BIG BOYS -- Let's See Some 3/4 Ton & 1 ton Projects
 

Fellas,

Are you building something other than a 1/2 ton SWB Chevy Truck? I'm in the early stages of just such a build ('69 LWB 3/4 ton C20), and I'm hell bent on keeping it true to what it is -- 8 lugs and all. I'm especially interested in the 2WD projects out there.

Post some pics and some stories!

Thanks

Here's my '70 - someday I'll get back into working on it, a lot more that I want to do, and the paint is coming off fast (not by design). I have been spending more time getting my '67 to where I want it to be for now.

Here's a couple of my 70 GMC, 3/4 ton, LWB. Sure wish I could get it done.

Sorry mines a girl, (I personally never drive male vehicles)http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/s...g?t=1242828281
She had the heavy duty leaves in the back we took about 5 out of each side and I cut a coil out of the front springs, my inner farmkid loves the dana 60 and the 4 speed, but she just sat too high for a 2wd truck IMO.

Here is mine: 1 Ton Longhorn

CRAP! How the heck do you paste pictures? Help a rookie out please!!

Re: BIG BOYS -- Let's See Some 3/4 Ton & 1 ton Projects
 

Here my 71 Longhorn just put a new engine in it over the weekend and she runs greate. Now I just need to get the registration cleaned up

Re: BIG BOYS -- Let's See Some 3/4 Ton & 1 ton Projects
 

Ok, let's see if this works...

Beautiful truck Ohio Dan!

Nice looking GMC 69GMCLonghorn!

Re: BIG BOYS -- Let's See Some 3/4 Ton & 1 ton Projects
 

Nice truck 69GMCLonghorn, that's what I wanted to do to my tailgate, but my painter wanted to get real deep into my wallet. Thanx 72BlckButy. It's took 16 years to get it to that condition. Kids, bills, emergencies.... Now, I have to take the nose off of it to align the cab. If it ain't one thing, it's another. Thank you myoldchevytruck. I believe those are Dodge buddy buckets? Bought them at the last swap meet here in Springfield. Had them recovered to match the rest of the interior.

My 71 Cheyenne Super.
Restored by myself under two years, finished the project about a year ago.
I won a couple prices with the truck last summer.

More pics.

68 50th, that is one sweet truck, definitely one of my favorites...

Re: BIG BOYS -- Let's See Some 3/4 Ton & 1 ton Projects
 

69GMCLonghorn, I dig the white cab, I bought the paint to do mine (a whole gallon of Fleet white) but decided against it at the last minute due to time constraints, I like a white cab on these year trucks....

Re: BIG BOYS -- Let's See Some 3/4 Ton & 1 ton Projects
 

Man - there are some sweet trucks in this thread.

My 67 C20. Currently torn apart for paint job. Click the link below for the build thread.

I just got this truck a few months ago. 1967 K20. it needs quite a bit, but I plan on going the rat rod 4x4 look with rivet panels etc.

Re: BIG BOYS -- Let's See Some 3/4 Ton & 1 ton Projects
 

Gotta love them big girls, biguns need lovin too! Nice bunch of Heavy Chevy's
68 50th how were you putting you cab back on? Forklift and a sling? That beats the heck out of how I did it with my cab and bed
(finding 4-5 guys with good backs!!!)

Re: BIG BOYS -- Let's See Some 3/4 Ton & 1 ton Projects
 

I see you are in Sweden. We were in Stockholm last September. I was really surprised at the number of classic American cars roaming around Gamla Stan. I saw an older Dodge pick up, a convertible Cadillac, a couple of 50's era Chevy's (cars)... Good to see!

Re: BIG BOYS -- Let's See Some 3/4 Ton & 1 ton Projects
 

Thanks you.

Yes, I had a friend with a forklift helping me when Im put the cab back on (and all the guys could just stand there watching doing nothing:lol:
Hers some more pics. I was behind the camera.

Hope you had a nice wisit here. Yes there are actually a lot of classic American vehicles on the streets in the summer. Many people really drives them in the summer but in the winter most of them rest in the garages.

Re: BIG BOYS -- Let's See Some 3/4 Ton & 1 ton Projects
 

Did the same thing with the bed.

Re: BIG BOYS -- Let's See Some 3/4 Ton & 1 ton Projects
 

What...no Longhorns in this thread yet?

Re: BIG BOYS -- Let's See Some 3/4 Ton & 1 ton Projects
 

No projects here.But,i`m a diehard 8-lugger from way back.The only think I`ve had that wasn`t has been a shortbed or a K/5.The whole time I owned my K/5s I wanted 8-lugs under them,too.Real trucks have 8-lugs.I like shortbeds,but they are my car*.:sexy:

*Well,my 4wds get 8-lug,too.
