Look what followed me home this morning... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Classic Heartbeat** · 06-15-2004, 02:05 PM

1972 GMC K-2500!! It needs a seriouse winch and bumperectomy!! Front and rear!! LOL These bumpers are so large it took more steel to make them than it did the entire truck!!! LOL I will take a couple more pictures when I am done removing the bumpers and cleaning it up. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

**Classic Heartbeat** · 06-15-2004, 02:20 PM

better picture of front.

sactoC10 · 06-15-2004, 02:36 PM

from the looks of things in the background there, this is not the first one to follow you home...kinda got the "pied piper" thing going on, eh?

Putter · 06-15-2004, 03:20 PM

That is some serious "extra" metal there. I bet the thing will shed in the neighborhood of 200 lbs after you get those off. Pied Piper...that's funny!

Deuce · 06-15-2004, 03:25 PM

With the high cost of steel,you should make your money back just recycling the bumpers!!!

LUV2XCLR8 · 06-15-2004, 03:39 PM

LMAO, U COULD PAINT IT YELLOW, PUT ON SOME BOGGERS AND CALL IT A

TONKA

**Yukon Jack** · 06-15-2004, 03:54 PM

I like it! Is the winch PTO powered, electric or hydraulic? I agree the bumpers gotta go, after that, it will be an even better truck.

**Canadian694x4** · 06-15-2004, 06:24 PM

Wes...I like it! Definitely need some more pics after you clean 'er up. Looks pretty solid, any bad rust?

**Classic Heartbeat** · 06-15-2004, 06:41 PM

Thanks guys, I almost have the rear bumper off now... Good thing that they were not welded to it....

I got buisy with customers, but I will get the bumpers removed soon. Yukon Jack, It is an 8000LB Warren electric winch. It is the old cable control type but it works great!! I just drug a 2 1/2 ton delivery truck backwards with it in park and ebrake set!!

There is some rust in the truck, however I can fix that...LOL WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

guitarornothin · 06-15-2004, 06:52 PM

all of those trucks Yours?.....
Ever heard of Gluttony!

oh well id have ALOT too if i had money

**Classic Heartbeat** · 06-15-2004, 09:40 PM

Yes guitarornothin, they are all mine with exception of 2 of the trucks... But not all of the trucks that I have are pictured either. If you look at my signature it expains itself. Home for wayword Chevys..LOL Well now I have 4 GMCs to add to the mix...LOL I look at it this way.... They could have gone to a wrecking yard... But now they have a second chance at life...

71GMCStepside · 06-15-2004, 09:46 PM

So now I at least have some idea what your shop looks like Wes! Man, I need to take a loooong vacation and plan me a trip up north!

vtblazer · 06-15-2004, 09:55 PM

Is that swb 4x4 for sale?
PM me, if it is. It may not be for long.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 06-15-2004, 10:18 PM

Sorry but my shorty 4x4 isn't for sale. That is what I drive every day... Well most days anyway..LOL The truck with the yellow cab is a nearly rust free A/C truck, and that is the cab going on my shorty. I just put a new exhaust under it also.. Duel 2 1/2", with searies 40 flowmasters and stainless steel tips.... Sounds tough now!! Hehehe!!

WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

68C15 · 06-15-2004, 10:35 PM

I kind of like the "new" one just the way it was. things like that would scare Osama into priesthood. was that built for John Wayne?

FRENCHBLUE72 · 06-15-2004, 10:44 PM

Funny how once you get one they all seem to follow you home...

FRENCHBLUE72 · 06-15-2004, 10:49 PM

Nice looking burb... Can we see more pic's of the blaz??? Does it really have no side window;s????

krazy_texan · 06-15-2004, 11:00 PM

yeah i to want to see more pics of that blazer it looks really cool

**Classic Heartbeat** · 06-15-2004, 11:04 PM

71GMCStepside, You are more than welcome to come up for a visit.. Do you want to see if you can bring a good rust free 69-72 GMC core support...LOL I have 2 but neither are rust free... Darn batteries anyway!!

68C15, I would like to deliver it to osama personally... If you know what I mean...

FRENCHBLUE72, thanks for the compliments... The Blazer does not have side windows. That is a botched bodyman's mistake. I wanted the windows filled, but not the way he did it. I love the panel look, but now I have one so I will turn the top back to the way it was with windows... WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

**Classic Heartbeat** · 06-15-2004, 11:15 PM

OK, Here is a couple of shots of my Big Block Blazer, made to look like a panel...LOL It looked great when the job was first done, but like I said the bodyman didn't do as I asked... Yes that is plywood rotting away on the side of it... And yes I am extreemly pissed about it... Just one of many reasons that I have work done at my shop now and I try to do it myself if at all possible.... WES

FRENCHBLUE72 · 06-15-2004, 11:20 PM

Damn I bet that top is a heavy S.O.B. Look's pretty clean in the pic's though..

cochran63 · 06-15-2004, 11:20 PM

Would you be interested in selling that old winch?

**Classic Heartbeat** · 06-15-2004, 11:40 PM

Ya, I'm up for offers on it I guess... It works great, but could use new control cables. I have used it without the cables and it pulls like a mother!! WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

Springbear · 06-16-2004, 01:12 AM

Okay... I just bumped my visit up a couple weekends!...

juju808 · 06-16-2004, 08:08 AM

holy wow... i guess thats all i can manage to say when i look at all those that have been provided a lovely home... :p
