Re: finally drove my 76 after 2 years of work
You sure did a good job getting the original finish back out of it.

Re: finally drove my 76 after 2 years of work
THAT is what you call a restoration. Homerun, well done!

Re: finally drove my 76 after 2 years of work
Do you recall where you got that sticker on the air cleaner from? I've been looking for that one for a while amd can't track it down. "GMC Invader 350 four barrel"

Re: finally drove my 76 after 2 years of work
Did you end up selling this truck? Someone saw it on CL some months back.

To the OP, great job on your truck. This thing gives me inspiration that a clean restoration is still possible. ![]() ![]() |

Re: finally drove my 76 after 2 years of work
Hey, this truck is super nice! I really like that blue color you picked! Do you have a color code/name for that blue? I think I would like to paint my K5 Blazer that color... Thanks

Re: finally drove my 76 after 2 years of work
If you told me that was an original truck, that never saw the light of day, I would believe you. Phenomenal restoration.

Re: finally drove my 76 after 2 years of work
Great looking truck!!
How do you like the Procar seats? I have em in my K5 and think they are a GREAT value per dollar for new buckets, but only have a few hours of windshield time in them. very comfy. I plan on using similar seats in some of my other projects... Fine example of a GMC Edit: you already commented on the seats, so nvr mind lol |
