Eye candy for the bone-stock crowd - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well, I've basically finished the restoration of Maych. After all the work it's fun to drive him around town and watch all the rubber-necking. I haven't finished recording everything on my web site, but I thought I would share a few sneak-peak photos.

Warning to the street rod/custom fans -- Maych is a bone-stock, numbers matched truck, right down to the factory hub caps and AM radio.

jonnyp that is just beautiful!! I have been watching and reading about your project since I came to this board. I am going for a different look, but that in no way means I don't truely love Maych. I can't wait until you get the web site updated. It has been useful for me in my project. Great work, you should be proud!!

johnnyp · 12-12-2002, 05:29 PM

LOL huck. BTW, I did use "the trick" on the hood. Still needs a little tweaking though. Got a little more work to do under the hood and may have to take it off again, so I'll leave it along for know.

DanoDMano · 12-12-2002, 05:35 PM

WHYBYNU · 12-12-2002, 05:52 PM

71Blazer · 12-12-2002, 06:24 PM

WOW! Motor looks great too... I'll be painting mine next week!!

**MikeB** · 12-12-2002, 06:48 PM

And no 3" exhausts with 40 series Flowmasters?

Great truck, down to the sheetmetal plug wire shields. Your truck makes me want to build a stocker -- one with disc brakes and power steering, that is.

KWTRUX · 12-12-2002, 06:56 PM

GREAT JOB!!!

Eddie H. · 12-12-2002, 08:08 PM

That is one beautiful truck. It didn't look that good when it rolled off the assembly line.
I hope the 71 GMC I'm building turns out half that nice.

dashadow · 12-12-2002, 08:25 PM

You folks are going to have to stop posting pictures of these beautiful trucks or you are going to get me in trouble with my wife. I was ooooooooing and aaaaaaaaaahing so much,she thought I was on a porno site!

Better yet,keep posting and I'll try not to be as loud. Good work!

**JQ-72** · 12-12-2002, 08:44 PM

Excellent job!!! It's nice to see another truck done all original (that's how all mine are done). Especially with the full wheel covers and not ralleys. Very nice.

skyhawk1 · 12-12-2002, 08:48 PM
