Well, I said earlier in January of this year that I would have this in paint by Spring. Well, I did. Almost got it back together. Should have it completed by Summer time cruising.....btw, the wheels are going away.....Plan on rallies...Oh, almost forgot the before picture.......

That sure is lookin good.

**Palf70Step** · 05-13-2006, 04:02 PM

Very Nice!

chevy_fatman · 05-13-2006, 04:46 PM

I thought you was going to use the front suspension from that 'burb you parted out, what happened?

You sure have come a long way

Terminus · 05-13-2006, 04:51 PM

Looks great.

70c10 · 05-13-2006, 09:09 PM

Lookin' good Steve!. Love the cowl hood. The body is rock solid on this truck!.

70GMCer · 05-14-2006, 07:11 AM

Thanks...I am having second thoughts on the front suspension swap. I have both 6 lug and 5 lug rally wheels and also 71 front disc spindles and use 6 lug rotors, if I go that way. Still undecided. Either way, this will have disk brakes when completed. Waiting until the exterior of the truck is completed before starting on the suspension.

OhioDan · 05-14-2006, 07:51 AM

Lookin' good! What's the plan for inside the bed? Have you found a "Owners Manual" yet? Still checkin around here for ya one.

70GMCer · 05-14-2006, 12:40 PM

70GMCer · 05-14-2006, 01:59 PM

You can get those hoods just about from any vendor. They average around $400.00. I lucked out and got mine local for $376.00....

longhorn70gmc · 05-14-2006, 08:23 PM

Compliments on the red hood letters!
