Re: Whats Your Truck Theme
My '67 GMC SWB is a late '60s/early '70s hot truck vibe. Only things you would have seen in that era done or used. I always liked doing era-correct. There are many ways to go and many eras since back then. Ultimately, I'd like the theme to go even farther along the same line to hot truck owned by wrench at a Pontiac/GMC dealership. My M22, it turns out, is a '65 Pontiac A Body. I already have a 327 built for it but this theme would be, since up till late '67 GMC didn't offer a V8, this wrench dropped a 389 in with the M22. Before the V6s GMC ran Pontiac V8s. I have a Pontiac steering wheel and there's a 389 I can have, with bellhousing, if I decide to. I love the idea but it's just something to make it take longer and cost more money. The theme lately has been "Yard Ornament".
My '72's theme is in limbo. It's just the old truck a guy keeps using theme. I might go pride & joy work truck, classic 4wd camper hauler, or rugged Fenderside 4wd.
