Wow I have a hard enough time restoring one truck and your doing three, I'm in for the completion of these. Can't wait to see how they turn out.

Re: 2 Projects 72 GMC “MISS REPRESENTED” and 68 Chevy “The Board Build”
 

Ill get you a pic and text it to you after work.

I think you should take a break... Get up here and drink a few beers and I can catch up to all these really nice builds on here lately.

This truck thing grows and shrinks all the time. I still have several out there.
(I need to remember not to start'em all at the same time)
Ill work hard to get one of them ready to sell so I can make a few dollars and then progress will really start.

Thanks to all for following along!

Mike

Wow,you are making great progress Mike.

Trucks are looking good.Really like the Bronze.

Re: 2 Projects 72 GMC “MISS REPRESENTED” and 68 Chevy “The Board Build”
 

Musical trucks! I like the Bronze one, myself.

Re: 2 Projects 72 GMC “MISS REPRESENTED” and 68 Chevy “The Board Build”
 

Thanks! I'll never sell that one! It has history with me.

Thanks, I'm gonna try to clean the paint this weekend on it.

I received a bunch of brackets and pullies from the blaster yesterday.
They will get painted and ready for install this weekend.

Here's a better pic.
Enjoy the pics.

When I started watching this thread, it was 2 trucks which I could wrap my head around. Now its 3, I don't know who is more crazy about trucks, you or me..LOL

Love your builds on these. I hope to find a 69-72 for my second boy and a 67 for me some day. I have a thing for the small window cabs since I have a 65 with a small window...

Re: 2 Projects 72 GMC “MISS REPRESENTED” and 68 Chevy “The Board Build”
 

LOL Im not keeping all 3... only the Medium Bronze GMC. I started with my build and was doing the 2nd truck with the nice extra parts I have in tubs (that was building to an unmanagable hoard). Now the BB chassis is waiting in the wind a little due to the Orange cab and chassis (I got for a good dea)l and couldnt pass up.

They are all nice trucks and will make awesome builds. Ill get'em ready for the next owner to finish. If they dont sell Ill get'em painted and throw'em on EBAY.

If your looking for a 67 cab in the future, send me a PM and Ill try to help you out. I have a friend with a couple behind his shop.

Thanks for the offer. I will keep you in mind when I get to that project...

Re: 2 Projects 72 GMC “MISS REPRESENTED” and 68 Chevy “The Board Build”
 

Got all the brackets painted yesterday but had a few pieces that had a compatibility issues with paint (or I had something on them). Either way here's an updated pic. More to come tonight I hope.

Re: 2 Projects 72 GMC “MISS REPRESENTED” and 68 Chevy “The Board Build”
 

When I saw those yesterday they looked like NOS stuff... great job Mike....

Re: 2 Projects 72 GMC “MISS REPRESENTED” and 68 Chevy “The Board Build”
 

Nice progress!

Re: 2 Projects 72 GMC “MISS REPRESENTED” and 68 Chevy “The Board Build”
 

They all look good from here. Even if they don't, don't let that worry you. You are the only person, who needs to be satisfied anyway.

Re: 2 Projects 72 GMC “MISS REPRESENTED” and 68 Chevy “The Board Build”
 

Thanks Dan! I need to get one done and sold so I can buy the motor for Miss Represented!

I'm trying Chuck... Brought another one home today. I gotta quit doing that for a while.

Amen to that. The garage is getting cleaner and the trucks are looking better. I guess I gotta keep going.

Thanks to all for comments and support!

Mike

Re: 2 Projects 72 GMC “MISS REPRESENTED” and 68 Chevy “The Board Build”
 

Here's the next addition to the hoard.
It will be a parts truck. Ps, pb, ac, custom.
Untouched except the squirrels as caretakers while parked in a field.
Thought I'd share!
Mike

Re: 2 Projects 72 GMC “MISS REPRESENTED” and 68 Chevy “The Board Build”
 

how about the rear bumper braces to 34446

Re: 2 Projects 72 GMC “MISS REPRESENTED” and 68 Chevy “The Board Build”
 

Lol,
I wondered what your pm was about.
I was just showing this truck to share.
If I part it in the next few weeks it will be in the parts board.
My sharing on the build thread is like an editorial From Andy Rooney...
You get "The Rest of the Story"!

Re: 2 Projects 72 GMC “MISS REPRESENTED” and 68 Chevy “The Board Build”
 

Cash, You going to be able to pull yourself away from the trucks to swing up to Wichita for Blacktop nationals this weekend?
I know Chris Carlson Hot Rods ( use to was Chaotic customs) will have a display inside Century II. I might have to swing in there and chat with him about "Class act"

Re: 2 Projects 72 GMC “MISS REPRESENTED” and 68 Chevy “The Board Build”
 

I should have time. Might be a chance to take a break.

Re: 2 Projects 72 GMC “MISS REPRESENTED” and 68 Chevy “The Board Build”
 

Well my awesome time management skills at work allowed me to finish this cluster for the orange truck! Lol
I liked the more red look of the indicators than the more correct orange color.
Seeing how the truck is orange I should maybe use it on the BB primered/Green truck.
Either way, Enjoy the pic!

Re: 2 Projects 72 GMC “MISS REPRESENTED” and 68 Chevy “The Board Build”
 

Looks good buddy...

Re: 2 Projects 72 GMC “MISS REPRESENTED” and 68 Chevy “The Board Build”
 

Very Nice!

Re: 2 Projects 72 GMC “MISS REPRESENTED” and 68 Chevy “The Board Build”
 

Worked on the AC housings today. Cleaned and cleared the housings. Then wire wheeled the lines to make them look original/new but not polished and stainless. I think the look is gonna go well with the new cast intake to match the satin look. If it doesn't match... I'll polish them. Enjoy the pics!
