Bingo! a very old repaint.

Yeah, It's a little rougher than I usually buy, but for the price and the dependability (the owner said he's driven it to Washington and Montana) plus the options (make mine "soft ray"

) and half a tank of gas!!!!! I couldn't pass it up.

awesome score you got there

its funny how trucks seem too find you every 3-6 months

I'm curious thought it looks like it has a larger 68-72 ignition switch bezel?(maybe its just hard too see in the pick)

This not one that I would have bagged. The ignition is correct, it's the lighter that I think is wrong.

Haha, Im sure I didnt inspire him to take it off

But If it was my Truck I would

**special-K** · 01-13-2013, 03:38 PM

Ah man,that rack makes that truck. It gives it that utilitarian little hard working burro look.

Rene,I'll look at the pictures again,see what I have,and drop you a line.

SCHRUMGMC · 01-13-2013, 03:41 PM

I saw a 1971 GMC with that Metal stuff on it..It looks horrible to me

C/10 King · 01-13-2013, 03:57 PM

*****News Flash*****

As you all know most of my trucks get named, well my cousin "Barcobear" just came up with a fitting name for this 67'....... Lo and behold, from this day forward it shall be called......

"Meth Baby"

When he first saw it he said "it looks like it's on meth, so I said "this your shortbed on meth", soooooo don't be surprised if you see a old looking "Meth Motors" logo on the doors soon.

I think it suits it, what do you think?????

SCHRUMGMC · 01-13-2013, 03:58 PM

Thats unique man Lol, and funny at the same time

Remember, sometimes horrible is cool.

SCHRUMGMC · 01-13-2013, 04:04 PM

Yeah True, A Newer Metal Frame would look better if so

Zoomin · 01-13-2013, 04:08 PM

Meth Baby?

To me that's sadder than cute, even though he's right.
