I bought it as something to get running, and drive it, as is, kind of thing. You know, a couple of weeks and I'll be on the road. Well,now it's all apart. Be back soon. Thanks 48jim1ton | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 457 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 457 | Yep, those short, easy projects don't usually work out that way!

Thanks for the pictures. I chuckled when I read your statement again about it now being all apart. Most of us have been there and are now here for moral support  The truck looks to be in pretty good shape so maybe your pile of parts will go back together pretty easy....did I say "easy"? LOL Thanks for the update. Keep trucking.....see you at the Stovebolt Reunion in Kansas?? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 | Hi Jim,welcome.
I wonder how many of us started that way, you know,I think i'll turn this round in a couple of weeks/months.
Before you know it you've got a full blown restoration on your hands!
Looks like mother nature's been kind to the old gal though!
Good luck.
Jock.

Please write up a nice story as you work on it, and in a few months, send us a picture of it put back together. I will send it on to Peggy to put in the Gallery. She wants stories and names and pictures. Is your name Jim or is it because you have a GMC ? Good luck.
