It is that spooky time year. Who needs haunted houses when you could hunt trucks in creepy junkyards and back in the sticks with the tarp people

Looks like that one had to get dragged out

Ben IV · 10-02-2021, 08:54 PM

Day I brought it home. I believe the proper term is grandpa fresh.

**Curtb1971** · 10-02-2021, 09:10 PM

Actually didn't get in trouble when I hauled this turd home. I thought for sure I'd be spending a few nights at the shop

**Curtb1971** · 10-02-2021, 09:31 PM

It's been awhile for hurding turds. No pun intended but.... Picture dump

**68bowtie** · 10-03-2021, 02:15 AM

You’ve been busy!

**Jiggers72-GMC** · 10-03-2021, 07:18 PM

What an interesting thread, not sure how I didn't see it before.

I'll keep working on a picture and my truck, thx guys

cbeerman · 10-07-2021, 07:02 PM

Here's my 68 when I got it complete with a plow and a square body bed

**Jiggers72-GMC** · 10-08-2021, 07:21 AM

First one I see with a snow plow, looks nice

tutone · 10-26-2021, 07:47 PM

Man, I need a shop truck, parts runner, one that I can park on the court square and people back away from. You know, a junker. Well I pulled this one home from a fellow board member's stash. It is about 20 inches too long to suit my taste, and it sits about 5 inches taller than I like. Both are easy fixes. Inline 6, 3 ott, PS/PB. Generally a good old truck that has perfect paint. If I tear into it, I may put a build thread up. If I tweak it, you may see it in the before and after thread. Either way, I can't lose.

**Jiggers72-GMC** · 10-27-2021, 06:57 AM

I like it tutone, fix'er up n drive it as is ....... and it's 2 tone

**Curtb1971** · 11-13-2021, 10:25 PM

Drag em in boys and gals

This one is an engine donor to a K30 im building 1969 335hp 427

Flat bed looks to be added fairly recently in its life but it's kind of a Franken truck. It does have a spid, I'll get a pic tomorrow when I gut out the engine

**Jiggers72-GMC** · 11-14-2021, 08:51 AM

From here, That one ton looks to be in great condition, nice score and sounds like a great project

Flat bed is nice besides the wood in it is rotted in a few areas and the cab was swapped with a 71 cheyenne K cab at some point in its life. The shop is a mess, I stink like old truck/engine and loved every minute of it. Running out of space so next time you visit I might be in that bigger shop

Pulled the clip and the engine/trans but then reassembled the clip to put in the back forty for a later date. We fought hard today the undo all the shade tree stuff they did to swap in the 427. It even had rebar welded to the engine towers that met the sawsall

. I had a 71 133" wheel base dually that I traded for a farmall tractor and always missed that truck so it may get fixed up down the road.

**Chevyland** · 11-15-2021, 11:53 PM

Looks like a rat-rod project waiting to happen

Ole Blue 71 · 12-16-2021, 02:38 PM

Just picked this one up for my current project. It is in pretty good shape considering it sat outside most of its life and has not run in almost 30 years. It was my wife's grandfather's truck. Had to evict some mice and vacuum up a few gallons of mouse **** but, seems to be good.

**Jiggers72-GMC** · 12-17-2021, 09:39 AM

Great truck man ^^^^^ I hope you plan on taking it apart cus the heater box and everything will be full of mice crap, ask me how I know LoL

Thanks for the tip. The whole thing was packed full!!!

**Steeveedee** · 01-23-2022, 04:10 PM

Too bad I didn't take pix of my '68 Skylark when I brought it home. Shredded vinyl top, bent bumpers, torn seats, big old dent in the right 1/4, and a bad trans. My wife hated it on sight.

**68bowtie** · 01-02-2022, 11:48 PM

Cool! That’s an unusual headache rack.

**Ol Blue K20** · 01-03-2022, 09:19 AM

Cool ol girl....

Mike80D · 01-03-2022, 10:20 AM

And those shift knobs are just icing on the cake. ��

**Jiggers72-GMC** · 01-03-2022, 10:44 AM

Great pics and truck, thanks for sharing.

**dave6672** · 01-03-2022, 10:59 AM

Love the color combo. Will be nice to see cleaned up.
