New member with a new project!

The guy I bought it from has had it in his garage for 12 years. It has 97,000 original miles. As you can see in the pictures I got a new motor for it. The motor is a 6 litre form a 2006 Hummer. The motor has 4 miles on it!! I got it with all the accessories, starter, computer, wire harness, everything for $2500. I took the bed off today to get ready to chop the frame. I scored me a rust free short bed for $500. Well enough talking heres the truck. I'll keep you posted with update pictures with my progress.

A warm Mississippi welcome to the best truck board on the planet. I must say you've managed to score big with what you've acquired. Can't wait to see the pics.
If you haven't already, go to the welcome section and be "officially" greeted.

Ok so I figured out the pictures. Sorry they are a little dark. More to come soon.

Dude that is going to make a nice project. Good thing you are cutting the frame and throwing away that long bed. This trucks are too nice to make long bed work trucks out of them. Good luck.

Re: New member with a new project!
 

Score! ya I'd say you got a good deal.

Looks like your a man with a plan. I can't get over how cherry that interior is.

Welcome to the board from the south end of Mississippi. Looks liek a great start on a truck!

Nice rig check out my plan also a 68 with the same engine . http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=196844

Sounds like a cool project also! Im going to pull the heads off of my motor, port them, install some big stainless valves, dual valve springs, and a cam. I have decided to stick with the turbo 400 that is in the truck. I am also a big late model Camaro fan and have dealt with numerous 4L60Es. They are far to fragile in my opinion. Plus I have plans for a big turbo in the future.
