old blue lab to swb - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

chevycowboy1985 · 02-02-2014, 10:17 PM

Here is my 1963 gmc was siting in a field on the frame. Was a free truck guy was cleaning his yard out.There was no motor no tranny, the plan is to swap to short box frame I found and cut my box down. And i have a 350 motor and 350 tranny sitting in shop for this project And to put suspension off a 1980 donor truck i got from a friend for free. There is a lot of rust in the cab and the fenders are rusted out in the normal spots

Ya not sure if the radio works. The steering column and steering wheel got from a friend out of his 69 that had an auto tranny the gauge cluster is basic with idoit light. Plans are to lower it and add custom touches not to sure color or what seats to use yet mine where gone and used parts are hard to find around my area in canada

Well after some long hours and lots of work the cab and doors is almost ready for primer. May be slowing down a little on the old truck as i picked up a 91 k5 blazer that needs some love
