'69 GMC Long Step "Dirty Green"

[guitardude127]

This truck was my grandfather's farm truck. I learned to drive this truck when I was 5 years old in low gear driving "circles" in the pasture while my grandfather would throw hay out of the bed. I've always had a deep love for this truck and my grandfather would never sell it to me because he loved it more than I. He passed away in 2006 and in 2008 my grandmother gave it to me. It had not run or moved in about 3 years, but I went out and in about 10 minutes got it running and drove it around on the back roads for about a year. In 2009 I started my project and have gotten a little side tracked. This is what I've done so far, and will now become a build thread as I continue work on it. This is a 1969 GMC 3/4Ton 2WD Long Bed Stepside with a 307 and Turbo 400, all factory. My grandfather bought this truck from the original owner in '72 and it's never left the family since. Here are a few pictures from when I got it, and some from a year or so ago. I'll update it with new pictures when I get home (traveling currently.)
