Welcome to the board from South Mississippi!:D My brother used to live in Thomasville, he works for Flowers bakery, he used to live in the trailer park next to that huge estate (the company's owners place I think).

Re: my 79 gmc.. what do u think?
 

wow welcome and nice start! did you do it so far or is that how you got it? Looks like it has the hood crease that alot of these trucks gett. if you did it looks great so far and looks like you put some time in. if not some one did one heck of a start for you. is it on bags?

Re: my 79 gmc.. what do u think?
 

welcome.
I was driving through thomasville 2 weeks ago, going to Moultrie...
small world.
Have fun!

Re: my 79 gmc.. what do u think?
 

well i got the truck like it sits. and yes its bagged. but the only thing im really not going to have to re do is the shaving on the bed. the body work was done right. it has a straight 6 in it with a 3 speed but i already have a 350 with an automatice tranny thats going in it. and im going to change the front end over to a 81-87 front clip. but ill keep posting pics as i progresse. and if there is anyone out there that knows where a 81-87 chevy is that i can get cheap let me know. all i want off of it is the cab and front clip.

I belive switching to the newer front clip will involve some cowle work but am not 100% on that as i know some mods need to be done to switch back to the older front clip. Also being a 81 to 87 owner i know a comon mod is a 87 to 91 suberban or blazer front clip as they are alittle diffrent and require a diffrent rad support and grill and headlights but it is pretty comen to find them and it would be worth doing that now if you like them better. Just a suggestion though eather way it will be a killer truck when finished

Good luck and these guys are great with info and ideas

Looks like a good project... :cool:

Care to share pics of the bag setup and frame mods.

If He gets it any lower Itll be in China.....instead of Jawja...........Nice truck........ I myself like the 73-80 front end on it ...............I like how my 85 front clip looks also.....you just dont see as many 73-80s as you used to

so guys i got a built 350 with auto tranny last week so... the project is about to begin. im looking into getting a new cab for it because the floor pans are kinda "not there" so unless im going to be flintstoning it that has to happen first. but i did pick up me a new welder this weekend so im iching to get started. but ill post up progress pics for those who are interested.

Re: my 79 gmc.. what do u think?
 

Looks like a good project you got there.

Re: my 79 gmc.. what do u think?
 

Looks pricey ($$$), but cool!

I'm saving up for some light bodywork on mine. All it takes is the $$$...

Keep up the good work! :D

Re: my 79 gmc.. what do u think?
 

Damn, that is 1 bad ass project u got there. Glad to hear u got a 350 lined up for it. Are u putting a TH350 behind it or a 700r4? Can't wait to see some progress pics. Ohh yeah welcome to the best board around from MT.

hey I was wondering what company sales a bed cover for the 79 chevys, I want to go with a flush one but i cant seem to find one.

Re: my 79 gmc.. what do u think?
 

looks like a good start..i get dewey eyed over 79's.

Re: my 79 gmc.. what do u think?
 

I love the 80 model year, especially mine, but 79 was the epitome of the entire model run.

Re: my 79 gmc.. what do u think?
 

hey guys im going to replace the cab on my 79 and i was wondering if i can use a cab off of a 81-87 model and will my fenders and hood bolt up? now it doesnt have to be a direct bolt up just close... im not scared of a lil cutting or a lot of cutting....
