69 2500hd 8.1

Well, I've been lurking here a while and finally some stuff is falling together. I'll just do some cliff's on what all is happening with this thing.

I picked up a parts truck last summer, a 2001 8.1/allison 2500 HD GMC, it's a Regular cab long box truck. It was kind of beat up, but it was worth what I paid.

Long story short, it's a parts truck.




So, I was going to drop the whole drivetrain into my 83 c30. I've been figuring out what I've needed to do for a while, and I was planning on working on it this week. Well, 2 weeks ago I ran into a buddy of mine with a 1969 C10 he wants to sell. Well, he wants my cab/box/front clip, in return I get his.

Here are some cell phone pics. It's rough, needs rockers, but the rest of the body is SUPER straight. I work at a body shop so I plan on hitting this thing full on this summer once the cab is on and the thing runs properly. I want a nice driver/truck to pull my 5.3 Monte with to the track and haul stuff with. This truck is going to get used and abused.






Got the 2500 down to the chassis, and heading to his house tomorrow to make the trade, I'm hoping to get the cab mounted by the end of the week and hopefully the steering done on it at least.
