my truck saw the sunshine! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Haven't had my truck outside for a year and a half. That's when I pulled it in the shop, pulled it into a pile of parts, and put it back together. So today I fired it up, pulled it outside and put some parts on in the sunshine! So i thought I'd post a few pics for you guys. I'm looking forward to some good driving time this summer!

thanks, 255 85 r16's i believe.

I like your truck and the view out of your shop door. Looks like a great place to live.

Nothing like a 4x4 with air, tilt, and a 4 speed!

Enjoy driving it.

nice truck AND shop...love those buildings

**mac808** · 04-24-2011, 04:02 AM

Wow! Beautiful truck supermike! Shame to keep that indoors for so long.

I can't comprehend not being able to drive around in the truck all year 'round, being where I'm located...

Rob H. · 04-24-2011, 08:32 AM

Great looking truck and beautiful place to live in. Looks like you're going to be very happy this summer!

rsavage · 04-24-2011, 11:06 AM

Beautiful truck, beautiful country, nice work!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 04-24-2011, 12:18 PM

Beautiful truck with some very nice options.

bigolddog · 04-24-2011, 01:46 PM

Well done. Sharp truck. I love it here in Texas,But I sure would like to see myself driving around your part of the country. Absolutely beautiful truck and state.

OJ1988 · 04-24-2011, 02:07 PM

Congrats!
My tailgate sees the sun a lot, mine has been inside for 13 months, but I hope to get it in the sun real soon as well.

Thanks guys! At least with a 4wd I can use this truck all year long! It's sure nice knowing your truck inside and out. And better to be able to actually work on it without a computer. It sure feels good to have it just about done. For you guys with a project in the shop, hang in there, it'll come together!

custom72c20 · 04-24-2011, 03:19 PM

Nice truck!! Have fun driving it. I know I would.

Shyguy · 04-24-2011, 05:21 PM

Good looking truck, I think my next truck will be a 4X4 if I can find one.

There is no sunshine here today. Our place is now an island, all the roads away from our farm are flooded and we can not get out with more rain forecasted.

Enjoy your truck.

stevess11 · 04-24-2011, 06:33 PM

Your truck looks awesome. Are those stock buddy buckets.

Thanks, the buddy buckets are out of a 68 gmc. I bought the truck with the buddies, put my bench seat in it, and sold the truck for what I bought it for. So, I only have into the seat what it cost to have them re-covered. It was a good score.

VA72C10 · 04-24-2011, 08:37 PM

"Super" nice truck!!!

Big Block · 04-24-2011, 09:03 PM

I love it. 3/4 ton Cheyenne 4x4, 4 spd, tilt, tach, AM/FM radio, factory AC, buddy buckets, tow hooks and dual gas tanks. Wow, it doesn't get any better. Great truck! Enjoy driving it. I still see a little snow on top of those mountains. It was 87 here today. Looks like our spring is over and headed in to summer.
