Hard to believe that thing hasn't been restored. Good find man.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

Here is my newest one, I bought this 72 GMC 4X4 last November and spent the last 6 months tearing it apart, sanding it down to bare steel and painting it. I took the bed off, removed every part inside and out including all the glass. I bought just about one of everything in the Classic Parts catalog and some from LMC, replaced the brakes, wheel cylinders, calipers, etc. It was a lot of work but I am very happy with it now! It started out as a brown turd covered with 5 gallons of bondo, I literally filled a five gallon bucket with all the bondo that was on it, whoever did the body work in the past didnt even try to hammer out the dents, they just filled them up with bondo. It has a rebuilt 350, TH350 trans and came with two transfer cases. The PO installed a 4 inch lift kit in it, it is just the right height. It's going to be a fun truck. Here's a couple before and after pics.

6 months !!!!!!!! Wow nice work and quick

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

Wow 6 months you must have had a huge motivational drive on that one not to loose steam. Any Interior pics?

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

I actually thought six months was a long time! I feel better now, I thought it took too long and kept apologizing to my wife for putting up with the smell of primer and paint and the sound of my sander taking all the old paint off! Now she needs to apologise to me for teasing me every time I would say "just two more weeks!" I must have said that about ten times.
I will take some interior pics soon. Thanks! Aaron

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

Here's a few of my 67 project. It has drop spindles and 1 coil off in front, 5" drop springs in the rear. 7" van rallies in front and 9" Rallies in rear. I still have a few thing to do, carpet, finish the "Old Air" unit install and find a usable tailgate.
I would like to run the BOSS 338's in 20" if they ever get the probs worked out......

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

Airspeed and Chuck, you both have very nice, very clean looking trucks. Well done!

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

Thanks for the compliments it is appreciated after all those long weekends building my vision of a hot rod dually (was not easy to pull off), the stance, the bed especially took many times of trial and error until I got the look I wanted.

The wheels by the way are actually mid 70's stock steel chev. w/ Pacific Duallys simulators, not cheap but are the best by far unless u pop for alcoa's or other many brands on the market.

Last 2 pics are Garden Valley Classic, won first place "Best Custom Truck"

Currently adding side moulding, have 1 side done (takes time to do it right)
ill post some updates soon

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

Beautiful work Rushnbobo! That's the cleanest flatbed I have ever seen! Do you ever haul anything on it? I hope you have a rubber mat to cover that perfect bed, I wouldn't even want to walk on it! What is strapped to the steering colum, a shift light? Excellent work!
Aaron

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

Those air hoses are look big enough to work for a dryer! Love the truck :metal:

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

Its funny u ask "if i haul anything" i get that at least a dozen times at every show or cruise

My usual response is yea it hauls one thing "it hauls ASS"

The round thingy above the steering wheel is a autometer digital tach/shift light. Notice it has the original tach 5000 rpm but it will rev to well over 6k and i didnt want to "rack" the needle



Ill try to post some cool dually burnout pics, dont see duallys doing burnouts very often, theres a lot of rubber to turn.

With the 4:56 gears and the hard shifting TCI tranny it will smoke all 4 tires hard in first and the 1-2 shift "barks" the tires again , not bad for an old commercial caltrans truck

Thanks for all u guys on 67-72 chevytrucks for the compliments it means a lot. Ive seen a few other nice duallys here with different look but none the less still cool. Hope it inspires other 1 ton owners there about the potential in these often forgotten commercial rigs.

Don't chop up those duallys and rob the parts for another c/10, be a little different and get noticed in the sea of stepsides and fleetsides.

More pics coming, currently adding side trim '68 , just cause its some of the best looking trim on 67-72 trucks.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

thanks man. the sucker sounds/looks tough going down the road will be taken out the 4 speed 4 a 400 turbo picking up the rest of the parts tomorrow and would like to possibly trade it for a late 20's early 30's coupe or p/u project

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

Ok am I missing something? Other than some wax, what is it that you need to do? Or maybe I should ask, what do you plan to do?

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

I have been looking at this backdrop with an old car wash sign for years. I finally snapped a few pictures of my 71 today.
