1971 gmc
Hello everyone, I am new to this site but have been watching/learning from the shadows for many years!
I am currently rebuilding my dad's original farm truck that has sat at the farm since 1993 waiting for me to put my cape on and bring it back to life haha. I am from Red Deer Alberta Canada and look forward to sharing this experience with you as I go through the build. I have read through many forums and learned from so many of the threads as I go through this long process! To those that have posted for the past many years I thank you for your knowledge and personal experiences when building these rolling works of art!! |

Re: 1971 gmc
Thanks everyone!!
I have already shortened the frame and box to make it a short box. I have lowered the rear 5 inches and the front installed 2 1/2 drop spindles. Currently body working the typical cab rust (inner rockers, cab corners and outer rockers. |
