First trip out

A little stretch

So ready for a new set of wheels and tires

1985-GMC · 08-12-2011, 04:36 PM

I hope those aren't F*^# mirrors!

**Dieselwrencher** · 08-12-2011, 05:14 PM

Um, they are.

jdevore05 · 08-14-2011, 06:37 PM

Hey guys another new one to the site here, well I've been reading articles on the site for a couple years now but I've never really posted before. Just wanted to say this is a great site that I've gotten a lot of information from.

Here's a pic of my 68 short stepside on 38" TSLs. Sorry it's a really bad picture it's an old camera phone picture and the only one I have of it. Here pretty soon I'll be needing some help cause I have a few plans on fixing it up a little so I hope some of you are ready for me to pick your brains!

They're parts store mirrors. I'll probably pick up a set of Ford mirrors to use on those mounts. Eh, the Ford guys have been using our motors forever.

Its all about the functionality. I can't see chit in those peep mirrors, and I'm not a fan of the chevy tow/camper mirrors.

Here is my 68 that I just got a few days ago. Original truck from Casper Wyoming. Bought new there on Oct 14 1967.

Maxxd07 · 08-20-2011, 12:23 PM

Cool color combo^

75gmc454 · 08-20-2011, 09:56 PM

Thanks. There are some great looking 4x4s in this thread. I think the silver off white with the red interior is a great combo.

Here is a little more info.
The truck was bought new at Shellabarger Chevrolet in Casper.

TruckGuy5772 · 08-24-2011, 05:44 PM

Hey guys, love all the 4x4's...I'm currently working on a 72 k10 myself. I've got a thread about it if you'd like to check it out. I'd appreciate any comments or thoughts you'd have. Thanks
