Truck pics before I start - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Haven't posted pics. Here they are. Soon will begin resto and body work. Truck was frame-off about 15 years ago so alot of the parts are reusable. Have the game plan mapped out and a vision. It won't look like this again.

1969 C/K CST · 12-13-2005, 04:25 PM

More.

67ChevyRedneck · 12-13-2005, 04:31 PM

Man, that's cheating, you need to start with something that looks like crap like the rest of us

Nice truck. Hopefully be an easy resto for ya. Love them 4x4's

**dennislbrooks** · 12-13-2005, 04:32 PM

Looks like a nice truck now-- guess it will be even better later.

Luvlegs · 12-13-2005, 05:05 PM

Nice head start!
I started a thread a while ago asking if anyone had a list or schedule lined up (a plan) - A to Z if you will (not looking at time for each "mini"project or $$$) but a path start to finish. You mentioned having it "mapped out" - did you make up such a schedule or is it mental (where mine still is by the way)

Owned and drove the truck a long time. Had plenty of time to see things I want to change. Wrote alot down and researched some products. Yeah, some things are mental but computers sure improve the memory.

that truck hardly needs anything.. why not help out a junker... ?? lol

RANDY COX · 12-13-2005, 07:07 PM

Looks pretty good,luv those shortbed 4x4's

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-13-2005, 07:09 PM

Looks like a very nice ride to start with....

Striker169 · 12-13-2005, 07:28 PM

Dam I would love to just have that! One step ahead of the game

**Canadian694x4** · 12-13-2005, 07:38 PM

I'm thinking of doing the same thing...Start a Resto before my Truck gets to the "junker" stage.

krue · 12-13-2005, 11:14 PM

If mine looked like that, I would be saying I'm done!

matthufham · 12-14-2005, 12:08 AM

dang show us the inside glovebox, it's loaded with options!

MDC · 12-14-2005, 12:12 AM

Already damn nice! Can' t wait to see it when your done.

ZOOMY · 12-14-2005, 01:58 AM

If you decide to go with a stock steering wheel or a smaller one, I'll take dibs on the one in the truck now..............Z

wibilly · 12-14-2005, 02:12 AM

take a buffer to her and she's done,nice truck

ol yellow 72 · 12-14-2005, 05:14 AM

very sweet truck

shelby987 · 12-14-2005, 08:49 AM

dang, I thought I had the only 4x4 with 3 on the tree......well, maybe I will have to reserve myself to the only 3/4t

i agree, if mine were in that shape....she's DONE!

1969 C/K CST · 12-14-2005, 09:42 AM

Thanks for the compliments. Can't really tell from the pics but there is some rust starting to show. Other than an engine swap, the drivetrain will stay. The front and rear axles were swapped when built and are late model so this 69 has discs. The truck is not factory but put together well. The cab is a 2wd cst cab with factory air. Forgot to take a pic of the glovebox sticker. I used it as a daily driver when I first got it, then a part time driver. I'm ready to put it back in the condition it was in when I first bought it. Well with a few twists.

shelby987 · 12-14-2005, 09:53 AM

keeping the column shifter or going floor mount?

Column. May swap for 4sp down the road but I'm fine with the 3sp for now.

blazerparts · 12-14-2005, 11:16 AM

Joe67 · 12-14-2005, 03:22 PM

Nice truck.

I'd give it a nice polish from top to bottom and be done with it

I agree. I have a rusty POS that you could start throwing money at and I would be perfectly happy with your very nice truck.
