Some young guy with a 62 GMC - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

62GMC305 · 02-26-2014, 04:15 PM

Hey everyone, I'm 22, Ive been lurking on this forum for a while… I am inspired by the amazing craftsmanship of the builds here! So since i have a few little plans for my own, i thought id start a thread. So i have always wanted an old truck.. I bought myself a 63 Chevy last summer, turns out it needed a whole new cab/frame or MAJOR money to get it into drivable condition.. So i sold it to a guy who had the funds to fix it, saved mine up and found this beauty. Name: IMG_1091.jpg

Nice clean truck! Welcome!

62GMC305 · 02-26-2014, 08:04 PM

Thanks everyone! The only real plan i have for it at the moment is tires/rims.. the front tires are bald.. and since I'm replacing the tires, id like to get the older rally rims and stock GMC hubcaps while I'm at it. Any tires you guys recommend that look stock or similar? Sizing?
