We go to the coast to pick up a 1972 Chevy k20 that hasn’t run in 15 years. We get it home get it running and start fixing it up. Save all the trucks! Old Chevys are life! Check out my Instagram for more truck stuff / jmcwilliams1500
Unfortunately it was a little to far gone to keep the entire body. The rust was just ridiculous. We are almost done with swapping a body from a 70 c10 that was mostly rust free.
Oh man the cab is terrible. It is rusted in weird places. I found a 1970 c10 and we are swapping the whole body. It’s two tone orange and white. I posted a short update video about it. I’m working on a longer one of us finishing the truck. It’s up and running again we are just doing finishing touches.
I just bought the same truck and mine looks like yours. It was an old farm truck. The hood has the typical bends and strains from sticky hinges and springs. The would be expected dents in the bed sides and rear bed dings and dents. Lights don't work, smells like rat piss and motor never had the oil changed. I need to get a bill of sale signed, registered and swap the never used 327 with the FITech that I have in my 1954 GMC 5 window. A project that i've decided to sell to the highest bidder. A truck with all the parts besided the front and rear glass and no tail gate. The 1972 is a 4X4, automatic TH400 i believe. Same color as your's and it's twin. The motor swap will have to wait until after Elk season. Anyone looking for a 1954 GMC 100 5 Window (actually 8 windows, two on each door= 4, two side windows = 6, and the front and rear =8, yes people question me on the window numbers), PM and I'll entertain reasonable offers. Located in southern Oregon
@@jmacsgarage I don't have a rusty truck, just a stinky and a bit out of square one. I am in need of a whole lot better tailgate. the one I have is a dented bowed piece of CHEVROLET scrap. Oh yeah, there is also a hole in the roof from a CB radio antenna.
Always beware you guys of trucks near salt water ocean--- rivers and lakes ---fine --ocean's --I decline!!!! I've bought, sold, and body --off frame restored just over 400 of these '67-'72 Chevy/ GMC 4x4 trucks but everything out west in WA. , Oregon,California etc. Dry desert east of Cascades is best. Lot of trucks there. Jim
Yeah haha it’s a California truck but it lived it’s life by the ocean. Instead of salt just in the winter it got salt year round. I always laugh when people say California truck. We are almost done with the body swap on it. It’s coming out pretty nice. Hopefully get a decent video of the build and it finished out soon.
@@jmacsgarage I love watching these builds. They’re 10x better than seeing the big shops do builds like on TV. We get to see where the truck really came from and the progress
Man it really depends on condition. I’ve bought a few in the $1500-$2500 range not running. I don’t ever pay a lot because I’m usually buying not running trucks that need a lot of love.
Not 100 percent sure yet. That one got put on the back burner for a little while. The transfer case is set up for a 4l80 so it will be a 4l80 and 6.0 or ls3 just depending how much money is available at the time haha
