wish I had it now. 327 325hp. I bet alot on here have said the same thing. That was my nicest gm product. I also had a 69 camaro, 70 olds cutlass s with a 455, Inherited dads 72 c20 pickup in 85, 350 4spd, he bought new. Wish I had that back also, lol. Now I have an 89 s10 that I use for silage for the cows and I just bought an 84 gmc k3500 with 350hd/4spd, dump body, fisher plow. It had 54k original miles, has a rusty cab like most do but runs good and should fit my needs around the farm nicely. My plan is to give it a quick restore now, Replace and repair rusted parts and in a few years restore it it right.
I would restore it properly now but we just found out officially today that my wife is pregnant so toys are on hold for now, glad I bought it before we found out, lol. I am still in shock, My first kid at 41 any advice??? I will be asking some technical questions in the main forum. Take care, John
