haha, just kidding of course. it looks awesome. great find. hope you can come up with the parts for a reasonable price.
do you know what the heater might be out of? not that it matters if it works. looks like it is supposed to be there. is the dash a gmc style or a chevy style?
plans? stock rebuild? upgrade to LS power? engine in it runs?
haha, my neighbors are pretty used to old trucks by now...I have a 56 Chevy in the driveway, and a 58 Apache in the garage next to the Suburban.

I have all the parts, fortunately, just need to send them off for chrome. The ONLY thing that is missing is the rarest part.. the GMC badge on the tailgage.

It's a GMC dash (only fleet options got a chevy dash). The pontiac 389 has tons of torque, and it does run, so plans are to get it some fuel, replace hoses, upgrade to safer brakes, and run her!
