2wd gmc into 4wd
I had a half ton 4x4 frame I bought 10 or so years ago with the intentions of slowly building up a truck,never got around to it and everytime my son would see it over in my moms garage where I had it stored he would comment we should do something with that thing.Well I found a 2WD that had been in a flood and the owner gave up on it so we started 6 months ago and put together what turned out to be a pretty awesome truck if i do say so myself.I ended up giving it to my son on his 21st b-day with 3 stipulations 1.dont beat the **** out of it.2.I can drive it whenever your not.3.It gets painted eventually.Now back to my own project....68 SWB 4x4 with a 4.8 LS.Here are some pics

Re: 2wd gmc into 4wd
Nice! Nice pair of trucks for that matter. What up with that glove box? guessing you made it using an original for a pattern?? Kind of a cool idea.
