'Loaded up and Livin' Right'

Can't wait to see how this turns out, Ron. I agree with about K5s but I picked up an 88 with 3/4 tons already under it to build.

Hmm... Garamond is usually a giveaway for copy/pasting from a vBulletin site.

Pretty sure thats georgia not Garamond

 

[shawn]

Yeah, you're right.

So where are the updates? I don't want to hear about how you're still waiting for the LMC Truck catalog to show up....

 

[Ron]

haha...negatory on the LMC book.
We may use them at some point but Ive got 3 local shops that specialize in 67-72 GM stuff that I can probably get whatever I need there first.

Only thing done so far is a shit ton of pressure washing and gutting the inside to find the back end and inner wheel wells are flawless. Ill throw a pic of that up for tonight maybe.

Then We will pull her over to the shop to break out the torches and welders and hopefully get all the rust repair done this week before I go spend a week in the keys. But itll be tight Im spendinf the next 2 days in Wisconsin...

I know you probably already know this, but I've bought a ton of stuff for my 71 from Brother's Trucks. They always had the best prices and they ship fast as hell.

Lots of good work and the derivetrain has been stripped...

I can't wait to see how this turns out, but I'm a bit jealous! I have an old Jimmy rotting away in Wisconsin

 

[OnlyOneDR]

Nice! Want to see pics of the sheet metal repairs!

 

[cardudenc]

they are awesome trucks. looks like you bought a decent piece. I haven't seen any not needing rockers.
ive got a 71 or 72 grazing out in the field. have thought about selling. but havent been able to turn loose of it yet.
