Re: finally got pics to post
I love your truck! Had one like that when I was 16 but mine was GMC Super Custom. The one that got away. Traded it on my 81 for a whopping $600.

Those 8" Rallys really make a big difference already.

Re: finally got pics to post
I'm sure you had to pay "extra" for it, with those special mirror mounts. But, with the custom-by-crunch door and the mirror mounts.....you can fix both, with another door shell. Lemme guess....it's got a matching mirror mount on the other door, right?
Nice score, though. Mine didn't have anything near the finsh that yours has. It's kinda hard to polish a turd, with the intent of it becoming anything else but a polished turd, so I get to spend more money on mine. My avatar alludes to a P.O.S., but that is just Positively Old School, for me.....and the turd.

Re: finally got pics to post
Troy!
Looks like you have a solid piece of metal to work with there! I've been working on and off on my 71 for a couple of years and it still looks like a turd, although it sounds so much better in the garage since I cut off those sissy mufflers. Now my girlfriend can see the resonance vibration in my picture window when it's running ![]() She looks right at home when I have the Georgia flag flying out front!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ![]()

Re: finally got pics to post
I just have to ask... is that a painted 2x4 for the "special mirror mount?" Other than the door and mirrors, looks like you've got a nice bed, cab and fenders. The wheels do look good on it.

Re: finally got pics to post
Good looking start on your truck. It has alot of promise, especially after those custom mirror brackets become history.

Re: finally got pics to post
Well the other side is probably just as bad.I do have pics., and yes that is a painted 2x4 mirror mount, The other mirror mount isn't quite so primitive, Its great to see all the moral support from you guys, now if I can just get my wife to be as supportive.
