Keeping factory parts whenever possible, no spray texture paint because it doesn’t look like factory.

I’m considering buying this. The interior is in great shape. It has a few tiny rust holes as you can see but the paint is cracking all over the body. They want 9500 I only have 8k

I have a 1984 GMC K-2500 with a 350 SBC engine. While I’ve been slowly restoring the engine, a few days ago, I noticed smoke coming out from the area between the valve cover and the exhaust manifold. Do you think that is an issue valve cover gasket or exhaust manifold gasket (area in red circle)? Or something more? Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge and experience

Just picked this up in exchange for some stonewall work. 68,000 miles, basically one owner, he bought it from a Chevy dealership that used it to plow their lots for a couple seasons but he never plowed with it after that. Dump and four wheel drive work, runs good, fires right up. Some rust on the bed supports but it’s heavily undercoated and was stored inside Any advice is welcome, this is the first time I’ve driven one since my dad’s old Custom back in the 90’s. Also any idea of value? I need a number to decide how much work to make us even

Hey all, don’t see any longform videos on Reddit, but would love some feedback on my overall thought process here. Not sure if I’m thinking about this in the right order or in the right way, but would love to get this thing on the road and looking good as fast as possible.

Should we take a wager on how much this is gonna cost $3k, $5k, $10k, $…k?

P.S. I’m still learning all the parts and terms etc! Feel free to correct me! It’s welcomed

Does anybody know if these vent windows are supposed to swing open or remain only closed? I havent been able to get them to open. And dont want to break them. Thanks in advanced

1991 Chevy Suburban. The vehicle runs and drives. Only parting ways due to accumulating too many vehicles so one had to get cut. Could use some work here and there but is still solid for its age. Located in Ohio for anyone that’s possibly may be interested. I have no set price in mind just shoot me a DM for logistics

With Squarebody Diesel owners being a small (yet growing) minority, it is only appropriate that a dedicated support subreddit finally be made.

r/GMDetroitDiesel is that solution.

Please feel free to post about your vehicle/s, what you have done to it, etc as an introduction post.

Any questions or ailments you may have, this community is for you.

(The support GC is currently full, this is a current solution for now, a new GC will be made shortly)

I recently bought an 87 Silverado from an older gentleman. His grandson decided to paint black primer over the original red factory paint. I’m not sure what it looks like underneath or if there are more issues. If I were to start removing the primer without damaging the factory paint, what type of remover should I use? Can you provide a brand name or a link?
