My truck Project
Ok for a little backround. As you probably see i live in Des Moines, IA and i go to lincoln highschool. Im 15 and im building a truck. Im building my 69 gmc 3/4 ton just to drive for next year. Im hoping to either fix my wrecked 72 1/2 ton or buy another 1/2 to build for a truck since it has already been decided that i cant take the 69 with me to collage. Its going to probably be a very long project and im not exactly sure where ill end up with it. I also race go karts, play paintball, and play golf. This is only a free time thing for right now, i have many other things that eat up my time first. So now some start pics...
the GMC

Re: My truck Project
Ok sorry for taking so long for an update ive been racing a lot lately and had drivers ed. But so far all ive really done is make a parts list for the a/c. I've also been told that the compressor isnt the original one. its out of a later model truck just to make it harder to find a bracket. But ive pretty much set a game plan for myself now. All i really want to do for now is fix the rust in the cab, get the a/c working, get sound proof stuff and capet, and paint it.
