    I am new to the forum.I just acquired this GMC about 3 months ago.I had been looking for a GMC specifically for over 3 years.Tried the Ebay thing, "professional locators" ect.I was just about ready to give up, or worse yet buy "3 year project" in Wash. state.
    Low and behold I found this in Boise about 20 miles away.:D:D
    I have found about 90% of parts I've need from classic,but I will be asking for advice and imput as my baby gets further along.

    Welcome!

    Before Zig has a chance to say it: post some pics and tell us about your truck.

    Not a 6, has an acceptable 350 and th350 and 77 Cutlass non-posi rear end.Surprisingly it gets decent gas mileage.My plan at present is to just have a fun, clean daily driver.
    I've got some before and after pics and "in progress" stuff I will get them on here soon.
    thanks

    FiddyG~ Cool looking truck! Another G no less! I love your truck~ especially the turn/running lights! I'll be pm'ing you about those unless you post pictures and give us info! Let me just say WELCOME!
    You'll need a napkin to wipe off the drool from all the wanna-be bow ties here. They have those pretty little grills, but not the guts that us G owners have...;)

    We humor them, anyway.:D

    Seriously~ This here is the best place you could imagine being except for two other places. (1) Behind the wheel of your own AD, or (2)

    :rolleyes:

    As my big bro says, MORE PICTURES dangit!

    I knew it was just a matter of time before Zig and his over compensating for Chevy envy was going to show up.:D
    That is one great looking truck though, regardless of the hood emblem.
    More pics! We must have more pics!

    Just think G~ There's one right down the road from you complete with a V-Nate AND ram horns! What the H are you waiting for?

    They (Gs) cost more than bow ties, remember?

    Hell, if the engines good, I may pay that much to come get some parts! =^)

    Wow another G! Watch out Cs, we are rapidly accumulating on this site! Welcome aboard!

    BTW Zig, have you ever tried Seven Deadly Zins? It is a red zinfandel and it is quite tasty! I will not drink a white, but this red is worth trying. Thought I would let you know. Right now I am working on a bloody mary.... I will swich to a pinot noir later this evening.

    Awesome Baby!!!

    What a fun looking ride you have there 50G!:cool:

    All put together and ready to roll. As it should be!

    Nice running lights. At first I thought they might be something different... I also like the "flip-down" GMC hood emblem!:p

    Thanks for the pictures~ I love the format you're able to post. It's like the kind I'd love too, but mine are always to dang big.:rolleyes: Do those allow for more than 300 megathingies? Thumbnails on here don't allow for much. I have a big-bertha camera that has to munch all kinds of space, so I'm stuck posting in the gallery. Anyway~ Good on ya! G-R-E-A-T ride!!!!;)

    I'll drink to that!

    For me, it's all about red. (The blood of Christ, you know?) Cab or Mer... A fine way to end a day. Once I get my truck rolling, a ride around the block will top _most_ anything!;)

    Why Gs rule...

    All you have to do is look at Brad's pictures! Come on everyone~ That's slick, isn't it?!
    I am assuming this is a five lug ride? Discs up front? A clip of some kind? Whatever, I've spent a bunch of time admiring that beautiful chrome!!!!:cool:

    Great looking Jimmy

    Great looking Jimmy. I wish mine was closer to that condition. I have been on pause for a couple of years, had to move, and some other reasons including, My give-a-shifter quit working for a while.
    Scott.
