Do we even call this a build thread?

Yes I think your truck is the grandson of that 67 I saw at that car show. I have never seen a modern truck that basic!

Can't blame the government for over-spending on this one (if it was one), ha ha.

Well damn dude, I think you win for having the most stripped down 400 I've ever seen.

Yeah, I wonder if the original owner that ordered it, had to check a box for air in the tires..... may have been extra!

Sad part is it belonged to a Pentecostal preacher that farmed. Hence the no AC and radio. Literally no options at all on this truck other than red on red

Less **** to go wrong, more stuff to upgrade and having plenty to do while Socially Distancing except with your favorite parts house dude!

Oh my local parts girl is getting to know me quite well. Her husband was actually waiting for me at the store the other day because he thinks we’re having an affair. I’ve dropped near 3 grand on parts for this thing in the last 3 weeks

It does have a rear bumper. Which was apparently a check the box option.

It's my understanding that at one time GM was shipping trucks without bumpers.... my dad's old 90 GMC was like that. The dealer put a Fey bumper on it, before the sale.... the bumper rusted terribly too.

Lol, be careful.... she's either done it before, or he's super insecure. You don't want none of that!

I get most of my parts online.

I haven’t decided if I’m going to junk yard a factory chrome bumper or put a roll pan on this one, but I’m leaning towards a junk yard bumper as down here we don’t have a rust problem. And chrome stays pretty nice, so it’s not extremely difficult to find a nice one

Oh I’m married. We both thought it was hilarious though
