My brother had a 86 GMC. (He allways has the good stuff.) We built a sbc 400 with vortec heads, peformer RPM intake, 750 holley, 3.73 gears, DR's on the factory truck rallies and a very small cam. Truck would run on 87 with no problem. Had very quite exhaust, primered fender, and a tool box in the back. It would run 8.20's on motor. We tryed nitrous on it, but never did very well with it. Best was a 7.76 at 93. We even hauled a freinds car to the track with it and ran the truck all night then pulled the car back home. I loved that truck. Way to much fun on the street. It was hard to get people to race us because they thought it wasnt worth racing.
