Making the trucks earn their own upgrades! LOL

Re: 1964 gmc 1000

for some reason i always get a laugh out of how much people dislike something about my truck like the gas tank that thing sets anger off in people and i just love it LOL.

this pic just reminded me of a time when my ex had a friend over and i started my truck while i was working on it in the garage and her fiend is all wow its so ugly i didnt even think it ran... hahaha

Re: 1964 gmc 1000

Re: 1964 gmc 1000

still hoodless but making progress on the hood

finely getting this side built up this was the side with the dents from crashing into the house when i was moving the truck without breaks no wonder i hit my house so much lol...

and i know i'm probably just smoking something but i swear the truck is faster and runs better without the 200 pound hood lol! I love the view it gives you to you can see for miles down there without the hood in the way.

Re: 1964 gmc 1000

maybe when i retire this truck to the garage queen ill set it up to be hoodless and run some dual exhaust derby style straight out the top.

Re: 1964 gmc 1000

so the radiator in the 64 finely kicked the bucket had to cut out the radiator support to get the 1960's radiator to fit i also had to remove the fan and add an electric fan.

vw hood handle.

org mirror arm.

and my latest idea i have noticed the truck dose respond better with the hood off deciding it was because it could get fresh cold air so this is a 1960 heater box im going to make into a fresh air intake almost got it all mounted up.
