Look what followed me home!

[Ram-Man]

On a Sunday travel I spotted this 69 GMC shortbed in a farm field close to my home 2 weeks ago. It seems shortbeds around Minnesota are few and far between so I went back the next day to talk to the owner. Typical small town older couple invited me in before they knew what I was even there. They said they would talk to their son about it and let me know. Last Sunday they called me back and said I could have it for $300. No time to think about this I hooked on the trailer and hauled it home. Its far from perfect but well worth the money in my mind. I was in the middle of a frame off on one of these then I bought a 65 Impala last fall that became my new love. The Impala is done well enough so I plan on doing a budget resto on this GMC before starting back on my 70. I will try to do another build thread on this one. The GMC has a 6cyl 3 speed. I already yanked that out and cleaned up the engine bay. I am putting in a 350 sb and auto trans that I took out of the Impala.
