Any updates? Did you end up selling this truck? If not, any progress photos?

**DANTIP** · 04-19-2016, 10:11 AM

I finished a few things on the truck and it's being picked up by the new owner today. I've attached a few pics. I installed the A/C system, full-wheel covers, whitewall radials, spare tire, air-cleaner heat stove, etc.

That is just amazing, it's like going back in time.

Seeing this truck makes you realize how perfect they were off the assembly line from GM. GM nailed it with this design.

Beautiful!

**yote1234** · 05-19-2023, 07:09 PM

I Really miss this one

I'll bet you do. I've always wondered how you guys could sell a truck you built to such a higher level. During my build I've thought about selling but when it really came down to it I don't think I could. once it's complete i probably never would unless my kids were sick and I needed money fast or something of that nature. That truck is a top build on this site for me.

I Thank you for the complement. Yeah, Some time Life happens, Had to sell but this one I am restoring now will never be sold if i can help it! I am in much better financial condition now. Plus i could never find the Nos parts again to do another truck this quality.
