1964

GMC ¾ Ton Pickup Truck

Full Restoration

What makes a vehicle special? 

 

Does it share your birth year? Was it the vehicle that was driven by the carpenter who built your family home? Maybe you drove it to high school, homecoming, or hauled firewood in it? Did you get your first ticket while behind its steering wheel? How about when you went camping and it pulled your boat? Or was it your father’s dream to see this restoration? 

This 1964 GMC ¾ ton pickup truck is all of the above and so much more. Now residing in Hawaii the 127” wheelbase was taken from original unrestored condition to show truck quality. The family heirloom from a third generation owner had been sitting for over 20 years. The motor was rebuilt, the frame powder-coated, and the suspension upgraded. The custom wood bed has been crafted from the 100+ year old family barn. The vehicle was completely stripped down to start the restoration process.
