What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I couldn't be happier. Three guys showed up this morning, we mounted the cab, and then the primary paint dude and I spent the next 12 hours building the body today. I'm real impressed with this guy, he led most of the day.

We have a few minor adjustments left, but basically got her done. I finished the day torquing the body mounts to minimum. and that didn't change a thing, we're square and level too. Next up are the inner fenders, mount the bed, and mark for all the moldings. Then we blast her apart for paint

There are going to be three guys working on the body and paint. My buddy, his brother and friend. They all work at the same shop. I suspect I may actually be done last next year or early the next

7-8 years I think

Couple pics from today.

And yeah Grumps you were right. All those body measurements I took before I tore the truck down was a wasted effort
