Back to the dark side.....1965 GMC longie.
Last month I went to a Auto Swapmeet and purchased a very clean chrome GMC grill, upon purchasing the grill I said to myself "self now I need to buy me a GMC truck" lo and be hold, be careful what you ask for! Last Saturday while browsing Craig's list I found this truck that's a little different from my norm, but it was reasonable and the price was negotiable plus I was attracted to the red color and thought "Shop truck potential" or "Future shortie", if it should last so long, I think everyone knows my track record.

Re: Back to the dark side.....1965 GMC longie.
My wife buys me ties and then says we need to go buy me a suit to go with the tie.
That's what I thought of when you bought a grill, then bought a truck to go with it.

Great looking truck. I like the large factory mirrors, they are hard to find. That new grill will look great installed on it.

C/10 King,

You also will need to add the missing GMC letter frame brackets. (Black cross bar supports that hold have letter "float". Wish I had that grill. Will have mine chromed later.

Yeah, I was thinking about changing the mirrors for a minute, but there actually in real good shape so I think they will stay, plus a chrome front bumper will be joining that shiny grill!!!!

The letters will definitely be going back on, after cruising in "Moe's 64" GMC a few months back, I've really have fallen for this front end!

Re: Back to the dark side.....1965 GMC longie.
A chrome grille in that condition is so hard to find, good for you. The truck looks incredibly straight and cancer free. Have fun!

Re: Back to the dark side.....1965 GMC longie.
Damn Rene! You always have a knack for finding the straight ones. I have no doubt that you'll give this one the "King" touch.

We know you just had to keep up with Gilbert.

Re: Back to the dark side.....1965 GMC longie.
Rene, I'll help you out I'll take that grill off your hands! Lol I actually passed on a really good freshly chromed bumper last month because I wasn't able to find a grill and I didn't want to chrome the one I had, since i would lole to go back and forth between black and chrome.

Great score! Points for putting the cart before the horse. I bought the orig GMC radio first, then my truck. LOL!

Sometimes the right one comes along and grabs you by the short hairs. You have to jump on it!

Awesome truck! They don't call you the king for nothing!
Too bad, it looks like at some point in it's life one of those "fix your dents while you shop/eat" guys got his hands on it.
