young olds · 09-12-2014, 01:33 AM

Im new here and to trucks really, i havent been much for trucks. I recently got a 69 gmc that my aunt has had sitting for quite some time. I have questions and since im not well versed at all with trucks, but wanted to introduce myself first. My name is roger, im 20, been a car guy my whole life but more into the drag race hot rod muscle car thing. My other vehicles include a 1962 oldsmobile f85 cutlass and a 1962 oldsmobile f85 deluxe wagon, Im an olds guy.

Welcome Roger from Australia.
That's a nice lookin truck you have there. There is no question that can't be answered by the members of the board.
Any idea what the seats are out of? Any chance of a closer picture of the windscreen visor?

Xeen · 09-12-2014, 04:11 AM

Welcome to the board.
That is a very nice shade of green.
Those seats look very comfortable.

hugger6933 · 09-12-2014, 07:15 AM

Welcome Rodger your uncle or aunt must have been a pretty cool car people as well, cause that truck is really nice. Welcome to you from Arkansas. Jim

flashed · 09-12-2014, 07:25 AM

Welcome to the forum. You're among friends here. Our members should be able to answer any questions you have or tell you where to find the answers.

That's a heck of a nice looking truck you have there. What are your plans other than driving it?

they are flexsteel seats, from my research they were a furniture company that also made aftermarket truck seats. and yes they are amazingly comfortable. It try to remember to get better pics of the sun visor, its fiberglass and the fit makes me believe it was made for the truck and not a universal piece, there are also numbers on it but i havent checked them out yet.

actually not at all, my dad replaced the engine in it twice for him because he didnt treat it right. after he passed away my aunt always kept it garaged or in storage. It appears to have a maaco style paint job as you can see the stock color underneath.

hdff · 09-12-2014, 02:52 PM

welcome from the great state of Texas... nice truck!

spatz · 09-12-2014, 03:03 PM

I don't have plans right now, I thought about putting in an olds 403 and 700r4 but I'm just going to enjoy it the way it is for now

dmartin1 · 09-12-2014, 04:10 PM

hey bud, welcome from northwest arizona!

sweet GMC!

lets see some pics of the oldsmobiles!

slowcpe · 09-12-2014, 04:54 PM

Welcome from the middle of the cornfields. I was once an Olds guy (still like them but no longer own my Cutlass) and into more of the drag/street racing scene. Nice truck and it'll make a great parts getter and car hauler.

Flex steel makes some very comfortable couches so I could only imagine those are just as nice.

As stated before: we want to see pics of the Olds!

young olds · 09-12-2014, 05:14 PM

if you click the links in my sig you will find my thread on the olds, if you want to see more.

Im not running the same rear set up as in the picture, its now a back halved with chassisworks eliminator II and 15x10 wheels to match the front, no tires yet.

the wagon is pretty rough and i havent done much to it since i got it back in december, Im saving it for a later project.

flashed · 09-12-2014, 08:56 PM

Those are nice toys ,I like em.

young olds · 09-12-2014, 11:08 PM
