I had to do what I call the Chevy Shuffle today and had these two trucks parked next to each other... I couldn't resist the pics. I know how everyone likes pictures..

We have the new look, verses old look... Sorry the pics are so small.. One day I will figure out the camera thing..

Nice shot Wes............I still think the silver one would look better with 4 headlights

GMC AMI · 07-06-2005, 07:52 PM

Tell him Wes it used to have 4 headlights before that WICKED NICE GRILLE you sell went in! Darn I would trade a truck for 1 of those sweet set-ups!

**Classic Heartbeat** · 07-06-2005, 08:05 PM

Well thats true enough. lol This is how the Silver "Garden Truck" started life. WES

**Classic Heartbeat** · 07-06-2005, 08:09 PM

But then we started selling these and that was the end of that..

**Classic Heartbeat** · 07-06-2005, 08:33 PM

Sorry if I am boring anyone with my pictures. That is not my intention.. I trimmed the picture up so that they show better. My shorty 4x4 is in the background.. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

stllookn · 07-06-2005, 09:07 PM

Very nice...but I would have to say silver and copper...now you really need a gold truck to make a nice set...LOL!

DTerry · 07-06-2005, 09:17 PM

Cool trucks, nice work. Quick question(s) I have a 70 GMC and I wounder if that grill will work on my truck and what year is it? Is it a bolt in replacement? Thanks

**Classic Heartbeat** · 07-06-2005, 10:16 PM

You would have to change your entire front clip. All but the hood and inner fenders that is. It is for a 71-72 Chevy and needs the 69-72 front fenders, and core support. You would also need a pair of 69-72 grill brackets, center support and front bumper with turn signal assemblies. We can suply you with all of that though...lol WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com
stllookn, I was thinking about that old Christmas song that is on one of the Christmas specials that I use to watch when I was a kid... That is why I typed in Silver and Gold...lol WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

1STtimePRo'71 · 07-06-2005, 10:43 PM

I really like the wheels on the silver one. Thay're factory ones from newer 3/4 and 1 tons right. I havent seen ones so shiney though. Must have been ordered that way huh?

***Liz*** · 07-06-2005, 11:08 PM

omg wes that truck looks frikin sweet since you got it

Deuce · 07-06-2005, 11:26 PM

Lovin the fleet WES.

86swb · 07-06-2005, 11:42 PM

Does not look like the same truck. Wes, you have the perfect job. So does GMC Paul. You both are great. LOL Love the silver truck.

69 Short Fleet · 07-07-2005, 01:35 AM

Great looking trucks Wes.

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 07-07-2005, 04:19 AM

Say Wes, What did you do with the diamond tread winch bumper? I think I have a matching rear fleetside stepbumper in my junk pile. (Swagged movie prop.)

**Yukon Jack** · 07-07-2005, 10:21 AM

The last pic is much better quality, thanks for posting it. Two awesome trucks!

**Classic Heartbeat** · 07-07-2005, 11:51 AM

Thanks everybody for all the great responces.

It is amazing what you can do with a buffer and a little elbow grease.

I hope my new lug nuts come in today so I can change the wheels and tires out to the ones like on the "Garden Truck".
1STtimePRo'71, That is the factory finnish on the wheels, they I think that they all start out that way and maybe if not kept pollished they oxidize over time.
'68OrangeSunshine, Both of the front and rear bumpers on that truck looked the same. They weighed about 400lbs each. It took two people to lift them. They hit the scrap yard a long time ago.

I still have the 8000 lb. Warren winch that was mounted in the front of it. Works great, now I just have to find a use for it. lol WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com
