Those are coming back real soon. Right after Christmas I'll be buying some new tires to put the steelies back on with some thin whites. Here it is with a little more work, still deciding what to do with the drivers door. Quickly sprayed it over for reference.

I think it looks great. Especially with the door toned down a little.

I'm gonna add vintage air, put a mutha thumpr cam in, possibly change wheels to salt flats (i don't like offset of fronts now) and drive wheels off of it. My 8 year old is in love and it will be his. It's a neat setup now, small block with a T5 5 speed, power steering and brakes. It's all original paint, super straight. I own a car lot and am gonna eventually sand off logo and add mine.

That is a cool truck... Do you have more pics??

I wanted to post a photo of the 71 GMC Custom I brought home last month. I thought it might qualify for this thread,because it has some great patina and door logo's painted the day it was delivered. When I found it, it was parked across the street from the selling dealership Lynch Cadillac Pontiac GMC, in the parking lot of the furniture store who bought two of them that year.It was parked behind a semi trailer used as storage since 2000. I first asked about it in 1992,but the answer was always NO, so when I was told it was "available" I almost did not know what to say ? Anyway I had the Chevy dealership one block away flat tow it home for me instead of playing with it in 30 degree weather and a 30 mph wind.The owner of the furniture drove it and it seldom carried anything more then a LazyBoy. I feel honored to have an opportunity to bring back a piece of local history to our small town. Plans are to keep looking "As Is" with a overhall on a as need basis. Complete fuel system overhall got it running so far, with brakes next. thanks for looking guy's PS:she has almost no rust at all except on surface of hood and cowl ? :gmc2::gmc2:

Great truck! Not sure about the door lettering, especially where the company is still in business in your home town. Everywhere you go, people will probably think you work there or something. It'd look cleaner without it
