Hello from Grand Forks B.C. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Bluerocket · 12-24-2005, 11:05 PM

New Canucklehead here. Have been hanging around reading posts for some time but haven't chipped in until now.
Thought it was time to introduce my project, 1969 short fleet, bought it last spring. Tore it down to frame, cab is currently in the shop of a friend that does body work out of his backyard and the sandblasted frame is in my garage waiting for me to get thru the holiday and start bolting some pcs. back on. Disc/dropped spindle kit from Heartbeat, 4" dropped rear springs, shock relocator and adjustable trac bar to start. Cab should be home soon.
Attached photo is the day it came to its new home.
Hope I have done this right!

Welcome from N Texas. Looks like a pretty solid place to start. Show us some pics of your progress. Also looks like some pretty good shop help on the front of your trailer.

Thanks for the welcome guys.

MDC my shop help is a Jack Russell named Ralphie, he actually is good for nothing but eating and raising hell but I love him anyway.

Doug those are cali plates, you have sharp eyes. I bought the truck from a reseller in oregon, he got it from a farmer in northern CA and the farmer bought it from the BLM. Inside the cab is that brutal BLM green or I should say was, it is now in primer as all the rust repair is complete. Will post pictures when I finish the roll of 36 in my camera and get them developed. [An old dog doesn't think he needs a digital] I have spent lots of time in Spokane. Used to play hochey down there all the time.
