Well here she is my pride and joy. Her name is Red Wonder and we have quite a history together. It all started over 8 years ago when a older lady came into my father�s auto repair shop and said that she had an older truck for sale, and since we took care of their vehicles that she wanted to offer it to us first. She went on to explain that her husband bought the truck new in 1982 and it served most of its life working on the farm. Her husband passed away several years before and the truck has been sitting in a barn for 3 years. We agreed to go and look at it later that night. When we got to the barn we found a regular cab 1982 GMC long bed pickup with a 305 and automatic transmission in her. The truck was a two tone burgundy and silver color and looked to be in ok shape. We jumped the battery and actually drove it 5 miles down the road to our shop. The odometer had only 40,000 miles on it and was pretty much rust free. From the beginning we planned to just clean up the truck and make some money on it. But after a few years of work it is as it appears below. We totally stripped the truck down and fixed a few panels and gave her a fresh coat of paint. We up graded her 305 to a new 350 crate motor with a custom bent true dual flowmaster exhaust. We then went on to add a 6 inch lift some American racing wheels and various other goodies.

Here she is right after we first got her done. The windows are tinted, dual exhaust, american racing wheels and 28 inch unioroyal tires that I typically run in the winter

Looks good man, seems to be more a a street queen instead of an off roader. not that she couldnt go off the road though. I really like the black headlights as well as the white/black on your solid front end. She aint as pretty as yours, but take a look at my 82 GM. -Ron
