That hood is for a far-off project(louvered 67/68).That`ll go on a`67 GMC Stepside street rod I`m accumulating parts for.It started with a rustfree clip with a nice chrome grille I bought at Carlisle.It`s complete with the verticle "Custom" badges and this was before any GMC grilles were reproduced($275).I bought a nice Stepside bed that day,too($300).I`ve come across a n.o.s. GMC tailgate($150).All I had to do is find a frame/title...little things like that so these parts could become a truck.I plan for this one to have roll pans,tubbed,Dana/60,Polished TTIIs,roll`n`pleat utility buckets,and a nasty big block.I`m thinking black cherry/black interior.
Meanwhile,I got this running,funky`72 short bed in trade when I sold my`68 50th wannabee.I was driving it around,then I started swapping the 350/TH350 from my old`71 CustomCamper,but I just gotta do a 4-on-floor.Once I get that done,I`ll be able to drive it.My goal is to have it lowered,drivetrain swapped,and wheels`n`tires on this summer so I can start beatin`around in it.Someday I`ll have "Beauty and The Beast" shortbeds.The beast will be the pretty one and the mild one will be the rat.
