1987 GMC 4x4 Resto

[57ToyBox]

Hey gang
Well since I've sold my 57 Chevy Panel Van here is my next project truck.

It's 87 GMC High Sierra Short Box 4x4. With 5.0L (305) auto
When I bought it it came with two new doors and two new full replacement rocker panels. Now I need to find a good box.





HERE IS WHAT I HOPE IT WILL LOOK LIKE WHEN I'M DONE

Are you going to shorten that frame or do you have another short bed frame you will use for the build? The pic of the finished truck looks great. That's a good target.

Geeze !!! I think you guys are rite. I had to go out and measure it. My wheel base is 131 inches
I think it is a long box.

Short box is 117.5. This is fresh in my head from buying an e-brake cable last week. Nice project nonetheless!

BODY WORK BEGINS

I thought I may have seen some Tri Five cabs in the background.
