Re: 71 shortbed
Hey you wanted me as a friend and thats who i am now!
I love that project together with your dad and grandpa! The truck will stay in your live because of the way you started it! I bought my truck because my dad had one when i met him the first time! He lives in New Paltz,New York and was born and raised in Germany! In ´87 i met him the first time and he just bought a 87 K20 brand new and we cruised around in it! Even though i didn´t realized what kind of truck it was then i started looking for a Pickup truck when i grew up and it happened accidently that i bought a truck that looked almost like his in ´93! Later when i got internet and e-mail he sent some pictures and i realized that we both had squarebody longbed fleetside trucks! I´ll keep it forever because of that! Keep up the family project!

Re: 71 shortbed
That's great man. My grandfather gave me his '68 GMC when I was 10 to play with. I have now owned it for over 20 years. It was in the same shape, we pulled it out of the trees in the farm yard.

Re: 71 shortbed
That's great. It's also kinda how I got my truck. It was my grandfathers and he gave it to me when I was 10 to fiddle with. It's been over 20 years now. The memories are the best part.

Re: 71 shortbed
the cab is no longer attatched and my dad got another cab from VA or somewhere in that general area. the new cab is a 1972 cheyenne super big block cab with AC and holes to mount bucket seats and a console. i was going to upload some pictures, but my email wont load. i might try again today, but i should have them up soon.

Re: 71 shortbed
finally making some progress again. the cab is over at my granddads.we are waiting for the door handles, rubber, felt strips and whatnots to get the doors all together. my granddad gutted the old doors, and brought them back here for our little scrap metal pile we have started. meanwhile, my dad and i got the rear coil springs and shocks on, and got all of the stainless brake lines in. my dad is picking up an engine crane tonight, so hopefully we can have the engine and trans in tomorrow. here's a picture i took shortly after we had the rear suspension off of the frame:
 and here it is all back together:  i will try to get more pictures as we make progress. hopefully we can have the cab on the frame on friday!

Re: 71 shortbed
Can you please explain to me how you caption each picture? somebody tried to explain it to me once but i didn't get what they were saying, i figure there has to be something to make the words stay put between each picture like an HTML code or something. Thanks!
Your truck is looking nice too!

Re: 71 shortbed
Got the headboard off the wood floor bed; used up 1/2 a can of WD40 and about wore out a left hand drill bit. Also cleaned up the center console and got it mounted, cleaned up the dash cluster a little bit, but I need to take it back out and clean the lens up a little better. (need a new Speedo anyway) and I also discovered that I have the wrong seat tracks. only 1 bolt and the pitman arm holding the steering gear box in, then the power steering box can go on. Here are the pictures
