I'm pursuing a top shelf restore. Won't work huh, hmmmmm, because of that corner I suppose. The body man is very good, but I don't know, perhaps it's not worth the cost & effort.

Most of this truck will be original parts. All the exterior will be original, less the rubber. I hadn't thought about reproductions.

You figure some repops are an exact fit? I see GMCpauls sells them, looks to be the same gauge steel.
