1970 gmc
Hey all, I just bought this truck last night. It's my first classic and I'm very eager to get started on it. I've never done any body work or the like but I hope to learn as I go on this truck.

Re: 1970 gmc
Congratulations. It looks like a lot of opportunity for learning, but it's going to be a fun truck once you're done with it.

Re: 1970 gmc
Thanks! I decoded the VIN and it is originally a fleet side which is what I wanted it to be. But it has plenty of rust so that's a plus.

Re: 1970 gmc
Welcome from Florida! You don't see a lot of GMC's on the road so they get a lot of attention.

Re: 1970 gmc
Well if Florida is going to welcome you with a 70 GMC then Seattle better too! Here's my own 70GMC, though it's at the other end of the spectrum for length!
