Re: Sharp! K2500 Service truck conversion (not mine) ebay
Woah,thanks!Lost Classics comes up with the sweetest trucks.They`re the ones that had that burgundy`68GMC dually 4wd p/u.They must do their own body work.
That is the truck I want to build.Or,at least one I want to build.Those are the fender boxes I`ve been wanting to find.I think that truck was set up as a camper hauler originally.The cap was probably fitted later.I wonder if that truck was a Stepside originally.I don`t know how to tell in the model#.But,I always understood that side mouldings were deleted on Stepsides.The p.o. could have installed them.

Re: Sharp! K2500 Service truck conversion (not mine) ebay
Pretty sure that was a stepside to begin with. I worked for a guy who had a 78 stepside and then an 87, both 4x4 stepsides, converted like that. They gave him the original inner wheelwells both times.

Re: Sharp! K2500 Service truck conversion (not mine) ebay
I was wondering why it had side mouldings since Stepsides didn`t come with them.I`m familiar with the upfit tool boxes mounted on a Stepside as well as the companies that made them.Other than for work trucks,many camper guys,especially in the N/W install low-profile utility bodies or installed those boxes for....their utility.Alaskan Campers has a real nice truck for their promo and offer utility beds in their catalog.Here`s another Stepside with fender boxes:

I noticed the glove box stickers says Sierra Grande, but fender emblems just say Sierra

Re: Sharp! K2500 Service truck conversion (not mine) ebay
Utility/tool boxes ruin the look of the truck, IMO. Look at the vise mounted on the passenger side box!

Re: Sharp! K2500 Service truck conversion (not mine) ebay
Thanks for that objective view JunkYardJohn.
The VIN and Model says its a 127" Step-Side Pickup originally. Also, for Sierra Grande it has the wood panels on the door, but should at least the dash have it also? And then maybe the glove box? I tend to agree that is for the most part in tack, but stuff replaced. Still pretty neat. As always, if it goes cheap enough I can tolerate the short comings of it!

That truck is awesome! To bad it has the SBC and auto, or I'd have trouble sleeping at night knowing I didn't own it!

Re: Sharp! K2500 Service truck conversion (not mine) ebay
I'm from OKLAHOMA and that truck would have that bed taken off and changed to a flat bed or long bed. Looks too clutered for my taste.

Re: Sharp! K2500 Service truck conversion (not mine) ebay
I had to part out a 72GMC 3/4 sierra grande same color combo, 2wd. Now I know what it looked like new, color. Still have the dash that's that color. I put a 67cab on it and plan on making it a nice 3/4 flatbed truck "one of these days".

Re: Sharp! K2500 Service truck conversion (not mine) ebay
I figured Jeff`s Lost Classics did their own body and paint because everything I see him offer is body shop fresh or at least polished and detailed.I saw that cruise stick,too and no mention on the VIN-spec.My Sierra says SierraGrande on the VIN-spec sheet,too.I`m sure there`s bondo in the cab corner.Look real close,besides,I`ve never seen a support rust before the sheetmetal.I want to build one like that.I was planning that color and I have a complete mint saddle interior gathered from before repro,including an n.o.s. steering wheel.I have the houndstooth bucket seat covers from C.A.R.S. that they put together for me back in`91.
I don`t care what anyone says,that truck looks awesome and at a show would have more people gathered than any other`72.The cap would have to go,that`s an add-on from later anyway.I would chrome that vise.That`s a truck guy`s truck all the way.In this day and age where you see housewifes running the kids around the suburbs in a crewcab Tundra,or 1ton turbo diesels commuting(solo) to the parking deck outside the office,it`s nice to see a real truck that`s more than pretty on a level uncomprehensible to the average truck owning mass.

Re: Sharp! K2500 Service truck conversion (not mine) ebay
Take the topper off and mount a spike in that bed.Paint the cow wagon to match.I think Herfords would look best with those colors.
