New member w/ 72 GMC into 69 Chevy

[Southern C10]

Hey guys,

I just joined up and wanted to post some pics of my project.

Before heading back over to Iraq for my fourth trip I bought a 72 GMC SWB with a 350 three on the tree. It had already been someones project so all the rust was cut out and patched and the truck had been painted back to the original Okra.

As a kid we had a 69 chevy (Blue one in pics) on the farm that I learned to drive with. It was going to be a future project for me and my grandad but about 10 years ago grandma rolled it over in a storm. I found the 72 two weeks before we deployed over here. Ill be back at the end of May and will spend my three weeks of leave rebuilding it with grandpa and my brother. The plan is to make the 72 GMC into the 69 Chevy.

Any body got any tips or problems I may run into doing this project? This is my first restore. Thanks, Brian.
