72 GMC 2500 "Project Powder Blue"
So im not really new here but i just figured out yesterday how to start a new thread! LOL. But Last January i picked up a 72 GMC 2500 4x4 longbed off of Craigslist. It had a meyers plow and a lot of new parts. So i drove 2 1/2 hours to look at it, aw i instantly fell in love with'er. No mufflers, the heat worked, and so did the plow. I even drove it 200 miles to carlisle last summer with no floor pans or driver side seat mount. I also hauled 1300 lbs of steel to the scrap yard with 3 bolts holding the severly rotted bed on! And the last trip she had on the road before the project started was a 40 mile round trip with a 20 foot tandem car trailer to pick up the new bed. I guess you could say i had a lot of faith in a rust bucket with 228,000 original miles! So heres my SLOW progress on it. So far i have junked the old bed and bought another one off of a guy on this site. Also i did the driver side rocker and pans.
