Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
Doesn't it give you a thrill to see it looking somewhat truck-like again? Looks great! Glad to see you back at it.

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
Looks good is everything going to work?
 How close does the over under box shifter get to the dash?

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
Not bad, doesn't look like a knuckle buster to me. Good for you and it looks like the bench should work no problem as well. Little custom work on the high hump and your ready to go...

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
Yeah, I put the seat in. I'm going to have to straighten the main shifter a bit, but all in all, not too bad!
Just need to change the angle of the stick. A picture my wife snapped off when I was sitting in the driveway making my best engine sounds. Man this thing sounds like a beast! I think the engine fits really well. No need to adjust the firewall or anything. |

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
Nice progress, Mike. It only took you 4 hours to run those brake lines? Man, now I really think I should have got that other bender.

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
Making engine sounds is ok, but when you start yelling at the neighbors to get out of the way from the cab of your disassembled truck, it might be time to step back a bit and relax...

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
Not much progress to report. I did start working on the rust repair on my radiator core support. I noticed also that the core support needs to be straightened out a bit. I am kind of proud of this piece. It's all hand formed!!!

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
Let me guess, angle iron in a bench vise as a metal brake right? Turned out really good!

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
Good job Mike. I cheated and bought this one for $50. Doesn't look any better than yours.

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
Looks really good. I've got similar stuff to do with mine in the near (hopefully) future, too. Now I see what it should look like, anyway.

I'm hoping to get the support over to a sandblaster this week. Then buy more paint and check that off my list. I did notice that the bottom is kind of pushed in from the deer damage. I'm wondering if I'm going to need to straighten that out, or if it should be ok. |

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
Oh, Brett...If you come across a driver's fender, keep me in mind
I did find one in Roy for $55 on KSL but I haven't called on it yet.

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
Parts run day today! Found me a decent grill and drivers fender for $60! I think that's worth the hour drive to go pick it up
