Purple hair and a 1972 GMC

My wife (owner of the purple hair) has been after this truck from her long time mentor for the entire time he had owned it. He finally caved and is letting her buy it with my 77 GMC tow pig as part trade.

The first step will be making it reliable. Long term she wants a low lift with 37" tires look but with nice paint and body work. That is getting into @Greg72 territory sectioning fenders to make the opening bigger. Guess I'd better start reading his build thread.

And if course the people hair belongs to my beautiful wife.

Drove this truck home last night. It will need a little bit of mechanical work to be reliable. The carb is going a little too much fuel at times, then too little other times and ball joints are worn. But the brakes work, the motor is strong, and the transmission shifts well.

Of course, it wouldn't be Washington state without squatters. First project was to evict the culprits. Luckily, they did not get into the cab and stopped at the heater core.

That have a SideWinder winch in it?

Yes, it does.

Closing this thread out as we traded it back to the previous owner. He wanted it back and my wife wanted a K5 or Suburban that wasn't as big of a project... that now has it's own build thread.
