Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
 

Decided on a paint color ( Pearl White)

Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
 

Good choice!

Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
 

You my friend, do not **** around. Nice progress.

I have a few things for you. That red filler you are using isnt good to use. thats kind of old school. It shrinks and causes lines in the paint later. That red oxide stuff here.

Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
 

How did you get the dents out? Dent puller? Stud welder?

Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
 

Used a dent puller then what I couldn't get out used liquid fiberglass to fill the small dents.

Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
 

Looks really good and you've been making great time on it.

Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
 

Well Got Most of it Primed Today and Yesterday.

The Driver's Side and The place where the dent was in the roof still needs some work, but almost there. . .

As you can tell I got the rims mounted and centercaps on, the front tires are going to be the same size as the back as soon as I can go check on two more like them.

Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
 

Trying to get it at least primed before winter gets here, stinks not having a garage.

Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
 

Truck is really coming around. Your work looks real good. I had to do mine like that at first. real pain trying to do bodywork around wether and no real cover. Keep up the good work. :metal:

Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
 

well today is the first post in a long time, I've got little accomplished since winter has hit. I got the motor pulled out today, gonna put a 350 v8 in, with an automatic transmission.

Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
 

Good to see you back on here. Do you need an auto crossmember?

Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
 

No, I think I actually have one somewhere, hey but thanks anyways. I went and got the motor and tranny and all the other misc. parts this evening.

Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
 

well got the motor pulled out, then went the other night and got the 350 and tranny. today was the first day I was able to take pics because of the snow yesterday. The carb is a new quadrajet 4 barrel. the motor was also just rebuilt.

Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
 

This is the view from my garage, it has natural air conditioning, and no heat haha. Nothing like pulling out a motor in 26 degree weather.

Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
 

Thats a nice looking motor.

Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
 

Hey thanks, yeah I just couldn't pass this deal up, got all of it for $300. Thats for the motor, tranny, torque converter. and every bit of the exhaust. lol notice the home made air cleaner which could have actual ram air.
