You got rid of all the engine insulation,or was that fire retardant? Looks great now.

Re: My 1965 GMC project Lots of pics 56K no
I like the truck, brings back memories of when I was a little guy and we would go for family travels in the truck and my mom and dad and three sisters all sat on the bench seat and my place was on the floor, lol. I use to just sleep. My kids today would be shocked to see how things were when I was little.
