Paint is Done!!!!!
Paint is finally done!!!! Now I can start getting her back on the road soon. Here is a reminder of what I started out with a 71 GMC Custom LWB and a 67 Chevy SWB. Both have been sacrificed to make one great truck out of a dead chevy and a beatup GMC.
Before  AND THIS  Now she looks like this a 67 GMC SWB. The color is a 2005 LeMans Blue off of a Corvette. Would have had the powertrain in but found out the crank was bad in it. This gave me the excuse to get a little more power  . The 383 should be ready by the end of next week hopefully. Other plans are Tach dash, Vintage Air, some one off billit pieces from board members, and a NOS bench seat cover, and spray in bed liner. First drive is set hopefully by the end of May. Let me know what you guys think.

Re: Paint is Done!!!!!

Re: Paint is Done!!!!!
Thanks for the kind words everyone the color is darker out of the lights of the paint booth. I am hoping the 6 week window will be enough if not it should be shortly after that there are 5 of us total trying to get this thing back together. The motor was a real downer since the cost of rebuilding it is about the same as the pro-charger I had for the sb. Look for it on the parts board soon :cry:
