Looks like it would make a nice truck for sure. Not much rust looking from the outside...

Re: Garden Grove Truck
Forgot about this thread. So nobody owns it here? Yea I thought it looked funny with the 6lug front 5 lug swap and the tires look funny. BUt has alot of potential. I wonder if the front has bags. 3 or 4" front drop would look nice. Does look like you truck a bit C/10 KIng

That bumper must weigh a thousand pounds for it to squat the rear like that

Nice where you been hiding that truck? Never seen it here. I like the look of your truck alot more. Makes more sense why you have it like that. haha.

Re: Garden Grove Truck
mine looked a lot like that for a couple of days. I put on new factory leaf springs on the front and it lifted the truck about 3" and left the back end down there, so since then I have added some 3" blocks to even out the back, and it looks good again. also I have had the truck for about a year now, I bought if from my parents, but it was originally my grandpa's and also I just joined in june, so I haven't been here long.

Re: Garden Grove Truck
I just realized that. I thought I was cause the tires where to small. But your right. That rear end look so narrow. Could still be fixed I bet. I never liked these trucks sittin lower in the back than front. 66 chevy/gmc and older look took taildragger but 67-72 look good even stance or alil rake in the rear.
