Chuck Most Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 The idea here was a pickup that a GMC dealer would use to help out stranded truckers. Well, stranded truckers with GMC trucks under warranty anyway! I replaced the stock rear fenders with scratch built tool boxes and made a light bar. The rear bumper was also scratch built and fitted with a pintle hitch from Scenes Unlimited. In the future I may weather the signboards and add some tools and general clutter to the bed.

mikemodeler Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 The rockers and cab corners were always the first to start rusting and you did a great job (as always) of weathering the truck!
espo Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 I see you snuck a Big Block Chevy in here. I like the way the rear suspension drupes from the added weight of the utility boxes. You have a serious Headache Rack in the bed.

A customer wanted a Grande, but "those hideous wheel covers" were a deal-breaker. So, the service manager popped them off and swapped them out for the dog dish caps on their new service truck. The whitewalls came later- they were on sale at the local tire shop. On 3/4/2019 at 2:49 PM, espo said: I see you snuck a Big Block Chevy in here.

The big block actually comes with the GMC kit, even though the box says it has a 350. Mine had no stock intake, so I had to steal that from a Chevelle kit.
stavanzer Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Again Chuck, another Home Run. Nice Build. Needs an Air Compressor in the Bed.
bbowser Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 I had a '72 Jimmy with a homemade wooden flatbed years ago, you nailed it!
