hehe yeah it get's some looks! Front and rear of the bed was shortened. I am actually in the process of putting a real shortbed frame under it (it was originally a longbed and the PO just moved the axle up and cut off the back of the frame) and I am going to put a 73-87 Stepside bed on it, so it will still have the short step, and still be unique, but I won't have those cut up fenders anymore. Check out my build thread for more info (don't want to hi-jack this thread )

1st 2 pics are my '72 I used to have, 2nd pic is my '69 that I recently got. The '69 just got the flatblack makeover, next up on the list is a new crate motor for her. 4th pic is the '69 before she got her makeover...

yes in fact they do. I have 2 of them in my garage. I would highly suggest against buying any made across the ocean. they start rusting in 3 or 4 months.

here's a PS that was done here a while back. I think it was Zumo who did this. the cab is stretched by 4". maybe someone can throw some moons on it for you.

It's good to see this thread still going. I havent worked on my GMC for a while due to lack of parts but as soon as i find where to buy a inner cab roof panel to fix my rust along the windshield i'll get started on it again. I found a guy in my town that sells autobody supplies cheap and he said he has a single stage paint that is called Hot Rod black so i'm going to go with that for my paint instead of the rattle can or flat black primer. I figure it will last longer with actual paint on it. Its good to see all of the pics though. Thanks guys.

Finally back running again been sitting up since March of this year.
Test drove yesterday since lowering her and installing a rebuilt rearend.+

Not sure if I should keep my wheels chrome or spray rallye silver.

Here's one with the baby moons. Perhaps Photo Shop will put a flat black paint on. It's ok with me.

Hey Frenchblue72, thanks for the site with all of those chevy truck replacement panels. I am ordering that inner roof panel, LH floor pan, LH front floor support, LH inner rocker, and LH outer rocker. That will make my truck all nice and solid so i can get some paint on it and hopefully have it on the street by spring of 2008.

Does anyone know what size drop,rim size and tire size are on that black 69-70 flat black longbed with the white walls? It's exactly what I'm looking to achieve. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks Guys and Gals.
