Baby blue 1970 GMC LWB resto-mod

[Square_78]

Just wanted to start with some pics of the truck today as it sits. It was painted about 20 years ago and is in wonderful condition! The only rust is just a little on the rockers, but I'll deal with that when the time comes for paint next year.

I've already ordered a Grant classic wood steering wheel to replace this ugly newer wheel that doesnt belong on there. Next week I am ordering up a schrader valve front and rear bag setup, brackets and step notch from AVS to get it down to the correct height so I can measure it for wheels. Planning on Raceline deceptive 6 or Blast 6 in 20x8.5 and 22x10 and I'll hopefully have those in the next couple months. Over the winter I will install the rest of the bag setup, compressors, tanks etc etc and raise up and install a new wood floor. The roof and top of the cab are getting painted white right away also. It will eventually end up as a short bed with two tone blue and white with all the proper trim but the paint wont be for a year at least. Paint is pretty much last on my list.

Heres todays pics... more to come as things progress
