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!!

stock, original, factory, ...NICE!

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!!!!!!

AJAX would brighten those whitewalls up a lot.

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

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!

Cool, is that a Blazer in your avatar?

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.

He'll keep it factory stock of course!!

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

atp · 04-11-2014, 11:38 AM

I hear ya, but financially I can't afford to keep this truck. I had hoped to get in it cheap enough to just enjoy but that didn't happen. They're only original once, but Nate was more than fair in his offer, so I'll let you guys be mad at him! LOL

19673ontree · 04-11-2014, 12:10 PM

I love stock trucks myself , but the world does not for the most part theses trucks are pretty much modified 99.9% of the time ,, that is a great truck no matter what ,,,

C10_ustacould · 04-11-2014, 12:59 PM

I think it will make an awesome drop member truck!
