and what it looks like now....

Looks good! Amazing what blacking out just the grille and headlight buckets does to the aggressiveness of these trucks! That's next on my list!

20X??? wheels and 33X12.50 tires. the suspension is 100% stock 1979 C20. the fenders are trimmed a lil and it does rub a lil in the inner fenders on the firewall side. I'll be installing a set of fabtech 3 in springs as soon as i order a set of upper ball joint spacers.

Hey All, I'm new here from Sarnia Ont. Canada. here's my personal ride: 1987 chevy V10 custom deluxe, made from a patchwork of other 80's chevs and gmc trucks (wrangler hood for one example) im currently redo-ing the interior and the engine could use some love.. on its second 350 TBI with sm465 and 208 t case, never given me any trouble, just kind of slow... id like to eventually make it more into a k30 with 8 lug axles and 16" steel wheels.

I have been hooked on these since I was little, dad bought a 77 in 79 and in 97 when I was 5, he got an 85.
My first 73-87 was a 1973 GMC C15, 307 2bbl, 3 on the tree (it moved decent- 0-60 in 11 seconds) 118K, 1 owner before me. Guy that bought it new sold to a local dealer, thats where I got it from. We nicknamed it "big bird"

Alum wheels and a toolbox (I put a chrome front bumper on it later, and a black rear)

And her fate

Luckily I had my seatbelt on (and it only had lap belts) so I was ok, but I pulled the drive train, interior, and wheels and junked the rest

**nlped** · 01-24-2010, 01:36 AM

^^^^OUCH. But thank goodness you were in a real piece of classic american IRON.

Chlsnk · 01-24-2010, 11:55 AM

What caused you to roll? Did the trailer jack knife?

1973GMC_1500 · 01-24-2010, 01:37 AM

Before I rolled that truck, I wanted a diesel so I got this and drove for about 2 months

The frame was so rusty I parted the truck out- I kept a lot of it (eng/trans/tcase/axles/cab/rad support)
Then I went back to driving the '73
After that I drove a Ford for a while (please don't kill me, LOL)
