Lets show only Fixer uppers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

dubie · 10-22-2002, 09:10 AM

Following suit with all the other posts, lets see your beaters and fixer uppers. Ones that are missing parts, have 6 different colors of paint on them, no powertrains, rusting bodies etc.....

Here is my multi colored 72 before the front end and box cam off a couple weeks ago.

wild@work · 10-22-2002, 09:42 AM

Well, you've all seen it before, but I will play ..

slam33 · 10-22-2002, 09:47 AM

Ok I guess I can show you what I'm working with. Remember this doubles as my work truck too.

Xzavior240 · 10-22-2002, 09:52 AM

awww come on do I have to???

***Liz*** · 10-22-2002, 10:39 AM

Heres HEAVY CHEVYs toy. I used it as a daily driver when he was over the road driving. Then it sat for about 3 years , because some kids decided to do some serious damage to it one night. He has just recently got it running again, and back on the road. Which I thing is due largely to the board , thank you

We have alot to do, to get it back to where it was. Funny thing is he can't even take it on a test run without our 2 yr old jumping in.
I had a full body view and just messed it up when i was resizing it.......

jostrans68 · 10-22-2002, 10:46 AM

otay old Pic has new cab and fenders and half primered next year maybe....LOL

Over_My_Head · 10-22-2002, 10:52 AM

Well you've seen it before. Just remember this is pretty good shape for a Canadian truck that has sat in a field for 10 years.

Still trying to decide where to start and what to fix vs replace.

dubie · 10-22-2002, 10:59 AM

I might be doing the same with my 72, the flatbed idea. I'm just trying to decide what to do with my fleetside bed. I will either sell it or go to the yard and get the rear part of a frame and cut it into a trailer.

Great pics, keep em coming!!!

wlee · 10-22-2002, 11:13 AM

Here's one I'm building - I plan to put it on Ebay when it's done.

It's a 1970 CST 20 Longbed automatic with factory air. The front clip is off and the bed comes off this weekend. I doing a frame-off resto and plan to replace just about everything. The original color is GM #514 Medium red with #521 pure white top & lower panels.

Over_My_Head · 10-22-2002, 11:14 AM

Dubie - glad to hear that someone else like flat beds! I have had all kinds of people try to get me to buy a box but I like the look of a flat bed. I am going to rip off the old one and build one out of oak. I think a fully finished oak flat bed would look kick a$$ on these trucks.

Trevor

dubie · 10-22-2002, 11:19 AM

My plans are for a steel framed flatbed that sits above the wheels and has fir layed down in between the rails. Also looking at adding a headache rack and a nice custom bumper. I think Flatbeds on 67-72's look amazing. Only hope mine will turn to be half as nice as some of the other guys running flatty's on here. I have some good pics if ya wanna see some . Let me know and I can post em for ya

Xzavior240 · 10-22-2002, 12:09 PM

ok heres the clunker couldnt find the pic earlier looks different now though got more of the paint done and that big black spot on the front fender is gone. still gotta long way to go.

dion · 10-22-2002, 12:28 PM

Hey Bill, what kind of rims are those? I'm looking to get somthing simular.

landon4421 · 10-22-2002, 12:37 PM

OK this one is mine. this pic taken about two years ago. But I'm still working on it. Totally taken down to the frame at this time. hope you like, more pics to come.

bobs409 · 10-22-2002, 12:37 PM

Here's my '71 C-20 that I paid $50 dollars for. It was me or the scrap yard as the past owner had no where to put it. I saved it from that dreded one way trip. That would have been a real waste as this truck is pretty darn solid and it's no plain jane either. Work on this one is going a bit slow because of my other projects but this truck will look good again one day. Plans are to paint it it's original hugger orange again after a bit of cutting, welding, grinding and cursing! LOL

Best damn trucks on the planet!

Links to more piccys are in the sig.

Mine is pretty much a daily driver at the moment.
I am the second owner with My Grandfather being the original owner. I pretty much grew up with this truck and will be restoring it in the near future.
