Progression of the 69'er - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

This is not so much a build thread as much as it's a progression thread because I can't take credit for a lot of the work done to it.

Back in 2010 I was in the market for a 67-72 GM pickup. I've always had 3/4 ton 2WD pickups. I was looking for something to bomb around in.
I started by looking at a website that combined all the Craigslist together called Autotempest.
I came upon this truck in the Sacramento area.

These are pics taken from the baby book I got with the truck.
I'm pretty sure the restoration was done in 2004-2005

Look'n Good in the neighborhood!!!

I like LS engines, but the old timers can run well also, trouble is most folks have never been for a ride in a vehicle that had a 350 or SBC 400 properly built!!!
