1972 GMC build
So now that my build is almost over and I now have some time, I will start a build thread.
So here's a little background on my truck. My dad bought it when he was in his 20's and it looked really good back then. He is a general contractor so it was his work truck and our primary vehicle for years. Eventually all the construction work took its toll on the truck and it started to get pretty bad. All the usuall stuff, bad rockers, cab corners, and TONS of bondo from the PO'S repair jobs. So when I was 15 he gave it to me to restore. With alot of help and advice from him we took it all the way down to the frame and replaced almost everything. Dropped in a new 383 stroker to replace the tired old 350. Now I am 17 and I am very close to being done! Just have to color sand and buff it and a few misc things. |
