Mr. Jonathan, why are you looking at other vehicles again! Just keep saying to yourself, over & over ... '67 Parisienne, '67 Parisienne, '67 Parisienne, '67 Parisienne, ...

this one is to help complete my 67 i don't have a truck at all lol ive been moving parts in a 2003 dodge intrepidlol and ive got a lead on some parts in Ottawa a set of fenders and some other things i can't fit them in a intrepid lol
You will have complete "this one" before you can complete your '67. You would be farther ahead renting a pick-up for the weekend to get your parts. Save your cash for the '67. Just me talking.

These are great trucks ! I have a 71 and have owned it for at least 15 yrs., still original paint. I will post up a pic someday !
Yep , look for rear cab corners and the supports on the inside , and the back and side front cab-mounts. They usually rot out there but you can get parts very easily for these trucks, even Repo Cabs now.
i have a 67 GMC with a 283 with a 4 spd trans, 4x4, everything works.....needs restorationrunning and driving but was currently in the middle of getting the clutch changed and lost interest because the pilot bearing is stuck...have the clutch and pressure plate ready for you to put in!
reg cab long box, body is in ok shape needs a little tlc, but its in decent shape for its year.... must see!

Hit up a junkyard and buy a trailer hitch ( my wifes hitch cost me $50 and was like new) Then rent a u haul trailer. Sure is cheaper than having to plate/insure/maintain another vehicle......my 2c

I can't beleive how cheap those old GM trucks are selling for down east. Maybe the frames are rotten I don't know but here you can easily add a grand to that. And a 4x4 for $800 - WOW! JC

scratch both these trucks off the list im oing to find one thats better reason's the blue one is 5 hours away and i have to fix it in his yard.... the red one he told me it would be able to drive it home so i said thatit runs perfect and i would have no issue driving it home but said there is no way i could take it to a mechanic which was only 1/2 a km away if it ran and and drove perfect that would not have been an issue and steve if i find another gmc ill call you first lol
look for rust above the windshield and cab mounts.Id get a halfton if you arent hooked on this truck...heavy gas sucker
