Just looking back... Before, and after.

[Cw72gmc]

So, I was just going through some old emails, and stumbled accross pictures off of the add on ksl for my truck a few years back. I traded a 1994 Acura Integra Gsr which was in great shape, for this truck. It grew on me and I had to have it. Many friends laughed, cried , and complained that I would trade a mint Integra gsr for it. I will never part with this truck and this shows the major progress I've made in the years I've owned it.

You obviously made the right choice. Get new friends, Acura sucks!

I agree.. hondas and acuras dont get much respect where im from... even if you were to lose a race to a honda you will still get a thumbs up for driving in a classic truck haha... and it will only go up in value unlike any newer car!!!

It has been mine for 3 years, since I was 20. It was started May of 2010 and I just got it done Oct 1 2011

Keep in mind it's not a show truck, it's a daily driver. But i did do rockers floor repair and got all the minor stuff smoothed over.

I cant decide on the wheels. I got them for a 100 with the bf all terrains when my friend totalled his truck. The tires at that point had a thousand miles on them. If i keep them I'll polish them and put smaller profile tires on. However if I can find an affordable set, I would prefer to change them out.

Oh yeah, I've always wanted a 67-72 but in high school had the Integra. I agree I'm not a honda / acura fan anymore.

But I will say my integra wasn't what they call around here "Beanered" out No offense to anyone. It was a clean mint stock, no stick on emblems to add horsepower lol. It was ok for what it was, not a race car, not a benz. Just a driver.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. The truck means more to me than "it just grew on me" in place of an integra. My grandfather had a 72. He passed away in 95. I remember always going to the dump, fishing, to the gas station etc with him. When he died he donated his body to the University of utah, in hopes that the science may help cure diabetes as he saw what I went through from the age of 1. So since I was old enough to know what these trucks were (like 7) lol I wanted to get one and figured it would be a way for me to remember him, and knowing how much he would enjoy it is just a way of giving back for what he did for me. I'll have to find a few pics of his back in the day.
