This Ones for Work - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Finally got all the parts/accesories to complete my work truck.

-Nice deep cross over box
-Roll top tonnue to keep the rain and snow out
-Ladder rack that will slide for any application but can also be removed when not in use or needed.
-Four draws in the bed that extends 50" deep to hold all the small stuff
Everthings aluminum, so no rust!

Oh yeah, decided to put my logo on this truck too. Period looking, IMO
It's one of those magnetic types so when ever I want, off it comes.

The reactions to it are really cool, people love these old trucks.

Thought I'd share, what do ya think?
Messy in the bed due to a very busy day.

I think that looks awesome! At the lumber yard, we are going to be fixing up our old 65 GMC 930, complete with a wooden flat deck and a hoist. These old trucks make killer work trucks.

Nice truck! Nice stack of fire wood you got there too. Expecting a cold one up there this winter?

Joe67 · 10-13-2005, 08:30 PM

Nice rig. Good to see them put to work once in a while

Thats nothing, the stack you can see is the 'overflow' pile.
The rest of the pile fills an area 10ft x 24ft by 7ft tall.

Got about 10-plus cords, cut/split/stacked waiting to keep me nice and warm.

That is a very good looking rig there. I gotta say, hte blue looks killer. I like that 10 times more than the pastel blue normally used in that paint combo.

Russell · 10-13-2005, 09:33 PM

Those are the exact colors I want my GMC painted, can you PM me with the paint codes? Assuming you know / remember what they are

68C15 · 10-13-2005, 09:36 PM

can I assume the work truck pulls double duty as a play truck. (I see a super swamper in the first pic)

classicchev · 10-13-2005, 09:39 PM

Got to love a true work truck, ladder racks and all. I have a 72 that I have been driving every day for 7 years, never missing a beat.

You should be using the panel as the work truck, much cooler

matthufham · 10-13-2005, 09:46 PM

that's a nice truck. i hope you know it's gonna get scratched up real soon putting it to work like that.

*72CSTC5* · 10-13-2005, 11:14 PM

Show off...Just kidding. LOL!! Looking good already just like all of your stuff. When are you going to work on that Trailblazer of yours?

Aquivarious · 10-14-2005, 01:55 AM

Looks good enough in the showroom and you use it for work? Gotta love these guys, but hey, nice looking rig!
