I know I'm gonna catch some crap... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

krue · 11-05-2005, 12:56 AM

but I've decided to turn the GMC pickup into a 72 chevy pickup (for now). Before you GMC fans get a rope to hang me for being a hypocrite, it's only because I am gonna put the GMC's cab and front clip on the 4x4 blazer frame I recently acquired. You can't beat a GMC grill on a lifted truck IMO.

It will also give me the added benny of the clip matching the cab again.

Don't let Longhorn man see this thread, he'll be the one holding the rope...............

HeavyD · 11-05-2005, 02:10 AM

I totally support your decision. Hard to beat the look of a 71-72 chev.

Mudder · 11-05-2005, 05:38 AM

Go for it!!!!!!!!!

Longhorn Man · 11-05-2005, 08:30 AM

Hey man... i got something for you.

Just messin... it's OK since you are putting the GMC nose on another truck...which will uptimatly be the better looking truck hands down.
This will give you a chance to make all things right in the universe by locating a GMC clip for the GMC truck now.

It's all good, although, personally I'd have gone for the 68 nose over the booring 71/72...but that's my opinion.

*FormerMember* · 11-05-2005, 10:00 AM

Heh... I fully support your decision, although I agree, why not go 68?

krue · 11-05-2005, 11:17 AM

I'm going with the 72 because I have the clip on hand already, from a parts truck I bought for the cab. The drivers side fender has a dent in it, but I'm gonna try to hammer it out.

BTW 86 swb I don't know who you have me confused with, my name is Krue not Randy?

**Palf70Step** · 11-05-2005, 07:09 PM

Well at least the frame is still GMC.

. You don't have to much GMC left on that ol guy. Welll the bed came from a 84 GMC, if you ever stop swaping truck pieces around you could put it on.

So will the swap be done by Friday when I am up there?

krue · 11-05-2005, 08:12 PM

I don't know, I gotta clean the yard a little before you get here, so I don't know if I'll have time. The fenders I have are bent up a little, so it won't look any better, but that's the way it goes when you're just a poor ol' redneck.
