New to the Group
Hello!! My first was a '65 Chevy SNB my dad bought me when I was 14. I restored that truck in my teens and nicknamed it the "Orange Crush" since I painted it an early 70's Corvette orange w/ a white cab. I got stupid in my 20's and sold it. Dad passed away last year and I really started missing him and my old truck. In April I lucked into a 1966 GMC K1000 SWB. The truck is pretty much original except the 283 has been replaced with a nicely built 350 some years ago. The original bed being in really bad shape got set aside and I found a super clean stepside bed with the spare tire mount just like my old truck. I'm in heaven !!! I will be upgrading the axles, adding power brakes and steering I have from an old '77 suburban. The rest will be keeping with the original design. I will start the frame off restoration in the near future after I put up a shop to work on it in. Ideas and thoughts are always welcome. Looking forward to posting the progress and helping others where I can.
