My 77 GMC project!

[HAZZARDJOHN]

Howdy, I have been lurking for sometime. I just finally started my body off restoration of my menards running truck. I bought this truck last august for $500 just to have a truck to run to Menard's and back with. Over the last 10 months I have grown quite fond of this truck. It has 69K original miles and a 25 I-6 and a Three on the tree. Well for a MN farm truck that probably never saw a car wash or the inside of a garage it is pretty clean. Well a couple days ago the First hole in the floor finally broke through. Today I gutted the interior and tomorrow I will teak the front clip off in preparation of taking the cab off. I ordered new Floors and the cab mount as long as I am under there. I also have a set of OEm fenders. I am now turning this truck into as show/ driver. It will be 99% stock with the exception of Chrome front bumper, Power steering, and an AM/FM radio although it will fit in the stock hole. Anyways enough blabbering here are the pics.







I'll update this thread with pictures from time to time. I am looking for a rust free box, as mine isn't that bad for a MN truck but it would be cheaper and easier to start with a southern box. Finding a Pre 78 box without a Gas door is harder than one would think.

On a side note, I need mental help! I have my 75 Cadillac which has never seen a winter since I bought it, then I sold my Roadmaster and bought a built 95 Impala that has never seen a winter, and now I want to stop driving the gmc in the winter and make it a show truck. I really need to buy something uncool that I won't get attachment to or I will be hitching a ride to work after the snow flys.
