Hey, Hey, Hey,
Finally got me a 3/4 Ton 4x4 GMC
Not many options but I got it for a steal and it runs pretty good other than the burnt valve (possibly). Guess I will have to start me a new Build Thread
Guess that I am gonna have to change my avitar

Nice looking truck. Where do you live in Idaho? I have relatives in Boise and Meridian. I love that tractor wrecking yard in Nampa!

Me too, I live in Nampa. I know lots of the yards around here that have parts.

You mean like the ones you worked so hard to find and get?

and no they are custome made tow hooks cut from a sheet of metal with a oxy torch
the PO put them on it.
Man are my hands sore after the rubing compound and painting and cleaning.
Can't wait to get the paint finished up (getting rid of the oxydization) and then buff buff buff back to a clear shine

72armyswbtruck · 04-05-2007, 12:50 AM

Ok here is some pics of the wheel well before and after.
