We have had this truck since May and have slowly been working on getting it to be a driver.
I will start with some pics of when we got it.

First thing we had to do was get rid of the camper. Four pickup loads of garbage and one load scrap aluminum later.

**Classic v6 GMC's** · 12-29-2016, 12:21 PM

Then we had to cut 30" out of the frame to get back down to the 127" wheelbase. We also cut a couple feet off the back of the frame.

**Classic v6 GMC's** · 12-29-2016, 12:47 PM

Then we were at the junk yard getting some other parts and walked by a 71 dump and noticed it was a small window. We cut the section out and here are some pics of it welded in, the start of body work and some primer.

And that is where we are now. I will post some more pics soon. We still need to put a passenger rocker on it, Install the gas tank and a few more things but getting close to being a driver.

**Classic v6 GMC's** · 01-02-2017, 10:26 PM

Here are some pics of the new seat cover from LMC.

**Classic v6 GMC's** · 01-02-2017, 10:31 PM

Today we bolted the bed on and welded the bumper on.
Also installed the tail lights and wired them up.

**Classic v6 GMC's** · 01-02-2017, 10:40 PM

And some more pictures I took today.

**Classic v6 GMC's** · 01-09-2017, 12:58 PM

We had these tool boxes in the garage for a while with the thought of using them for tool storage and they happened to be the right size.

Looks great so far. I assume the trucks going to go to work now.

Thanks. I'm not sure how much work the truck is going to do but it will be a nice driver and ready to haul when necessary.

**Classic v6 GMC's** · 02-15-2017, 12:29 AM

Picked up a 62 gmc with a newer flatbed and decided it would look nicer on the 67
Going to clean it up, paint it and install the tool boxes.

**GR8-68** · 02-15-2017, 07:09 AM

Love it, nice work

Well a month back we were able to have the truck painted.
Pulled the trim, emblems, windshield, ect.

**Classic v6 GMC's** · 06-02-2017, 11:12 PM

Some pictures after we got it home and installed the new bumper, trim and emblems.

**Classic v6 GMC's** · 06-03-2017, 10:14 PM

Here are some pictures I took today. It's mostly back together. The paint job came out good, far from perfect but great for a driver.
Before we installed the windshield we repainted the top of the dash and dash pad.
We pulled the inner fenders before it was painted and cleaned up the engine bay (it was nasty). Both inner fenders had a little rust so instead of having to sandblast/repair them we bought new ones.
We are going to go back and paint the inside of the doors and door jams.

NewType72 · 06-12-2017, 12:55 PM

Absolutely awesome! That bed just looks killer on there, can't wait to see a load on the back
