My history as a chevy truck enthusiast and my 67 GMC

I have owned a few chevy trucks, but they all had their own issues. I've never found the one until now. Here is a brief synapses of my chevy history.

1972 suburban. Cool truck but it had some body work issues I couldn't afford repairing.

1984 c10 long bed step side. Ahh, disk brakes and a clean body and I lowered my first vehicle with this one. But not clean or cool enough. Just wasn't the one.

1961 short bed. Man what body lines! But what the hell did I get myself into. Too big of a project for me. Rust everywhere and god forsaken wiring.


This brings me to today. 67 GMC short bed, the keeper.
383 700r4 disk brakes 1 small rust spot and my god clean. I plan on plasti dipping her light blue and lowering for now. Later I will get a real nice paint job.
Few pictures from the ad




Plasti dipped the white top I know I went too far down on the line. I will fix that

Re: My history as a chevy truck enthusiast and my 67 GMC

I would have loved to had that '84. Nice '67 GMC shorty! How is that Plasti-Dip when it comes to getting it off for a good paint job? Ye4h,you went to the body line with the white,but looks fine w/o the divider trim. You know in '67-only the top color is only above the drip rail? I know you aren't concerned with correct,but that's a great look and many do later trucks that way

Thank you for the compliments guys.
The plasti-dip tears off actually as in you pull it off, no sanding or bonding. Very easy. Only a solution for a year or 2.(that's all it's good for)
