Thinking of getting away from the 64 gmc.

So am i just being dumb or just thinking to much??? A buddy of mine has a 68 chevy c20 396/400'big back window, a/c cab long bed, and power brakes that is all original runs and drives. I dont like the fact that its a c20 but he does have a c10 frame in the yard. Not sure why i've been thinking about this but i know i could sell the 64 gmc and buy the 68 chevy for a good price swap out sup or frame do the brakes. fuel tank and have less in the 68 then what i could get out of the 64. So am i a dumbass for wanting to or not?

I love the gmc and ive done a lot to it to make it what i want but ive always had a soft spot for the 67-68 chevy. A 72 is what i learned to drive in. hell maybe im just thinking out oud here??

Re: Thinking of getting away from the 64 gmc.

That C20 sounds pretty interesting as-is. Got pics? All orig with A/C and PB? ...what about Auto and PS? Nothing wrong with a truck that has real capability. I'd think twice about trading a truck you love for a major project.

396bb, 400 tranny, pb, a/c (but compressors missing with brackets) dash has the factor tach! Not sure about ps i forgot to look. I did go get pics. It's a little rougher then I was thinking it was but wouldn't be as much work as the 64 gmc was.

Re: Thinking of getting away from the 64 gmc.

it is a cool truck with some neat options i see why you want it. as for the cab lights thats what a welder is for. a c20 would make a good hauler if you dont already have one. i just dont know if i would trade my short bed. maybe if it was a running driver that was in the same or better shape than the 64. you could always do what i do tell her you where given the c20 then she would have to let you keep both

If you don't want your 64 then just give it to me! I'll give it a good home!

Re: Thinking of getting away from the 64 gmc.

Well i sleep on it last night and i think it would be kool as hell to have the 68 c20 BB but i've done so much to mine and found all the good parts to put it together i think id be a fool to get rid of her now.

I've already done all the hard part now its time to drive and enjoy. beside i do have the wife's 65 plymouth fury III 2 door hard top BB 4speed posi to work on. and all ready told her that when we were done with hers i had plans to upgrade my motor and trans. cause i wasn't going to have a mopar beat the truck. But that will have to be another day.

Thanks for all the advice. Even though i have a soft spot for the 67-72 i know my truck in and out.
