My truck is pretty much finished
I thought I would post a few pics of my pretty much finished 1970 GMC. This used to be a 2wd. I put a 1988 4wd frame under.

That is one very nice truck. Well done and congrts on finishing!!
What are the shoulder belts out of? One of the board vendors sells a setup like that for $160. It's one of the many things on my have to have list for both our trucks.

The bed's setting on the frame. I had to put a body lift under the cab just to bring it up in line with the bed.
The shoulder belts are out of a mid 80s full size Chevy.

Looks like a sweet ride. Don't see many 67-72 IFS 4x4's. Okay, actually, I'm pretty sure this is the first one I have seen. Would you do it again if you had to or go with an old straight axle frame?

I had to put extentions on the part of the belts that came through the seats. They weren't long enough. I would have to dig into the seat just to find them.

[and because it's something you don't see every day, a 67-72 IFS 4x4.]
That's for sure. Other than the low hanging frame mid section who'd know it is not original? Was the wheel base the same? Sits nice and should ride real good.

Looks good to me. Did you document the changeover with pics, etc? I'm sure there would be several people interested in the details of the swap.

I see the newer shifter for the transfer case....but I can't believe that no one asked:
What about the engine and tranny???? Are they from the '88 truck? (5.7L w/ overdrive?)
