Back showing rusty bumper and bowed tailgate.

Ahhh...nice classy Canadian interior complete with red wool blanket, eh?

Thanks to this board I am amassing many parts to fix this thing up to be a nice driver.

This is a great truck D.. You have lots there and can enjoy driving it while you go on the "HUNT" for parts, which is the part I love about restoring old stuff. A lot of guys have started with a lot less than you have there and ended up with show trucks.

Here's my beater '68. It's not a DD because it would break down every day if I drove it every day.

I really think it's time for paint this summer.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 02-06-2005, 11:25 AM

Heres one that I have been piecing together..

corn · 02-13-2005, 02:15 PM

I like this style truck more & more every day. Dont get me wrong I still want my 84 to be a clean driver but I love the beaters too. Come on, dig up some more...

Brainchild · 02-13-2005, 06:22 PM

Yeah I know it's ugly,but it gets the job done
the second one is my POS 67 3/4 ton,it handles work a lot better than the 1/2 ton does.

This thread is miss titled. There is no such thing as a beater chevy there are chevy's that are in need of tlc and those that aren't. lol good looking Daily driver's/ In need of TLC GM trucks.

lukecp · 02-21-2005, 01:20 AM

My beater...used to be a nice truck but a combination of my teenage self and Missouri road salt changed that....

No such thing? Sure there is, as soon as I get my beater I will post pics of it with pride. Where are your beater pics? Also, ALL cool old trucks & cars need TLC, if they didnt we wouldnt love them so much...corn
