Trying to but my fenders are hours from here to be prepped for paint, nothing's happened, and now are hard for him to get to where they are stashed. I only did that to speed things up a few years ago! Nothing I couldn't have done...and now plan to! Gotta have the front clip ready for soon as I drop the engine in. That's been the big hang-up. He also has the '67 doors I decided to use, so held up on getting glass in/sealed up cab to do anything with that. I did get a Soft Ray windshield last summer. But one door on there now is just a shell. Guess I need to go help this guy move a ton of stuff to get my stuff back.

Be a good idea to get him on it after this long. He might change his mind or health issues could stop him. Former member Chevloray ran into this with his 69. After paying several thousand up front the young man came down with cancer, spent the money and no work was done. Don had to pick up the pieces and never got the truck built. Don passed away last year.
Don't let this happen to you Tim.

Re: everybody post a pic of your truck.
 

I'm not worried here about my stuff. This is a friend who has the stuff and his brother, also a friend, that I wanted to do the work. And it's more like I took them there with me being broke, never gave money, and figured once they were done I'd figure a way to come up with the money because I'd have to. I've seen them a dozen or more times, have their phone numbers, and never say anything (other than I need to come get my stuff). I didn't mean to sound like it's a bad situation. I'm staying busy with life, so are they, and all I'm saying is if the stuff was here I could be making some progress.
Oh uh, hey Jim. We were just talking about you and Jeff :lol:

Man, after seeing Jeff's work on your '69 is when I decided I'd bring my parts over when I delivered that bed and Blazer axles. Remember the 2pc sawzall that day? :lol:

Re: everybody post a pic of your truck.
 

I signed up on this site in 2008 and never saw this thread. I'll post a few. Old Rocinante and I have many stories together. I bought her as a winter beater in 1997 but it was too reliable to part with so I kept it. I tried to have it restored in 2000 but the shop I took it to took 2 years to make it worse so I took it back and did what I could with it. The frame broke in '08 so I got a new one off a '69 and now it has drum brakes all around. It originally had a 292, I put in a small block and ran it until this year but I always had trouble pulling heavy trailers on long trips, like when the army moves me so this year I put the old 292 back in it with some perks. I had it painted in 2011 but it was rushed and now it is coming off badly. Someday I'll get the restoration done I've been trying for years to do. I think it deserves it after the 300,000 miles it's given me so far.

That is just right!
I love the history. These are just good ole trucks. And they will keep on given in spite of all. My '72 above had been painted when I bought it, and it wasn't fresh. Now it gets splits in it that peel down to primer after all these years. It's just on the front end, so I think the parts were replaced with new GM parts and not properly prepped

Re: everybody post a pic of your truck.
 

This is my 1970 GMC Project truck. It belonged to my grandpa who had bought it as a project but he decided that he didn't have the time and money for it. I remember him buying it when I was about 10 years old so when he said he was selling it, I sold my Camaro so I could buy it off him. I know the cap needs to be gone but it is acting as parts storage for the time being.

Almost there

It's been fun to scroll through and see everyone's rides! Thought I would add my 70 K-10. It has Corporate 14 bolt rear, Dana 44 up front, tank under bed, original motor. This is my second of this body style as I used to own a 69 GMC C-10.

Oops! That photo is of my '80 Squarbody. Here's the 1970.
