I guess I could get used to this front end...

'71 GMC 2500 Custom
Stored for 15 years and bought today at Back to the 50's
1 repaint 15 years ago
New brakes, brake lines, master cyl, rebuilt engine (350), digital dash the list goes on

Dad thinks it should be called "Old Blue"
Mom thinks it should be called "Big Blue"

**allchevy58** · 06-21-2015, 11:36 PM

Real nice. Congrats on the purchase.

**GMC-YA68** · 06-21-2015, 11:40 PM

Man that thing is nice! Same for it's garage, or fortress, whatever it is....

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 06-21-2015, 11:43 PM

GMC's are sweet. From what I've seen so far, my favorite truck from this website is a 70 GMC stepside.

hamjet · 06-22-2015, 07:03 AM

You say tomato, I say tomotto, Its a GMC or CHEVY, and thats all that counts. I love the look of the grill on it. those wheels are sweet too. great catch...

You must have already been more than just a Chevy guy if that's your Pontiac in your avatar. Congratulations on buying it's perfect companion and for buying GM's "first" truck. How about "True Blue"?

**RenoKeene** · 06-22-2015, 10:57 AM

Congrats on your score! Some of us are partial to the 4 eyes.

Four eyes on a step side with A/C and a 402. That's the ticket. I'd be "tempted" to trade mine for one. From my angle, that's saying a lot.

alsriv2 · 06-22-2015, 11:23 AM

Lovin' a 3/4 4-eye nice and clean like that one!

**69 MOD** · 06-22-2015, 12:12 PM

Thanks guys the truck is looking like it's cleaner than I thought.

I do have another off brand, the Trans Am in my pic is a '73
My uncle bought it when he graduated HS and I've owned it for the last 20 years, 54k miles & 1 repaint 8 years ago

Too Much, you don't happen to have a set of blue seat belts in your parts bins do you?

I don't recall any, but i will look.

**special-K** · 06-23-2015, 09:34 AM

I have some, but need to double check since I sometimes think I still have what I no longer do. And that's not just truck parts!

Thanks Tim let me know if you do.
I would like a nicer set if possible but beggars can't be choosers.

The mind is a terrible thing to taste (or something like that)
