Amazing looking trucks guys!

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

Indeed! Hey, elpound: What paint did you use? I'm going with red it looks like on mine...in a month or so. Just curious what you used and how you gunned it on...?

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

It is 69 hugger orange. Looks a little red in the pictures.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

This is mine. Not quite finished but are you ever?

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

Kerrdog, nice paint I would never have thought of. Super.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

Thanks its three years in the making.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

Quick Question. I recently started a new build on a 68 c20 Custom Camper. Internals and functionality is flawless but the body leaves something to be desired. Indiana truck...what can ya do?

I have an opportunity to purchase a good looking parts truck very close to home. 69 c20. The price is right. Will all of the body pieces fit my 68 c20 custom camper frame? Doors, hood, front and rear fenders, bumpers, bed, etc?

I am a beginner and really don't have the capability of pulling the motor, otherwise, I would obviously do the opposite and just transplant the organs.

Any advice you have would be much appreciated.

Thanks

As long as the bed is the same (short, long, stepper or longhorn), the sheet metal should be interchangeable as far as I know. If you change the front though, I think you have to change the whole clip (fenders, hood, core support and grill).

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

Okay. That is kind of a bummer. I love the clip of the original 68, but I have a large dent under the E in CHEVROLET. The fenders and cab interchanging will be a big help though. Rust free truck without anything under the hood for 350...can't beat it.

Love the 2 tone.Lets see the insides & engine when you get done

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

What rims are those? Im imagining they are custom. What is the width/ bs/ and what did you do to the rear end to get them in there?

They look awesome!!!!!!

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

Foose 17 Front 18 Rear both 8 wide .We cut 11/4 inch off both sides or the rear end

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

I forgot to tell you i have wilwood 4 piston rear ,6 piston front.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

ap2002 Didn't notice you had put something about the truck. Thanks for the compliment. It would be nice for alot of us from the houston and surrounding areas to get together. They have a couple of shows a year in kingwood for classics. I went last year with Original71. He has a beautiful 71.

Here is my 1971 GMC with factory 402 A/C ps pdb 2/4 drop

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

Great GMC It did not look that good new.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

Man, swwweeet! That truck is a beauty.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

Your right on that, didn't look as good new as it does now, nice complete truck.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

Doesn't get a whole lot nicer than that one.....just beautiful.
One of the prettiest color schemes that ever was built.
Certainly a step up from any assembly line product.


Dang!

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

WOW that is one nice truck, like others said it looks better now than it did new...I agree...

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

Wow THANKS for all of the nice compliments, There is some great looking trucks on here

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

I had my rally caps installed today - had to wait for the tire store to get the right lug nuts to install them. Everything is finished with them, except the beauty rings do not match. I'm having another source get me a pair of rounded aluminum ones for the back wheels to match. However, the nice weather today prompted me to get some pictures, so here they are!

El Rondo, Its Gunned Satin. The P.O. did the work, was gonna Rat Rod it somewhat. It does have 3 small dents that were not taken care of before paint. Will take care of them. The P.O. said to his knowledge it was an AZ Truck, and the undercarage and body look the part. Didn't get much windshield time last fall. Winter came early in Michigan, and it still has its grip on us.

The truck came out of the factory with a 327, but has a 350 now and power steering with drums. The P.O. put Firestone winterforce skins on it because he was gonna run it all year but felt it was to nice of a truck to put it through the winter salt on ours roads.
