Soap on a Rope
 

I’m starting a build and thought I’d give this forum thing a try. The truck is a 79 GMC Sierra stepside. The Plan: low and mean, big wheels and a new LS3. I admit they are a bit cartoony but I love that. If that’s what you like, give me a try. Going to be fun and hopefully fast! I’m Totally welcome to constructive criticism. I’m always willing to learn something new.

I've been busy over the last few days. Just to find way more rust than I expected. A couple lessons learned there. But no big deal.

I had truck media blasted and then I primed the bare metal with etch prime.

Why are my photos sideways? And, what do I need to do to post more than one photo at a time?

Time to jump on this grenade. Craigslist 97% of this to alleviate some build cost. It’s on the Knoxville Tn site. I think my prices are pretty good, prices I would be willing to pay if it were me.

That '79 Step was lucky to find you! It'll be cool to see your progress with it. Is there a story behind the name?

Re: Soap on a Rope
 

The story..... After purchasing this truck I find that someone was a Picasso with bondo. So when starting this thread, I had to come up with a name. I couldn't think of anything other than getting screwed. I used to joke that I needed to wear soap on a rope as a tie to quit getting screwed around. And... It cracks me up. A friend told me to paint it Irish Spring Green.

After a couple hundred boxes to go through I think I’m ready to make some sparks fly on the old chassis in preparation for the Chopping Block back half and front drop member. Should be a fun day.

So the last couple days have been just unboxing and cleaning all the old suspension off.
