Just picked up a 59,67,69,77 chevy, gmc ford, 1/2 3/4 ton
Snow finally got low enough to go pick this one up. Been waiting on it for a couple of months but the snow kept falling. I bet it was a good looking truck when it was first done. V-8, 4bbl 4 speed. It was driven out of the snow bank the day before i got there and can't get it running again... Too cold to mess with today.
Story goes it is a 77 blazer frame with 3/4 ton axles, ford front hubs, gmc front bumper, 67 steering column, 69 cab and a 59 box. Johnny cash would be proud. Enjoy the pics.

Couple more. The original 69 truck was probably pretty sharp in its day.

Used to be an automatic truck?

I agree. I think when it was first done it probably looked good.
Looks that way. Quote:

Re: Just picked up a 59,67,69,77 chevy, gmc ford, 1/2 3/4 ton
Its kind of a tough looking truck. First thing (if it ever warms up... teens today and another 5-8" of snow possibly coming) is to get it running and driving. That will decide the fate. It sat for 3 years and the PO put a battery in and it started right up and drove out of the snowbank. I went to pick it up the next day and it would pop, but wouldn't start. I siphoned most of the gas out and put fresh in and it doesn't even pop now... Like there is no spark. That is as far as i got.

you might want to check for some condensation in the dist cap/wires , I have had the same experience we moved a outfit , getting ready to load , all hadies broke loose in a storm , went in had a cup of joe , came out half hour latter , no spark , grand son had left hood kinda up not latch , water condensed in cap and around , the little elections were doing the spark dance and the mufflers doing the boom boom , lol

Seat cover is aftermarket. Owner must not have been a purist

Isn't that called a saddle blanket cover? It shows saddle on the spid. The paint all matches on the outside, so it must be original yet.
