It's been awhile since I've been on here! Here's an update on my 1969 GMC 8500, ex fire truck. I've been needing a bigger truck that can haul and lift more than the gin poles on my one ton can handle for awhile now. I haven't had the time or extra money for that matter to source the missing fire truck parts for the GMC these last several years, the truck was doing more sitting than anything. When I had the opportunity to buy a winch truck with no engine or transmission cheap a few months ago I jumped on it. I've transferred the front bumper, bed, Tulsa 34L 30,000 lb winch, and headache rack from the 1980 C70 to my truck. It has a pintle hitch on the back, I'll eventually buy or build a large trailer to pull behind it as well. A friend of mine is helping me do some body work on it and will be painting the whole truck soon, bright red of course sticking to its fire truck roots. The front bumper will be painted silver, as well as the mirrors, step, fuel tank, and rims.
