Thanks man!
Well lets see. Got this truck when I was 16, now I'm 36. Currently has a Mr. Goodwrench 350 and Super T-10 in it.
Got it painted and rebuilt the suspension about 10 years ago and ever since then I have kind of lost interest in it because it didn't seem like my good ol' truck anymore. Kind of hard to explain but it just wasn't as fun as it was before that.
But I have decided recently, after having to drive it for a week while my daily driver was down for repairs, that I need to get some stuff done to her. Mainly disc brakes/suspension (gotta lower it), rebuild the bed and I want to redo the interior back to a bench seat, stock champagne color and I might go completely nuts and put it back to a 3 on the tree.

Oh and I need a pair of 6 lug aluminum slots (like what I am seeing in your avatar?) to throw on the back to give it kind of a old gasser/funny car feel.

And I have hundreds of photos of her but 99% are old 35mm. Guess I need to take it out once the snow is gone and get some with the digital.

Sounds like a cool concept. You need to check out my build thread..... data on the wheels and interior repaint too.

Good luck, keep us in the loop.

Cool truck, welcome to the forum. The wheels look like vintage Astro Mags. It looks like it just stepped out of the 60's.

I have no idea what brand they are. I got a great deal on 6 of them on the all mighty ebay a few years back, dude had them laying around still in the box! I love 'em. Incredibly heavy though.

Welcome to this great forum.

Let's see... 36-16 =20, 2011-20=1991
I can't tell what year, so I'll go with 1965.

1991-1965=26.

The truck was only 26 years old when you got it.
No matter how board you get with it, don't ever get rid of it.

I got rid of mine when it was only 22, and I really regret ever selling it.

i agree, love the smoothies...needs a thicker tire though, IMO...and it's a 4-5-6 truck, instead of 63

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 
It is a 63, I know why y'all don't think so is because the A piller isn't raked forward, but 63 was a split year for GMC. The reason for the low profile tires is so that I can still make turns with a stance like this and the front is still going to be dropped another 1_1/2".
