You need one of these to put under that new/old air cleaner, then it will fit.

No drop here, just junkyard tires. I would like to level it out some but not sure what size tires would be best to do that!

Out with the old Ford Seat. Bad karma even if there was some spare change under it!

Spare change

Yeah get that out of there

If you ever need a seat recovered, or any interior work, look up Murdocks' upholstery in brevard, nc. He does excellent work...he recovered the seat in my 86, and I got my 67 GMC from him.

kind regards

Picked up a ton of parts from Dave's in Clairemont, NC. Rocker panels, cab corners, dash pad, front fender, roll pan but best of all is my new shaved manifold!

Love to see a gmc on here, so many guys want to change that front end to a chevy two headlight set up but I'm a fan of the four headlights.

Four eyes has greater night vision!

[tsali39]

Betty has a few upgrades, but many problems persist.

[tsali39]

Tunes by way of a 1963 Buick Invicta...

[tsali39]

In ten days the cab will undergo new rockers, cab corners and be on the way to cleaning up the interior.

I really like your truck man! It would be really nice if you could post some clearer pictures of your truck in daylight so we can see it better... I'd like to get a better look at it...

I am having trouble posting on 2 different websites, so I am concentrating on my 67 GMC step side build thread here - http://c10forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14175

My good friend is over there so i find myself there more.

let's see some more detailed pics man, so we can see it nice and clear

kind regards

In daylight Betty looks pretty bad! I will post some clear ones when the new sheet metal is applied.

don't be ashamed of it...it rocks!
it doesn't matter...mine looks pretty rough too, it's kinda hard to see when you have your pics all blurred and doctored....just let us see it how it is, so we can perhaps give more advice etc. so we can help

kind regards

[tsali39]

I am not looking for advice here! Just sharing the love of old trucks!

was hoping to get clearer pics is all, so I could get ideas for my truck, no problem, sorry I made the suggestion... good luck

[JJ's Sierra Grande]

Naphtali5725 I thought your suggestion was a valid one for the pics.
I am with you, any time I can get free advice from people who may have more experience than myself I am more than happy to take it.

starting to see progress

[tsali39]

Yes, but little things are still getting int he way of any declairation of progress. I have three dash panels, none can I get all lights working! One has turn signals but nothing else. Another has GEN and OIL but nothing else and a third has nothing lit at all. Fuses good, 12 volt to # 12 good? That and I need some work to remove a shift kit from the turbo 400. I will post some clear photos when I return from the beach to show how pitiful this Betty is! Cheers!
