As i am in dire need of a daily driver, i simply had to put my 65 on the back burner.
Barn find much?
So, i simply hit craigslist and instantly fell in love
"1969 GMC Short Box (Silverdale) -2500"
me ->
So, me and the old man set off to silverdale with a full tank of diesel and a uhaul trailer
We bought it, and loaded her up and headed home
its a 69 GMC c10 swb with a running 350/350. In its previous years, it has been mistreated and has been ghetto rigged in many ways. It has power brakes, power steering(ran with out fluid many times), 2 key ignitions
and duel exhaust (hung by coat hangers
).Since the 65 and the 69's share the same parts, i have a large amount of parts for this truck already. Such as disc brake with drop spindle's, lowering springs, wheels, and a tonne of small block chevy parts, his build should be FUUUN! At the moment i am waiting on the OK from the boarder custom's so i can import this truck into canada and start rippin this thing apart! Tuesday is the day she is comin on home, this is gonna be the longest 3 days of my life
My plans are:
Build up the 350 (roller rockers, cam, intake carb etc)
Disc Brake swap(sitting on my shelf)
Lowering springs
4.11 posi gears (sitting on my shelf)
Relocate gas tank
Bodywork
Paint
Put my big meats on (centerlines)
Stay tuned, More pics/progress coming!
