Old77’s GMT400 SWB 4x4 5-speed project/DD

[Old77]

Short bed, small lift, 350, 5-speed, 4x4, rust free, 233,*** miles

Overall, truck is super clean but does need a thing or twelve. Radiator has a small leak in it and I’ll probably throw a tune up at it. Other than that the rest is cosmetic. I’ve tracked down some options for a replacement bed. Need to repair the cab and replace the rear window. Also plan to do some cosmetic clean up of the interior. Once I’ve got the exterior how I want it I’ll throw some paint at it. I’m thinking OEM dark green so I’ve always loved these trucks in that color.

Biggest thing I need is to find someone to sell me a chunk of cab to repair the passenger corner near the window

What's the story on the damage?

And is that mig weld blobbed all over the B pillar in the last pic?

Should be a neat project though.

Apparently ran off the road and into a ditch and the bed met the business end of a tree

And yes that is mig weld globbed onto the b pillar it is awful in person!!! Hahahaha but I do think I’ve got a good lead on fixing that from a feller on gmt400. That is literally the worst part of the truck.

Great platform! Back in the day and even further back in the day I had 2 different gmt400 350 5speed 4x4s. Still 2 of my favorite trucks ever.
Tough as nails, quite comfortable and roomy (compared to squares), last forever and cheap and easy to work on.
Nice find!

Agreed. I’ve had several GMT400’s over the years and I love the platform

Somewhere I'm sure there's a person that has a picture of this truck laying on it's passenger side with a tree keeping it from going all the way onto it's roof.
