Found me a possible truck 1971 gmc swb

[Liz]

Agreed.. its only 2 pm. Lets hope he is simply washing it up and getting it home etc.

[Ol Blue K20]

If he got it he'll be so excited he be out with it and forget about the computer. It might be days before he remembers us!!!

[kowboy63]

Let's hope no news is good news. Like Ol Blue said, if he got it he'll be so excited he'll forget about the computer for a while. I'm assuming he got it because I believe if he didn't he'd already be on here letting us know that he got stood up on the cougar sale.

[SCHRUMGMC]

Oh I don't hate anyone trust me..I understand everyone's comment and why they said it to me
Haha I hope this will bring the Country girls around soon when its running


Alright time to explain something

in the bed...The Left side is rusted through pretty bad where water sat for a long period of time..Rockers are bad and I mean bad


The Fan turns freely...thankfully..

Question, if I try to crank it up when theres no Tranny attached will it blow the motor ?

[stexag]

Congratulations. You persevered. Doesn't it feel good???

Again, Congrats.

[Bhelton]

Very glad you got the truck, now get off the Internet and get to cleaning. Start a build thread and like others have said anything you take off bag and label. Make sure to take good pics and most rusty parts you need to replace can be had local. Good luck with it and there is lots of help on this forum and I have that starter if you need it you just have to come get it!

Good job!!!!

Don't worry about no pics of it on the wrecker, you will have that image in your mind the rest of your life.

[67c10rustbuket]

It won't blow up but you should not star it because the engine is not held in place very well without a trans holding it up. It may shake around a bit bust the dust cap off on the firewall then flop forward and put the fan through the shroud and destroy your fan and radiator and damage your ego a little bit too.





Oh welcome to the family little brother schrum

well looky looky what we have here. congratulations on the new ride. don't try to crank that truck up until you drain out that old nasty fuel. put fresh fuel in it first and then crank it up. the old gas will gum up the engine and that will blow it up

[SCHRUMGMC]

Thanks everyone

Bhelton-Its storming really bad here in Lincolnton..I will run by when my Jetta gets fixed..uhhh around Monday or so

My excitement to see it coming down the road on the Rollback..I was so happy it was unbelievable


and I'll be sure to get the Tranny in before I do that LMAO


IT HAS DUAL EXHAUST ON IT !!!!!

Wheel wells look great..Grille is alright..The Dash is Great, I can get a A/C Dash up the way for cheap

Well I am going to lay down my Stress level is out of this world ...

[STOCKISH]

HELL YEAH!! Im glad you got it buddy. If you need anything feel free to ask. Looking forward to seeing this transpire into your dream truck.

[71sierragrande]

The Schrummobile make its entrance! Great job. Did the PO say anything about the engine? The reason I ask is that the truck was parked for a reason, and since the trans was removed it was probably usable. That may mean there was a problem with the engine. Hope not.

[SCHRUMGMC]

It's Schrum !!! lol

Story goes the Transmission was going out..and it would only go in reverse.They took it out and her daughter sold it without them knowing

I am going back over there now since it FINALLY quit raining to go clean it up with some MEAN GREEN and Gloves


Do not want to get Spider or Snake bit from under the seat

I will be back on later

In the mean time here's some music
