Time to start building my GMC - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have had my GMC for a few months now. I finally got it running right, took care of all the leaks, and now I am going to start modifying and building it up, funny how that works. This will be my first build, and I am looking forward to the process and to learning along the way. Here is a pic of what I am starting out with. Wish me luck, as I have no idea what the hell I am doing!!!

Ideally I would like to build it as a DD with some pro-touring touches. The first thing that i plan on is a 4 wheel disc brake conversion along with rims and tires. The engine is good enough for now, but that will eventually have to be dealt with. Paint and interior will be near the bottom of the list. I always believe that it doesn't matter how nice your truck looks, if it is on the back of a tow truck.
