Nice work.
I had to replace the floor supports, rocker panels, cab and fender corners in my truck. If it helps any you might consider the videos that ebfabman has put together. |

These are the only picutures I have of the progress since last time. I have been doing a lot of little stuff here and there on it. In the next couple weeks I will have some pics of actual progress.
The bedsides are pretty much the only sheet metal work I have left to do. |

Finally some real progress pics, freshly sandblasted and complete more or less. The black stuff is por-15 that I put on while I was replacing some parts like the kicks and cabsupports, I painted the insides of them

Wouldn't it have been easier to invent a time machine and go back in time and then just buy a new Jimmy?

Gee, how did you ever take care of the window frame pitting (maybe I overlooked that part)
Heres a pic of the GMC on my tail gate, I sanded down to metal and never saw white paint, green all the way through to black then metal. Looks like it came that way. (ignore the rust...)

Hmm interesting, I don't know what to do for the tailgate paint scheme now. Does it look like there was a tailgate woodgrain band on the back, I kinda see some dots that look like they could be holes.
I managed to stumble upon a junkyard that I got 3 good windshield frame from so I am using one of them instead of trying to fix that other one that I got ripped off on. |

No evidence of a woodgrain panel, the previous owner says it never had one either. I think those holes are rust...
If you have an extra windshield frame I would be interested in it, the corners of mine are iffy... Roger

I guess I should add the pics of the mockup I did of it a couple months ago. This is the way it looked for about 1/2 an hour, then it came back apart again. I just wanted to make sure that the top and everything else would line up. I was relieved after I got it all together, everything was perfect, it will just take some body shimming to get the doors to line up perfect.
