I'd like to throw in my 2¢ on the future of the truck... It's admirable to keep the truck stock but will it have some cosmic effect on the world if you do a Porterbuilt build with it? I don’t believe so. I would LOVE to be starting my build with an essentially rust free truck that has all of the correct parts. It's your truck now; you should do as you please with it. Again, just my 2¢. Very sweet truck!!

I'm a dealer for PB and have an extreme front and rear kit sitting here so trust me, the thought crossed my mind.

Cool, is that a Blazer in your avatar?

Leroy-B1 · 03-22-2014, 09:52 PM

Looks even better in person...thanks for letting me see it

chrisestes · 03-24-2014, 04:54 PM

very nice find!!!

oldno7 · 03-25-2014, 08:18 PM

Ok so I just don't know what to say. I think we have all dreamed about this, finding an all original truck that is. I'm very happy for you, and ofcourse its yours to do what you wish. I myself would drive and enjoy it as it is. I hope you know how lucky you are. There are thousands of people that would love to have your truck, it is just INCREDIBLE!!!!!!

Thanks, yeah I know how lucky I was to find it. If one of those "thousands" of people who would love to own it come up with enough cash…They might get their chance!

AJAX would brighten those whitewalls up a lot.

atp · 03-25-2014, 08:31 PM

No that's a suburban I had. I did build a Porterbuilt LS Blazer a while back.

atp · 03-30-2014, 07:44 PM

Well I thought Patti had a new home with Buck68 but it didn't pan out so I will get back to posting updates ASAP...

atp · 03-31-2014, 08:47 PM

A little more clean up today...just wish the bed was a little nicer

I'd say that is one of the best beds around for being a survivor that still has all it's metal intact.

This truck has cleaned up really nice. Great work!

**Oregon 1967 GMC** · 03-31-2014, 09:20 PM

solid truck and I would leave it as is for awhile, maybe something will happen that triggers a change. Of course if the engine's shot you'll have to do something about that. Good luck and don't wash the paint off.

Why are you selling it? That is a nice truck and not easy to come by like that.

CC69Rat · 04-10-2014, 07:40 PM

Its a killer truck regardless, just like it is now... but I also can't wait to see what Nate has in store for it.

Keep us posted.

c20pickup · 04-11-2014, 09:57 AM

BrianG · 04-11-2014, 10:02 AM

99.9% of the time I don't care, or the truck has a lot of "patina..." and doesn't matter anyway... but I too would love to see this one left alone. I talked to the wife about buying it, I love it, green and all, but she didn't want me to let my 67 go.

She'll be the lowest most original truck there is soon

Man, those pics make me miss the mountains...spring was always my favorite time of year because it was time for trout.

Congrats on the sale...can't wait to see how it turns out with the new owner.
