TRACK WARRIOR TRUCK

Some might call it evolution while others might argue adaptation, but either way, today's classic trucks are nothing like they were envisioned to be when built over 50 years ago. Back then, trucks like the Chevy C10 or its GMC cousin were designed and built by GM to work hard, haul cargo, and generally lead a tough life before being parked out back and replaced with a new truck. Some older trucks did get hot-rodded, but it's a relatively recent phenomenon that has these classic trucks of the '60s and '70s being made over into corner-carving muscle trucks.

Such is the case of Danny Cartwright's 1968 GMC truck, which is being used in a way never envisioned by the engineers who designed it. Cartwright has had many 1967-1972 trucks over the years. As he told HOT ROD, "GMC used to be harder to find than Chevrolet, so when I found out that the guy I bought tooling from had one, I talked him into selling it to me, but it took a while. He had it completely disassembled, so when I bought it in 2005, it was just parts, but they were all there except one motor mount and the driveshaft. My plans were to start building it right away. But that same year I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, so the truck was put in the barn, where it sat until February 2021 when I finally started on it."
