The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Say it like it is Rick....:lol:

Actually the person who created that pale blue Dually thing on the previous page should also be in line for Ricks justice....:lol:.....IMHO of course;)

To me, the only capital crime is squishing 'em. Then again, most of the time, I see art where others don't. So, that's CLEARLY "IMHO".

I was just thinking about this when I was paging thru this thread. I like low and wide, stockers, patina and shiny.
I seem to like 'em all. But, for the dream-one in my garage, there's "too radical" in all of these categories (even bone-bone-stock).
But like I say, that's just for my taste.

That's also what's so cool about the differences we bring to these sweet trucks.

those gm choke deletes are bad@$$!

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks

I'm truly inspired by anyone with the will & vision to do anything to OLD trucks.
its to easy to buy new & make payments.

I cant find anything I dislike on this entire site!!!!!!

You all know... you are among the people... whom... like it or not enjoy a classic! any shape or forms you can find something that peeks your interest, maybe its not the whole project, but just something that you can agree on that fits the bill!

Just a FYI.............. that's what makes this site & all of us.......... family!

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks

last I checked this was a thread for pics, not truck bashing.... my dad taught me at a very young age that if you don't like someone's classic car or truck then keep your mouth shut.... it looks to me like some people never learned that lesson.

I have always been partial to the body style. Over the next few months tearing into her again and doing some more. Suspension, brakes, bed wood and seat.

To make my truck look closer to yours..:metal::metal:

I want it to look like a truck like I would have seen or built in the late 70's. The truck drives pretty good but stopping and handling suck with drums and stuff. I am not cutting this truck as much as I want to have my front bumper touch earth, its not gonna happen.

Top priorities are:

Front disc brakes, drop spimdles,new suspension and lowering springs. I have static dropped mini trucks before and I really wanted to go with bags but it is just not in my budget. Probably ECE 4.5/6 drop and brake kit from them. I used this truck as a daily driver for most of the past two years and driving in heavy traffic with idiots puckers my butt some days. Gotta get better brakes.

I need a new bed floor, I wripped the old one out a few days ago. Probably going with a kit from one of the vendors.

The seat was recovered probably 10 years ago with red velour and black vinyl. The red is now pink, yuck. Gonna be red and creme tuck and roll. Nice guy down the street that works on a lot of classics and show trucks.

Other than that just a few little things, she runs great and everything else works.

Just a thought; I'd brush the snow off that hood, the weight makes them sag in the center.

^^:cool:^^

Are you wanting fresh bedwood or would you consider some "weathered" bedwood? I still have the red oak I pulled out of mine during the resto. It's still in pretty good shape, but I replaced with fresh ash.

Are you keeping the rallies or do you plan to change wheels?

I am not interested in doing that with this, don't have the money now either. Eventually I would like to switch it all over to 5 lugs and run 17/18 Coys. How much and can you send me some pics? What a pain in the ass to ship wood.

As soon as the snow stopped I cleared her off. We got 14" that day.
