I painted the Hot Rod this weekend. That's what i call the 71 GMC since it has glass packs and that big block. lol Reason it's a tease is because I have no pics yet. I painted it John Deere Blitz Black for that rat rod look until I can afford to fix the dings and do her up in the original White/Med Gold/White. I heard the stuff is pretty durable and wanted to protect her from rust.

I also found a few trucks at a yard out east of town on HWY 94. One was a 69 c30 Longhorn, bed is still intact and the cab is in decent shape, but I got the lower trim off her. They still have a nice looking hood too. couple other remnants of trucks there, cabs, doors and a few fenders. the interiors have been gutted pretty much though, no bezels or glove box doors. I was thinking of maybe buying the longhorn frame and box just because it's rare, but my wife barely let me get the trim.

Blew up the tranny pump this last weekend hauling my boat to Pueblo Reservoir. :dohh:

It's sitting in the in-law's driveway in Canon City until my bro can ship me his TH400 from California. I'm crying a lot late at night...

That didn't work out. My brother's tranny was in bad shape. I just bought one on Craig's list for 300 bucks. Hopefully the guy didn't lie and it only has 30000 miles on it since it was rebuilt. It looks to be in good shape and there's a rebuild sticker on the side of it. I will try to install it this weekend.
