New from MO - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Muellers69GMC · 05-11-2009, 11:38 PM

Been browsing these forums for a while, but thought I'd register 'cause I am needing some engine rebuild advice (for another thread).

Two years ago I aquired my Grandfather's '69 GMC C2500. He bought the truck new in August of 1969, it was outfitted with a Camper and was used as a cross-country hauler for many many years. At some point the camper was removed and the truck was used sparingly as a truck. My father obtained the truck for a while, but it was eventually given back to my Grandfather before I convinced him to give it to me in April 2007. My Grandfather passed away about a month later, may he rest in peace.

The truck has been well kept and is basically all original, but needs some love as it is showing its age.

Here are a few pictures:

Dunno...according to the paperwork this one was built in St. Louis. So I guess you have GMCs from STL and Chevy's from KC.

The plan is to keep it running and restore as I go. Right now I am considering my options for a motor rebuild.

72BlckButy · 05-12-2009, 01:58 PM

I know that my '69 Chevrolet C/10 was built in St Louis as well. Can't wait to get a closer look at your truck. Are you considering taking it to the cruise at Bass Pro? I think it's the 2nd Saturday of the month, or we have a cruise here in Jefferson City the last full weekend of the month.

I don't know what I am going to be able to make in the near future. I recently decided to rebuild the motor (~133k original miles) so the truck is going to be out of service. I'll start a thread documenting the motor rebuild though.
