drink2mny · 10-25-2003, 06:03 PM

you can see I still need a letter "C" for my tailgate band.

drink2mny · 10-25-2003, 06:05 PM

See the body work for the gas filler door.
Sweet huh..

dinnut · 10-25-2003, 06:06 PM

that thing looks nice. not much into some of the stuff on it but it definitely good for advertising

drink2mny · 10-25-2003, 06:08 PM

he just put the manual back in and hasn't changed his steering column yet

drink2mny · 10-25-2003, 06:10 PM

He said these where factory buckets.. Just had them done up and added a lumbar deal in them..

drink2mny · 10-25-2003, 06:13 PM

Rosie is his wifes name..

Can you believe he used to pull for competitions with this truck. I am going to find the picture with the stacks out of the hood and paddle tires..

krue · 10-25-2003, 07:14 PM

Gotta love those GMC 4x4's. That's a sweet truck.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 10-25-2003, 09:44 PM

Bad a$$ truck what about the hood is it custom the scoop seem's really wide??

drink2mny · 10-25-2003, 10:22 PM

Yup the hood was made not bought..
He needed a wide scoop because the hood originally had 2 upright headers coming through it..
I forgot to mention he built the front bumper..
One type of fabrication out of many he does just for our year Trucks...

Castiron9 · 10-25-2003, 10:58 PM

Back in the outbacks of Mexico they call those front bumpers "burro killers"

1969 GMC · 10-26-2003, 12:12 AM

nice truck...don't see too many '67 GMC 4x4s around. i dont like the rollbar and lights, and it looks like that front bumper weighs around 500 pounds. but cool truck!

72shadetree · 10-26-2003, 12:28 AM

sweet

Iron-Butt · 10-26-2003, 12:36 PM

Nice.

drink2mny · 10-26-2003, 12:52 PM

Yeah that bumper is big.. But you need that kind of weight on the front for when he used to do full pull competitions

Dean23 · 10-26-2003, 02:03 PM

lets see some pics of the engine

**Canadian694x4** · 10-26-2003, 09:22 PM

drink2mny · 11-14-2003, 07:02 PM

**nightmare** · 11-14-2003, 07:25 PM

looks like he took a hood and chopped it down to be able to fit on top of the other hood. looks nice, and looks like it fits. anyhow, very nice trucks.
