1968 GMC 2500

Got this for free from my 84 year old neighbor. runs real good with the V6 305E. I have already located some nevada fenders and other parts. The only good part is the frame and cab. Oak bed is in excellent shape. My plans are to restore it to original and use it to trailer my 1984 when needed.

That is a thing of beauty. He raised the bar substantially for "good neighbor".

I'd have to agree, the truck might look rough now but just think about it in the future...I would have gotten a truck like that but they are just to expensive for me

Pics of the wood bed?

You need to get you a 478M to stick in it.

looks great from this angle... we LOVE photos of these rigs in as found condition... got any more?
A grill shouldn't be too hard to find, and some bleach water would take care of the black crap growing in the paint (wear gloves and do not.... DO NOT scratch your face or eyes... we won't talk about that)
