First Car!
So i got my First car yet, a 1964 GMC 3000 Series. Bought it cheap and mostly Rust free. The dealer sold it cheap because it didnt charge the battery and he couldnt figure it out. Well 10 mins at home and a lil time under the hood and it was fixed, the alternator was unplugged.
So my goal is to redo this truck for a daily driver. Heres what ive got so far... |

Re: First Car!
Right now the plan is to get the front back on and get it on the road. But in the future its gonna get a bigger engine, not sure yet on the size, and i wanna lower if not slam it.
But for now its a truck to get me back and forth to work and haul my dirt bikes and quad |

Re: First Car!
If you're going to continue to haul your bikes/quad in the truck you might want to consider adding bags at least to the rear of the truck; to help assist with the added weither. If you would decide to lower it staticly (lowering springs) you will more than likely bottom out with any load in the back.
In my opinion... run the 6! You just don't see a lot of them running around anymore. It's definitely a conversation piece.

Re: First Car!
Congrats on your first ride!
When I was 19, I "stole" my second car, a '69 Camaro (long gone now) from a guy for $375.00 because he thought the engine was shot. The car was sitting in a field with the bumper in the back seat and somebody had graphitti'ed the wheels with spray paint. She was a "champagne" hard top coup with a black vinyl top and black "hockey stick" stripes down the side, she still had the original 350 power plant with a 2 spd powerglyde. The seats were flawless - no rips or tears - she had an olive interior with an "H-bar" shifter sticking out of a center console. Only the dash pad was missing, having been replaced with a chunk of green shag carpet. The "rod knock" turned out to be a cracked flex plate - I picked one up for $10.00 at a Kansas City bone yard where I also found a pristine dash pad for $15.00. I had a key made for the driver's door and was finally able to open the trunk to see what was rattling around in there. I found all four beauty rings & centers for the original ralley rims that I had cleaned up with laquer thinner right after I bough it. I tweeked the bumper back in shape & put it on, when I changed the flex plate I installed a TH350 (w/ B&M shift kit) I just happened to have laying around and drove the wheels off of it. She'd probably be worth $20K today w/o restoration.
