My old GMC

I scanned these old pics today. I bought this truck for parts for my K10. I used the green bedsides and an inner fender. The blackish red bed was one that I bought for $100 just for the wheel tubs. I drove it multicolored for a while and then I spray bombed it flat black with a flat white roof. The grill had already been painted twice with a paint brush, once white and again black. I upgraded it to chrome spraypaint ! I gave my brother $50 bucks for the alloy wheels. It looks like I was ahead of my time with this rat rod flat black phase (pics are about 9.5yrs old). I bought the truck for $500 and drove it 50 miles a day for a couple years and sold it for $800. Last time I saw it she was a candy apple reddish color (bumpers and all). The old truck had about the best cab I have seen around here. I would have used the cab for my K10 if the rust hadn't already been fixed on it.

Most people call it Alabama or Polish chrome in these parts. I can't nail down the brush work either. The previous owner was quite a character. When I bought the truck the tires were full of water "so it would hold the road when it snowed". You know we get so much of the white stuff in North Georgia ( it's about 76* outside right now and I'm running my A/C).
