1967 GMC - SWB, great patina
After nearly a decade of watching this C10 sink lower and lower into the dirt, I recently picked up this ‘67 and will be puttering over the winter.
It was in Texas around 1982, went to Colorado at some point and wears a 1999 license plate. It came with a spare rear glass wrapped in Colorado newspaper from 2009, then I first laid eyes on it in Vermont in 2015. 250 / 3 on the tree, replaced with an SM465 & high hump. Tags on the Dana44 indicate 3.54’s with limited slip ✅ —— I jacked it out of the grass, pulled all 4 wheels, shoved in tubes and aired it up enough to drag across the lot and onto the car hauler. It ran on starting fluid after buying an HEI, but wouldn’t pump gas and what I did cram in, poured out of the carb like a watering can. Very solid bones, especially for sitting in the grass for a decade. A couple cab mounts are tender but all there, the rockers and cab corners are structural but have some small holes starting. Floors are mint, as are the firewall, cowl vent leaf collection area, drip rail, etc etc. A local locksmith cut me a few keys with the code from the door cylinder, which luckily matched the ignition. First photo is when i saw it in 2016. From there, photos are current day. Last edited by WorldsCrappiestTruck; Yesterday at 10:16 PM. |

My '72 also had the Texas sunburn when I bought it in 2007
