Since I'm new - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

rustyold72 · 10-10-2003, 09:59 PM

I guess I should say hello

I'm the proud owner of a pile of parts that bear a slight resemblance to a 72 Chevy pickup

Plans for the truck include lowered 3/5, a new engine (leaning toward an HT 383) 700r4 tranny and a frame off restoration to go with the other mods I'm planning. If I can find one I'll post a pic of it

casey · 10-10-2003, 10:18 PM

welcome to the board, look forward to some pics

rustyold72 · 10-10-2003, 10:21 PM

Here's the start

I know it has a GMC grill but it is a Chevy

They might be, but your's is the prettier one (for now)

Longhorn Man · 10-10-2003, 11:33 PM

Welcome to the board. Looks like you have a pretty nice starting point there.
GMC grills rock, don't let the nay-sayers tell you otherwise.

Carl71 · 10-10-2003, 11:35 PM

Welcome, Great truck to start with..

lukecp · 10-10-2003, 11:47 PM

Welcome from Missouri

Nice truck BTW

GMC71k20 · 10-11-2003, 12:15 AM

ya, you should keep the GMC grille. maybe even toss a front axle under it and put some clearance lights on top. besides that its pretty kick ass(dont listen to me. a 2wd truck is next on my list of things to do)

TsgtE662 · 10-11-2003, 12:21 AM

Another welcome from Missouri. Nice lookin truck too! I'd keep the grill too. On second thought I would keep the grill ( for my GMC), you should change it back to a Chevy one! lol
