Thanks guys 
she needs a little rust repair here and there, but all in all, its a pretty nice truck. It runs and drives AMAZING. And thats surprising because it was sitting for 2 years. All we did to get it started was hook up jumper cables, and let it sit for maybe 30 seconds, and cranked it for 3 seconds and fired right up. It needs a few things, like an alternator. lol. I found that out the hard way. I was stranded at the car wash with a dead battery. But today i picked up a rebuilt alternator from the junk yard for $25. The only thing stopping me from putting it in is the bolts are different sizes than the ones from the old alternator. Im not too sure what my plans are going to be for it just yet. Im working on a deal right now to get a nice set of rims for it. Im going to be trading my (running, driving) 86 K10, for a fiberglass jeep tub and frame and some other stuff (including the rims for this truck) and i bet i could get him to throw in a dual exhaust on this thing.
But so far my plans are,
Short term:
Alternator bolted in,
Titled,
Paint, (most likely going to rattle can the peeling parts, until the rust is completely taken care of)
Smoked and cleared head and tail lights, and visor lights (which work, but 2 bulbs are burnt out)
Headers, and dual exhaust
Needs a front brake line too, it rusted away:/
Long term:
Maybe drop a few inches, or maybe SAS. Who knows. lol.
Ive had the diesel itch for a long time, and ive been toying with the idea to drop a cummins in this thing. lol
it wouldnt be a 5.9, thats for sure. Maybe a 4bt.
But now that i think about it, the guy im going to be trading my truck to,
has a 4bt sitting in his garage WITH, a chevy tranny bell housing attached to it!! Im gonna wheel and deal tomorrow with him, so im gonna see what i can get out of him.
