I call this my "Rattle Can" restoration. Bought this one out of California. 66 GMC Custom Carryall. The original v6 was seized up so I installed a 1970 400 SB automatic, 72 disc brakes, 2 inch dropped spindles, later PS out of a 76 truck. I two toned the body with Krylon satin white with matched rims. Firewall I had a paint store match the GMC green in a rattle can. The idea was to use parts I already had and build a low budget driver.

Nicely done Jon. The addition of the white panel is spot on. That thin GMC trim looks so much better with a two-tone paint scheme. What a great driver!.

Wow I like everything you've done, but especially that small block GMC engine! Those decals are too cool. The whole rig looks so well thought out. The two tone brings the whole truck alive, along with the wheels, hubcaps, etc. And that beautiful chrome front end is the finishing touch. Nice job.

Thanks Markeb01, I ended up having to remove those 327 covers for later 68 covers with breather/pvc holes, the filler tube breather in the intake just wasnt enough. . I also used Corvette 2 1/2 inch exhaust to let it breath. Its a blast to drive, already broke one set of spider gears in the dana 44
