Here is my project truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

silvereagle07 · 01-19-2009, 12:00 AM

Well I posted a friends finished truck and now here is my truck 1984 GMC. It's it's all original with the exception of the suburban clip, lowering kit and wheels. I have an engine built for it, upgrade brakes to install and hopefully a pb front and rear kit by next summer.

Looks like a good start!
Keep us posted on your progress.

84 400 · 01-19-2009, 12:54 AM

I like it. The burb clip stood out to me with the two tone paint. Great foundation you got there.

flamingbig10 · 01-19-2009, 02:15 AM

I like it, looks almost like my friends truck except a different color

jrsmith_2010 · 01-19-2009, 11:52 AM

that looks good!

72BlckButy · 01-20-2009, 09:51 PM

Great looking project, keep us posted on the progress!

SBTork · 01-21-2009, 03:23 AM

really cool

locab36 · 01-21-2009, 01:34 PM

Uncanny look-a-like.... For the life of me I cannot figure out why GM painted over that expensive red paint and put that white stripe on it??? Our builds are very similiar.

dooce · 01-21-2009, 01:43 PM

Is that the original paint on the truck and clip, or has it be repainted to match? Makes me really want to put some factory wheels on my truck.

silvereagle07 · 01-21-2009, 02:22 PM

It's the oringinal paint from '84. The front radiator support and grille assembly is from a '91 Suburban. I found an ad on craigslist and got it for $40. I just had to remove it from that guys burb.

Tony_SS · 01-21-2009, 02:42 PM

Very cool project! I like the stance and wheel/tire combo.

Hey locab, what size rear tires are you running? Looks great.

87c10slammer · 01-21-2009, 02:47 PM

you know i wasnt to fond of the burb front clip till i put one on my 87.. now i love the look it sets it apart from alot of the trucks at the local shows.. in the last year 4 trucks that are in my year range have popped up with bags.. i guess when there going for cheap around here thats what people buy

Thats the tire size I wanted to run but nobody makes them anymore.

silvereagle07 · 01-21-2009, 10:55 PM

That's what I've been reading. I got mine 2 years ago. I ordered my 6 275/50/15's and 2 295/50/15's for my truck and my friends truck. It took about a month to get them then. I was told then that the larger 15's were going out to make room for all of the larger tires being made. I guess I'll have to get larger wheels when I wear these out.

68c10owner · 01-22-2009, 12:30 AM

Yeah I`m going to have to run 60 series tires I guess till I can afford the 17`s.

silvereagle07 · 01-22-2009, 06:32 PM

With the economy being slow in my line of work, my project is on hold for now. Besides I have to finish my dads' 85 and my father in laws' 67 nova ss. I have no time for my own right now and it sucks. No extra money + no extra time = no finished project.

87Bob · 01-22-2009, 07:50 PM

To all you guys with your two tone paint I think that looks sharp. I have an light blue 85 that when I do the repaint I'm goig to do a silver band. Like this one

This is sweet, mine is a LB

silvereagle07 · 01-22-2009, 10:11 PM

That's the same color combo of my dads' truck. His project.

fast75 · 01-25-2009, 08:48 AM

really nice truck. a good base to start with, wish mine had been that nice.

*BGRAFX* · 10-24-2009, 10:43 AM

I like your truck. do you have any updated pics? I see your avatar has a GMC suburban front clip but your 1st pic is a Chevy suburban grill

silvereagle07 · 10-26-2009, 08:00 AM

Thanks! Sorry I don't have any updated pics. Just the one in the avatar. My dad bought a GMC suburban a few months ago for parts and I installed the grille on my truck to see if I liked it. The truck fund has been low around my house do to the economy and my second child on the way.

*BGRAFX* · 10-26-2009, 11:13 AM

Crazy question? What did you do with the chevy grill since you put the gmc on?
