Finally resembles a truck again! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

After I got the complete floor installed I had it blasted, then I repaired a few small spots, primed it, and painted the firewall. Today I got it set in place. Its actually a little inspiration to see it resembling a truck again.

jbristo67 · 02-27-2009, 03:17 AM

I was just fine with my truck being in the body shop all this time before I came to the board. Now I think my body man is on the verge of blocking my phone number. I would go weeks without calling him before. Now I have a garage full of parts and a ton of new ideas from this site and no truck to take it all out on. I am about to lose my mind seeing stuff like this every day

jbristo67 · 02-27-2009, 03:18 AM

Oh yeah it looks awesome man

my67chevytruck · 02-27-2009, 10:24 AM
