Mr Green Jeans - the 69 (or not) chevy, er gmc, project

[OKGMC4]

Been driving the 56 gmc with C4 suspension and a 5.3l for a couple years now and I'm itching to do something bigger, flashier, and definitely faster. Problem is, I'm pretty much always broke and nobody in the family wants to see me sell ol' orange. My parents felt sorry for me and my dad has like 15 cars sitting around so in their infinite kindness thay gave me a 69 chevy longbed. Sure the cab is rusted out like swiss cheese, and the steering is downright dangerous, and the 250 engine eats a quart of oil every 50 miles (when it starts) but hey, it's got a title and the price is right...right?
