I bought this truck in 2017 from an older gentlemen. He had this truck in an old barn. My wife and I loved the older trucks and muscle cars and I always wanted to do a full restoration, so we did. We came up with this color scheme and went with it and love how it turned out!
Patience payed off. I knew of this truck for several years, I just kept watching and waiting. The owner knew I was seriously interested in buying the truck. When I was notified the truck was for sale, I jump at it. I'm now the proud owner of the 454SS Chevy. It now has new paint, I'm still working on interior and have a ways to go yet.
My stepfather and the only father I ever knew, since my dad left my mother when I was born, passed away five years ago and left me his 1982 S-10 Tahoe 2.8 liter V6 that was on its last leg. It sat under a tree in the backyard of my mother's house. It wouldn't start and the last time he had driven the truck, a large puddle of liquid was on the ground. Less than a year later, my mother passed away from her 4th battle with Cancer. I set out with the goal of repairing the truck and ... read more >>
This truck sat on the side of a house for 17 years. It had 52k original miles and a perfect interior due to having a huge Lance camper on it since it was new, so the cab never saw sun. The '85 year old gentleman selling it actually got it started, but two lifters stuck from being gummy and bent two push rods. We put a new push rod kit in along with new gas tanks, fuel pumps, and brakes throughout. It has now been my daughters daily driver for almost three years. She gets compliments and thumbs up ... read more >>
The second owner bought it in 1993, all original except motor wheels and pipes. Original factory paint.
Restoration of a working truck, 285,000 miles with two engine flips. Now, new engine 454, fuel injection, 5 speed manual transmission, under carriage gone through, interior update, and new paint.
I'm the second owner. I purchased it 3 1/2 years ago with 92k original miles. I replaced shocks, windshield, distributor, water pump, window, motor, etc. I just returned to Georgia after a hunting trip to Arkansas. Two thousand trouble free miles. Today's mileage is 108,900. It desperately needs paint and the wheels refinished, then I'll be satisfied. I found the red topper after a long search. In good shape and restorable.
I bought this truck from my brother-in-law. It was his High School truck. I took it from house to house over the years. I started with back half the rear suspension. I built the motor and transmission. I changed the front end to a '87 c10. I weekend race it.
My '93 has shaved door handles, relocated tailgate handle, custom tag plate, c notched, custom interior with 5 speed 350 with holley carb, headers, dual exhaust with cut offs, gear drive, bucket seats, console, and custom taillights.
I bought this truck to give me something to do during retirement. I have big plans for it. I already started, but I'm waiting on warmer weather to do most like paint. I love the look of the early 60's trucks.
My first vehicle, at the age of 14, was a '69 GMC Sierra Grande LWB, way back in 1981. By 1987, I graduated to a '72 Sierra Grande SWB 4x4. Over the past 10 years, that itch came back where I started a search for my dream truck. A week wouldn't go by without some form of search, while seeing prices escalate. In 2022, I found one coming to auction with interest, a '72 SWB Cheyenne Super. As I couldn't attend in person, I hired an expert inspector, registered for online bidding, and had a shipper at the ready ... read more >>
I bought my 1994 GMC Sierra K1500 two door extended cab in my senior year in class on Craigslist. I did a lot of work to it over the years, new engine 350, 5.7 carburetor swap, rebuilt the transmission, new bedsides, homemade lift, torsion bar cranked up, and added a leaf in the rear with 33 12.5 15 on square body rallies. All parts came from LMC Truck, thank you all for putting this truck back on the road. Driving a classic truck daily is a dream of mine. ... read more >>
Grandpa’s C10 In 1964, my grandpa bought a Chevy C10 pickup truck from Worley motors in International Falls, MN. He ordered it just the way he wanted it, no extras. It had to have a long bed, so a 4x8 sheet of plywood would lay flat in the back. No radio, no air conditioning, and no arm rests. An unordered cigarette lighter and driver side arm rest almost caused the sale to fall through, because Grandpa wasn’t paying extra for something he didn’t order. A few years later, a hunter in MN missed a deer he was shooting at, ... read more >>
‘Black Widow’ My wife bought me this truck for my 50th birthday. It had been a work truck for years, traveling about 70 miles daily. The interior was like new, but the exterior and motor had been neglected. Within a few months of getting it, a new 5.7L crate motor was installed. Then, I began ordering numerous parts from LMC Truck, to begin an overall refresh. The hood, headlights, parking lights, bumpers were ordered to be replaced, along with many other small parts ordered. We began by fixing the many small dents and scratches from the body. With fresh ... read more >>
This truck was purchased new by Marcia’s grandparents, Clarence and Lula Lewis, in 1951 to be used on the family farm. It was handed down to Marcia’s parents and then handed down to us. We plan on handing it down to our children too. It ran and was in original condition with only a couple of rust holes in the cab corners and floorboard. All the sheet metal is original, even the tailgate. Clarence took very good care of everything he owned. The engine only needed the head prepped for modern gas. I did all the work myself from ... read more >>
