I have a '68 GMC 910. Bought it about fifteen years ago and has been a rolling project. I've done a few upgrades but for the most part it has been a good running and driving truck. Last year I got it into my head that I was going to sell it and focus on another project. But first it needed a little help. This is how it was:
Not a bad looking truck, from a distance. 383, 700r4, 4/3 static drop, rack and pinion steering. Done a lot of work over the years but a close eye on the picture you can see the body line between the cab and the box don't quite line up. The cab mounts had completely collapsed on the passanger side. No way I would sell it like that. On investigation the floor had been patched and repatched a few times. So the cab came off.
It needed a floor and a few other spots cleaned up around the blower housing and same on the drivers side. I cut the cab corners and rockers out and started on the floor. I quickly realized I was in over my head (stupid tv makes it look so easy) If I had infinite time I probably could have muddled my way through but with three kids and working 60 hours a week just wan't happening. So I decided it should go to a professional before I get too far in and no one will touch the mess I'm making. This is where things started to get out of hand. If I was getting all this work done to the cab, now is the time to smooth the firewall and add a/c as well as fill the fuel filler hole and put the tank out back.
The last picture does not do it justice of just how much filler was holding the cab corners in.
