Wow she is a beauty, where'd the truck come Steven ?

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?
 

Looks great!

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?
 

Thanks!

I'm seeing the light at the end of my 2 year build tunnel. Very ready to have it going as a daily.

I picked it up at the Texas / Mexico border. The body panels and frame are the same but just about every other part has been replaced.

Now if I can just get the EFI sorted out well enough to depend on it.

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?
 

I've watched the build off and on since you posted it on the forum. I love the truck and what you have done to it. I really like that it is a short wide GMC. I always search Texas craigslist for good trucks but hate the fact I would have to ship it to Iowa. I go to Dallas every 2 years for family get togethers but don't have time to check anything out.

Keep up the good work.

Not mine, saw it a while back at a local shop. It's gone now. I would have been interested in buying it if it had been a short bed!

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?
 

Years ago nobody did longbed 1/2 tons for anything but a truck, couldn't hardly give them away. A buddy of mine had a very nice '70 LWB back then and got crap about it all the time, he just wanted something different as we all had shortbeds. Now I hear alot of the younger generation say they like 'em long and low, at first I thought they were in denial for not being able to obtain a short but that is not the case. For me personally I prefer shortbeds but the longs have really come around, I see a lot of nicely done longbeds. Whatever your preference more power to ya.

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?
 

I just like old chevy/gmc trucks. Longbed,shortbed,stake bed,dump trucks,tow trucks.

That actually was a legitimate factory-supplied Indy Safety Truck though. That was the year the official pace car was a similarly decorated Pontiac T/A with the 403ci Turbocharged power (and NO stick, which Indy was upset about) and an ASC top conversion...I think it was a convertible conversion but it may have been a T-top. Two more cars were supplied as safety cars, with standard tops and non-turbo'd 403s, which is what the factory replicas also came with. The truck replicas were, as you can imagine, more desirable than the T/A replicas. I remember the actual pace car was sold through Hemming's a couple years ago after a lot of accusations and investigation into its legitimacy.

Still, it was the era of the Bandit popularity, and the "Hood Chicken" ruled the upset stomachs of those who wished for performance. :lol::lol::lol:

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?
 

Thats one I would love to own.

Actually it is a rare truck produced by GM. They built a large fleet of them for support trucks at Daytona, and followed up with a limited production run available to the public.

Sometimes its better to listen and learn....;)
