Re: 55 2nd serie GMC

Good weekend working on the truck, remodeled the seats back, they were way too high. Then test fited the rear fender so i can line up the exhaust tips with the steps.

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC

WOW its really looking good!!! Its amazing to see trucks when they get to this stage of being put pack together with a little color on them!!! This has been a great build!!!
I really like the way you did the seats, curious to see the finished product. Might have to try the same thing on mine (Doage Dakota seats)!

Thanks, the seats came out off a F@#d full size van but can't remember what year it was.

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC

Progress this weekend was a little slow. Doing some of the final assembly so some of the work seams like i have already done before once or twice. Everything is in the details now. Got the exhaust tips mounted, install the fenders, lined up everything tack weld the tips in place then remove the fenders and steps weld the tips on and then reinstalled everything. Long process but when its done looks really nice. I also set up and installed the gas filler cap. On previous post i had the gas filler on the side of the fender but changed my mind (again) and went with this slick billet polish aluminum cap that i mounted on the back of the fender. Sure didn't like to make that 2 inch hole in the brand new fender but after its in place it looks really sharp.
