Here are some pictures of my 1977 GMC dually that I built in High School. My Mom and Dad were great supporters for this project. My Mom thought she was safe when she saw it trailered into our back yard. Little did she know, that 10 days later I would be driving it around the yard. My Dad and I learned a lot together throughout the following 2 years. I am forever greatful for the time spent with my Dad. My neighbor contributed alot of time, parts and expertise. It helps that he was an engineer for GM. If your have a wiring question, he will tell you what color the wire is and everything it goes to.

If You have a project and want to share, feel free to post. I bought it for $500 and tore it all the way to the frame and found it completely cracked in half in one spot. Welded up the frame and started putting on new/used parts. The only body parts used off of the old body was the right front fender. A lot of the parts were traded for or given to me. This was my first major mechanical adventure. It took me about 2 years and $6500 to finish.
