I think she's a basket case :(
College buddy of mine gave me a 69 GMC LWB, complete running truck, but I think she's shot.
 The bad: 307/3 on the tree...120k miles drum/drum power nothing wood bed....toast non air cab....whole bottom is toast doors are sagging door bottoms......rotten fender bottoms....rotten gas tank...small leak frame....rotten above rear axle wood bed......toast window regs .....tied up 1 broken leaf rear step bumper....rotten grill dinged multiple places steering wheel...toast tailgate....bottom is rotten....heavily dented, but functional The good: 3.73 leaf spring rear good glass 5 original 15x5 6 lug wheels with the original caps (marginal condition) good trans as far as I can tell Looks to be a straight CHEVY turn signal front bumper (bad paint) Original am radio.....not sure if it works green interior....including visors ashtray decent seat...seams are busted but foam is good, doesn't appear original low hump locks all work well off of single key good paintable steel door panels radiator seat belts Anyone think I'm stoned to just part this thing out and say goodbye? |

Send it down the road in peices. Way too much effort to save it but maybe her organs can be donated to save some others!

bad body, bad frame, bad motor...
Uh the only thing good about it was the price.. you don't sound like you want to fixer up, so why not part it out... I can speak for myself only, but my time, energy, and hard earned $$$ are very valuable to me... so why undertake a project that you don't really want to unless, your Buddy gave it to you with the hopes of you ressurrecting it... and I won't even touch that one...
Wish i got a deal like that... but then i don't have the place for a parts truck, wait I don't even have the room for my truck... but i'm keeping it... |

Sounds like a typical Ohio truck to me.
I say part that sucker out. The hood is the only salvagable body panels isn't it? |

Longhorn....you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about
 Anybody need a surface rusted but good hood? LOL Honestly I'd love nothing more than to restore it, especially since my buddy was hoping I could resurrect it. It could be done, but at a huge financial loss. I could put $8,000 in it and end up with a $3000 truck. There's MUCH better raw material out there than this old gal.....It's sad, but true. The 307 runs but she's way overdue for a set of bearings. Still might keep it and play with it....I have a great 300HP recipe for it. Would make one heck of an s-10 motor.

Hey all my college buddies ever gave me was alcohol. Notice I didn't say that was a bad thing!
