First Time Building a Truck--Nice Job! Pics... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

PICKMUP · 08-21-2007, 01:01 AM

This 72 GMC was just completed by one of my very good customers. This is his first restore on any kind of vehicle. He did most of the work himself.
Notice the repro parts: TG (that looks good to me), grill, bumpers, and all the small parts.
The 20" Boyds are a nice touch, too.
Good color...
Chrome SS Flaming River tilt column is next.
