Yeah it's ugly now......... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BUT tomorrow I start tearin' it apart. The next time it is in one piece it will be a thing of beauty. Wish me luck, and thanks in advance for answering the huge amount of questions I will be asking during this project.

Good luck, sorry I won't be much help

FRENCHBLUE72 · 07-20-2003, 09:49 AM

Look's like a pretty clean start just pace your self so you don't get burned out....Last time my truck was on the road was 2-1-00 had to buy a blazer cause I missed driving my truck.....

**Stocker** · 07-20-2003, 10:25 AM

Looks like a pretty good starting point... you're lucky to have the time & place (and everything else!) to tackle a frame-off!

ginter · 07-20-2003, 11:19 AM

Doesn't look all that bad right now. Good luck man.

lukecp · 07-20-2003, 11:25 AM

That truck looks pretty straight and solid....great place to start a frame-off from

. What are your plans for it?

Truck looks good already! You cant have an ugly 67-68. Just those other years can be ugly

haha All you need to do is paint it all one color and lower it and you are SET! ;0

Have fun with it!

I can relate....But as others have said it looks good now. To be really ugly you must add a few more colors to the mix.

It's gonna be a good looking truck! What color you gonna paint it?

jhwkns · 07-20-2003, 02:26 PM

That's a nice looking project truck. What part of town are you in? I live near Nellis AFB.

Good luck with the project Chevy4Life

Small window cabs are sweet

Chevy4Life · 07-22-2003, 11:10 AM

Thanks for all the encouragement everyone.

yellow72custom -I plan on a 3-1/2"- 5" or 4"-6" drop, 383/700r4, wood bed floor, Late model seat. (The short list)

krue -I really don't know what color yet (maybe dark blue)

jhwkns -Thanks. I'm in Green Valley.

Well I didn't get a lot done to the truck Sunday. After picking up the new compressor and sand blaster, then wiring up the 220 all I did was pull the diff cover. It has posi

but 4.11 gears, I was hoping for 3.73 or at least a 3 series carrier. Hopefully I'll have time before this weekend to get the bed and front end off.

ginter · 11-01-2008, 11:22 PM

Been a while since I've posted. Went looking at some old threads. Including this one.

How's the truck coming along? Let's see some pics!

I agree with SweetandLong68...all our trucks are good lookin...it's just that some are more good lookin than others. There is no such thing as an ugly 67-72 Chevy/GMC Truck.

Chevy4Life....have fun, pace yourself, and you can't take your $$$ with you so spend it on your truck.

lax54650 · 11-02-2008, 08:25 AM

looks like a great start!! there is no ugly 67-72!!! unless it is a F@$D

1956cameo · 11-02-2008, 09:37 AM

I would assume that since we have not heard anything about this truck in 5 years it is propably sold, sitting unfinished in a back yard, or finished along time ago. It could also be a combination of 2 out of 3

ANTHONY 67 · 11-02-2008, 09:44 AM

good luck

69Rob · 11-02-2008, 02:23 PM

Ok im not a Ford man i only got mine cuz my Grandpa had one when i was growing up but they are not that ugly and plus that thign is solid if any thing gets in my way i can just push it out the way

Sport/Truck · 11-02-2008, 04:53 PM

Solid is right, try sitting on the hood of a todays cars!

s/t

Chevy4Life · 11-02-2008, 05:13 PM

WOW... 5 years later. It's been drivable (NOT finished)for about 2 years, but it mostly just sits in the driveway. I went to a local car show in late Sept. and it really got me mad that my truck STILL wasn't ready. SO, I just gutted the cab, ordered up sound deadener and carpet. I'm picking up $600 in mostly interior parts from BROTHERS TRUCKS when I head out to Cali next week. After that it's just minor body work, paint and wheels. I'll try to find some more recent pics.
