I spoiled myself 2 days ago, and bought this mostly stock not running '65 GMC shortfleet, I'll be posting more pic's as it progresses.

I'm guessing you'll be keeping the natural patina.

Nice! I’m in!

People work real hard to paint things to look like that...

Ugly pile of rust. Yeesh.

Hey you still have the orange 67?? I thought she ran away.

Hey Rene, long time. This one looks totally legit. Nice score!

The '67 is bought and paid for, but it won't be picked up till Christmas.

Hey Bruce, it's the real deal... pretty much a plain Jane, a little rust on the driver side floor, but the rockers, cab corners and lower front fenders are in excellent shape, someone stuck a 350/350 in it a long time ago, I gave it a CLR bath to tone down a lot of the outside surface rust, and I also removed the Bardon bumper and I'm planning to replace both bumpers with chrome ones, my mechanic is getting another small block ready for it, hopefully it will be on the road in a few weeks.

I gave the rear one away, but not to the junkman this time lol and I'm saving the front one for the next truck.
