1987 GMC (Roll'em)
« on: June 23, 2009, 11:32:28 pm »
Hey I been here reading for a while, so i decided to introduce myself. about three month I got bit by the bug and decided to build a C10. I sold my 2003 F150 for a project truck that I cant drive go figure ??? But here she is let me know what y'all think. Its a 1987 GMC, but I switching everything to look like a Chevy. It has a 350 combo.
The 1st day I went to look at it. It was raining cats and dogs The truck wouldn't start so I took these picture on my cell phone to think about if I wanted to buying it.







After going home spending hours of thinking and search Craigslist for another C10.
I waited one week I made an offer and the guy bit. So he delivered it to my house.
Then I had to figure out what to tell my wife, "yeah she still mad at me,lol".





The 1st hour it got home "DISASSEMBLE!!"
My lil man helping, it his truck ;)

That fugly back bumper



I have alot more picture but I have to see if anybody wants to see this build 1st, let me know there alot more in stored ;D

You went from a running 03 Ford to a pushable 87 Chevy... She shouldnt be mad, that is a good upgrade in my book, seriously. Welcome, looking forward to more pics.

So at this point I thought all I had to to do was sand it down and  get some interior piece, at least i got it started it was a fuse 8)


So now in my head its time to get some new shoes ;D 22" Foose wheels.





The next thing was to fix the doors, I wanted door handle but the guy who sold it to me me assed over the doors bad. He glued washers behind the locks and Bondo over it so now the hunt was on for new doors.

So I finale agreed on a color for the truck, but my biggest pet peeves is seeing the old color on a car like under the hood. so time to disassemble. and check for rust.


all painted up ;D

Great to see you have a little helper there with you.  I think little guys need to learn to work on cars/trucks.  Will save them lots of $$$$ if they learn while they are little.   It might even keep them out of trouble in the future, it did me, except a few tickets here and there.

Great project you guys have there, keep up the good work, and keep the guy busy with it.  Looks like he is working hard...

Hopefully I can save it for him, when he grows up and it will be worth something.
