i wasnt looking for another project...honest, honey

[hotrod preacher]

i really wasnt! but sometimes you see things you just know you have to own-- now dont get me wrong, i dont have the finances to buy many things, but this was deal i couldnt resist...
so here is the scoop... a good friend and member of our church asked me about hauling off a couple old mini-vans and an old truck (80's ford) that a tree fell on for him... when i went to look the situation over i saw something that called my name... the deal has been made so when the vans get hauled off then we load this and i can bring it to my place[cl

notice the rockers, firewall/cowl area and floor pans are very solid for this body and i have already found a gmc front cap minus the hood (who needs a stinkin hood anyways?!) i have a better bed at my place that is tan like this so....... a tan patina ratrod gmc it shall be[ddd

good score preach!

Nice find, I have been looking for a project like that for my son, but in South Texas everything is rusty.

Why does everything down there in Arkansas sink into the grounds so fast? Is that down in a holler where there is a bunch of wash out? Have fun digging it out. If I lived closer I would come and help. Nice score!

excited! today is the day i attempt to remove this thing from its resting place...
last week i ran across a guy parting out a mid 80's chevy truck & scored a full front disc brake set-up and power steering sector for it...


ticks, chiggers and snakes....WATCH OUT!! this thing is now mine
