THE ELECTRIC CONVERSION STARTS AROUND POST #176
"
Hey man how much you want for that truck?" I asked Big Al
"
You want it?" Al replied
"
What year is it?"
"
71"
[poker face on] "
Sure what you want for it?"
"
For you $1,500"
and that's how I added
Dusty to the stable along with
Rusty and later
Busty
and then we moved to a new house and my computer crashed and I lost all these pictures till now, I just found them by accident four years later
so
Dusty was a Poster Child for a
Basket Case, no hood, no grill, no bed, no tailgate, no rear axle, no engine, no transmission, just a carcass (I didn't even know it was a GMC at the time, I thought it was a Chevy)
here are the first pics of it after I bolted up a rear end I found on Craigslist and Al told me about a bed he had in his back yard, so we put that on it, he also threw in a 350 SBC and a TH350 he had hiding in the garage, and then he gave me the hood, and maybe some more other parts
