Re: Newbie Checking in
Here is my 1967 3/4 ton.
The original owner took a train and picked up the cab and chassis from the manufacturer. I think it was detroit but I'm not sure. He drove it back home to Hannibal, MO. From there he took it to Knapheid and had the flatbed installed. I still have the livestock racks for it as well as the grain sides as seen in the pictures as wellas the wooden sides. I really need to get the seat redone. I'm really tires of the springs poking me. I guess it is a somewhat rare seat that flips forward. I have only seen one other one that does it. We just use it as a farm truck to haul hay and firewood in the mountains of central California. |

Re: Newbie Checking in
Here is my 1972 1-ton.
I bought it, tuned it up and drove it about 50 miles. The bondo fell out of the upper "A" pillar and I found the cab is shot. The timing chain also broke. I found a 1967 small window Cab for it but have not had time to work on it. |

Re: Newbie Checking in
Here is my 72 GMC. I bought it from the original owner. He used it to haul firewood commercially and beat it pretty good.
Here is the way I got it. |

Re: Newbie Checking in
Newbie question. I could not find the help thread and I could not find it any other threads.
Why can't I post in the WIW thread area? I have some parts that I would like to sell but have no idea WIW. All the underhood Airconditioning stuff from my 72GMC. Some doors, etc. I looked in the for sale section to get a price range but did not really come across anything. Thanks Dan |

Re: Newbie Checking in
Thanks for all the positive comments.
A truck is to be used and that is what the wife and I do. Use them. I have a few technical issues I will be asking you when I find the right place to ask them. Last edited by D'Animal; 09-07-2008 at 11:49 AM. |

Re: Newbie Checking in
It really doesn't fit in this forum but it is a 1943 Chevy 1 1/2 ton M8. Runs like a top.
I post some pics as soon as I resize them. |
