1960 GMC build - factory stock, of course!

[JQ-72]

Here's my first shot at a build thread! I've done a few frame-off restorations, but did not document them. I'm wanting to track this one since there are some board members who have already been a big help and others yet to come! Here's a little bit about the truck:
1960 short, fleet GMC Custom cab pickup equipped with 305A V6, maunal overdrive, power steering, panaromic cab, custom chrome, bumper guards and back up lamps. I bought it in Summer of 2011 from 2nd owner, whose name was Coy. He bought the truck in 1971 from the local Chevrolet dealership (it was a trade in) and he said it had about 30K miles on it then. Coy was very proud of his truck and drove it regular until around 2000. It then sat in a shed and was occasionally driven around the farm until I bought it. He told me sevral stories about the Jimmy and how the 305 would "out lug a 350 Chevy anyday". Coy also bragged about how many tons of fertilizer it hauled and a story of pulling a horse trailer from here in North Alabama to Indiana. Coy had a bout with cancer a few years ago, but is much better now. I want to get the GMC restored and take him for a ride in his 'ole girl!

The only pre-tear down picture is one we has with our family. The other pictures are what I've done so far. She was originally solid black, but I'm going with the GMC specific two-tone black and white. I'm adding original power brakes (thanks, GMC NUT) and repo hubcaps with wide whites. I'm not going full frame-off because I want to drive it! Wish me luck!
