1969 GMC Pickup

[bobbo]

My un-official build thread for my 1969 GMC 1/2 ton, 2wd, LB, Fleet. The VIN shows it came out with an inline 6 OE and had a 3 spd. man. trans. My plans include a 2001 Chevy 5.3L with a 4L60E trans. I already have the engine, wiring harness, and computer. Have found a trans for a good price but funds aren't allowing it just yet. So, I have put a 700R4 behind the 283 already in it. In the process of getting the driveshaft shortened, hopefully this coming week, and finding a trans mount to work. I also am installing an HEI distributor to replace the points one in it. This just so i can drive her around until funds allow for the rest. It has some rust on the driver rocker and floor pan as well as the radiator core and inner fender on the passenger side, but the rest of the truck is very solid. The first pics are when it was first unloaded at my work. I removed the side trim because none of it matched. I have also installed some different rims. Slow going, but hope to have it running/drivable real soon!
