Re: Red Truck 2.0
Finally got some trim rings for the rallies and a 442 steering wheel at a swap meet.
The steering wheel is the same as the one that was in my truck when it got stolen. The one that got stolen was in every one of my dads cars and trucks since the late 70's. So I had to replace it. |

Re: Red Truck 2.0
I got a donor truck for the rebuild of my original truck! Its an 86 and it was in California for most of its life. The frame still has paint on it, pretty rare for around here. $700 with a good running 350. It has super clean original doors on it too. I will shorten the frame and swap the cab and bed off of red truck 1.
And a pic of the red truck 1 in its current state |

Your truck looks very nice! What size your rally wheels are? 8x15" or 10x15"? We buy our own truck project front 8x15" rallys and rear 10x15" and we don't know what size is best of these wheels. Thanks in advance.

Re: Red Truck 2.0
I haven't updated in a while so this is what's up
Got Red Truck 1 stripped. The front part of the frame is trashed. From the trans cross member back it is still square. I will section the back part of the red truck on the front part of the blue truck. I ordered my air ride on black Friday and saved big. Merry Christmas to me! |

Re: Red Truck 2.0
Welcome to the site Yrik! Do you have more pics of the blue 86? I have a blue 1987 GMC with pretty much the same color scheme (except yours has the painted cab roof). Trying to decide on how to paint my truck. Thanks
