just got a 72 gmc 1/2 ton sierra 2wd, very little rust with a 350 and auto and working air for 350.00. it even has the factory radio. with the money i saved i got me a 67 chevy front clip to convert it. i have always wanted a 67-68, but now i need to convert it to a shortbed as well.

heres some the 2nd day i had it. i took the shell off, took off the big ugly non stock rear bumper, and got the complete front clip undone, in the morning i will lift off the 72 gmc clip and replace it with a 67 chevy clip. and hopefully start shortening the frame for a shortbed. and mabey i can find a good shordbed to put on it.

pictures turned out crappy, was dark outside.

rancid · 10-21-2006, 08:09 PM

the clip is on, might get the frame shortened in the morning. cant wait to lower and paint this thing, it might just be enough to tie me over till the crewcab 72 is done.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 10-21-2006, 08:31 PM

Looks like a pretty good deal..

kylejamers · 10-21-2006, 09:21 PM

sweeet

rancid · 10-29-2006, 09:14 PM

its a shortbed now, cut 12 inches of the middle of the frame and 8 inches off the rear, now i need to assemble the bed and get it in black satin and lower it. so i can drive it.

i think its coing along good, oh and i need to install the new rockers and cab corners before it goes into satin black.

**Boog** · 10-29-2006, 09:26 PM

You're making some fast progress there.

rancid · 10-29-2006, 09:36 PM

after its lowered and in satin black, i need to gather up a tbi setup and inject it and install a 4l60e i just picked and hope to get some ok mpg with this setup.

*72CSTC5* · 10-29-2006, 09:25 PM

Heck yeah, now you are talking short beds rule!!

**Canadian694x4** · 10-29-2006, 09:33 PM

Wow...Fast Progress And A Great Score For $350!!

71chevytruckguy · 10-29-2006, 09:39 PM

rancid · 11-05-2006, 09:41 PM

Where did you cut the frame? Everyone I have seen they were cut under the cab. looks like you cut between the crossmember and the rear. did you have to move any cab mounts?
Jack

rancid · 11-05-2006, 10:01 PM

i cut it a few inches after the rear cab mounts. im still going to add some inner frame gussets.

action · 11-05-2006, 10:04 PM

I see, It is a leaf spring truck so you were able to cut where you did. You couldn't cut there with a coil spring truck.
Jack

rancid · 11-05-2006, 10:07 PM

i wish it was a leaf sprung truck, eaisier to install bags.
