You live in the rust belt too so I'm sure you've seen what most trucks of that vintage look like after this long. Compared to them yours is pristine.
I know where one is that could probably fit 38's on it's stock, and saggy, suspension.

Steve GMC said:
Is the support in good condition? Any rust or rot at all? Is the grill broken or cracked in any places?

ill check it out again tomarrow, but im pretty sure its 100%
anyways
i did a compression test and all the cyls are between 131psi and 137. now the book says 150 is normal so i figure after 24 years of wear its obvously not gonna be 150. i think those are good numbers to not do a rebuild (other than cam, intake, ect). what do u guys think?
Well good steady numbers are a good sign...
I say go for it!
