Video Description

Earlier this summer we came across what we thought was a pretty decent deal on a 1968 GMC half ton longbed that the previous owner had disassembled in plans of restoring it. Let's get it in the shop, take a look at it, get it running and see if we can try to get it back together and back on the road for the first time in 20 years! If you'd like to own this vehicle in the as shown condition (with a title!) it can be yours for only $2,500 CASH! As always, thanks for watching!
