A fresh start for this '69 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

steve75104 · 11-26-2004, 07:13 PM

Got this one about two weeks ago and the work is just beginning. First thing is to replace the bumper and grill so it'll look like a '69 again. Overall, this one's solid but needs a lot of TLC (maintenance). See pictures (below)

Wow, that one really is solid. Nice find!

Great starting point!!! I'll bet the wheels in your head are breaking the speed-limit I know mine allways are, and the bank tooooo!.

steve75104 · 11-26-2004, 07:47 PM

Lots and lots of plans. Hope my household banker will finance (so far she has). lol

Looks like a good start.....

**N2TRUX** · 11-26-2004, 08:40 PM

That looks like a sweet find.....

dinnut · 11-26-2004, 09:38 PM

hey what are you going to do with the old grill? what shape is it in?

Brainchild · 11-26-2004, 10:09 PM

That is a nice truck the way it is,IMO.WIll look gret with some tlc

Old grill is far from perfect. Aluminum is not bad. Complete grill and bumper should be available after this weekend. When available, I'll post on the parts board. Thanks for the compliments everyone! I'm excited and can't hardly wait to be through with it but there's a lot of work that's gotta happen. I'm sure I'll be posting questions here often as I get moving.

Very nice looking truck.

I been working on my truck since the spring & it still don't look that good. But is was how you say,, incomplete when I started.. good score

me3 · 11-27-2004, 07:22 PM

Wish my stepper would have started out half as good as that

Rusty Rider · 11-27-2004, 07:23 PM

Wow, you have a great truck on your hands there.

steve75104 · 11-27-2004, 08:03 PM

Got the grill and bumper replaced and the little booster steps removed today. New used grill and bumper isn't perfect but at least it lloks like a 1969 again.

I really like the lower trim. Is it just a universal application? I'm thinking of adding something similar to my 67.

**Canadian694x4** · 11-28-2004, 01:05 AM

Nice Truck!!

steve75104 · 11-28-2004, 08:48 PM

I think the trim is likely from a new style truck (it matches my '91). I guess it looks good but won't likely survive a year on this truck.
