Hey yall, Heres my truck. Its not pretty, Yet but this is a work in progress. notice the custom touches the previous owner did such as the body work and special mirror mounts

Look at last post if your'e wondering why theres no pics. That makes two of us.

86swb · 01-19-2006, 01:43 PM

I can't say much for the mirrors but nice truck to fix up. Good find.

ScienceGuy · 01-19-2006, 02:24 PM

She's a diamond in the rough..Start polishing..

*Billla* · 01-19-2006, 01:47 PM

Looks like a beauty to me!

mblackburnjr · 01-19-2006, 01:52 PM

Thats one of my favorite color combo's!...The wheels made a big difference!

olblue81 · 01-19-2006, 01:55 PM

I love your truck! Had one like that when I was 16 but mine was GMC Super Custom. The one that got away. Traded it on my 81 for a whopping $600.

86swb · 01-19-2006, 02:00 PM

Those 8" Rallys really make a big difference already.

roughedup72 · 01-19-2006, 02:18 PM

Yeah its amazing what a difference the wheels make.

roughedup72 · 01-19-2006, 02:58 PM

yep got a parts truck on the way,Thanks to 1971swblt1373posi,What an awesome person, Thanks.

ChevLoRay · 01-19-2006, 03:09 PM

I'm sure you had to pay "extra" for it, with those special mirror mounts. But, with the custom-by-crunch door and the mirror mounts.....you can fix both, with another door shell. Lemme guess....it's got a matching mirror mount on the other door, right?

Nice score, though. Mine didn't have anything near the finsh that yours has. It's kinda hard to polish a turd, with the intent of it becoming anything else but a polished turd, so I get to spend more money on mine. My avatar alludes to a P.O.S., but that is just Positively Old School, for me.....and the turd.

1971LT1SWBPOSI373 · 01-19-2006, 03:38 PM

Troy!

Looks like you have a solid piece of metal to work with there! I've been working on and off on my 71 for a couple of years and it still looks like a turd, although it sounds so much better in the garage since I cut off those sissy mufflers. Now my girlfriend can see the resonance vibration in my picture window when it's running

She looks right at home when I have the Georgia flag flying out front!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Longhorn Man · 01-19-2006, 04:20 PM

That doesn't look bad at all IMO... onless of course, you are only showing 'the good side'...which manyu of us tend to do.

What's the details of your rig? Any more pics?

True that....true that.

Joe67 · 01-19-2006, 03:43 PM

Nice project - those wheels/tires made a big difference

67ChevyRedneck · 01-19-2006, 03:45 PM

I just have to ask... is that a painted 2x4 for the "special mirror mount?" Other than the door and mirrors, looks like you've got a nice bed, cab and fenders. The wheels do look good on it.

Southedisto · 01-19-2006, 04:17 PM

Nice looking truck, where abouts are you in SC?

Bad Dog · 01-19-2006, 07:10 PM

Looks like a good start to me.

**Palf70Step** · 01-20-2006, 12:05 AM

Good looking start on your truck. It has alot of promise, especially after those custom mirror brackets become history.

71-longbed · 01-20-2006, 12:20 AM

I dont care what anyone says .. polish that chevy !!!!!!!.... (not going to call it a turd) ...

Longhorn .... quite a few of us have seen those pics way too many times ... there good .. but you might want to retire them .... wheres the mtn dew ??

Longhorn Man · 01-20-2006, 12:32 AM

my bad.

roughedup72 · 01-20-2006, 01:41 PM

Well the other side is probably just as bad.I do have pics., and yes that is a painted 2x4 mirror mount, The other mirror mount isn't quite so primitive, Its great to see all the moral support from you guys, now if I can just get my wife to be as supportive.
