Re: 1961 GMC Project. Only a 3/4ton of work

After 6 months I finally got the GMC back to where it was in 1961 except for the A/C which I have the parts for but haven't installed. I decided to put the grill in and install all all the stuff I took off to either plate or clean and paint. I drove it about 50 miles yesterday and loved it. Though with the seat being redone I'm about 3 inches higher and 3 inches closer to the wheel (which I can't afford, being an old fat guy). In my other 60-66's I didn,t have teh knee freezer A/C and it makes the cab a little crowded. Going to the All GM car show at the Basin for a while. My kid REALLY liked riding around in the truck yesterday.
