The $160 67 GMC is passing on

[Geezer]

Thanks to all! The time is about here to pass the truck on to the boy. He get’s his license next week. I haven’t spent much time chatting here, been too busy building the truck but here’s the short of it. I was driving across the back of my neighbors ranch that I hadn’t been on in many years. That was Memorial Day 2006. I spotted the small back window of a pickup behind an implement shed. I call my neighbor up and ask what it was and how much. He wanted $200, I offered $100….. Yeah I’m tight! It had been parked since 1986, I brought it home for $160, cleaned the trash out of the bed and gave it a bath. This was it then:







I had an 88 Suburban with a blown rear and a 91 Lincoln with a blown engine out back for parts, I used mechanicals, engine, suspension, brakes from the sub and gutted the ford of it’s electrical, cooling fan, fuse center, wires, seats.









And now, here it is today, almost ready to be the boy’s first cruser. Yeah, I’m scared! But I couldn't have done it without all the tips and tricks and info I gleaned from this site! thanks again all of you!
