My 1966 GMC Long Bed Stepside
Starting this build thread for my truck. We have been slowly working on it for the past year but we are going to focus on getting it done by summer.
Here are some pics before we started working on it.

Re: My 1966 GMC Long Bed Stepside
Since then we have removed the rest of the front end sheet metal. We blasted and painted the front half of the frame, firewall, inner fenders and core support. We blasted and primed the rear cross sill, cowls and grill support. Sorry but no pics.

Re: My 1966 GMC Long Bed Stepside
I bought new step side fenders, stainless steel bed strips and all the stainless bolt from LMC. Then a new front bed panel, tailgate and long bed sides from Mar-k. Again no pictures.

Re: My 1966 GMC Long Bed Stepside
Wow, That IS Nice! I see a factory clock, and Bat-O-Meter as well as the hazard knob too. I assume you have the V6; Is it a 351E? I just noticed it's an automatic as well.

Re: My 1966 GMC Long Bed Stepside
Sanded the bed sides and got one painted before we ran out of paint. Also got 2 coats of clear on the tailgate, front bed panel, fenders, cowls, one bed side and rear cross sill.
