I knew it wasnt a bad thing, I was just wandering man. Yeah I was kinda worried about using a torch on my truck, but then I thought, whats the worst that could happen? I need a new hood lol? Ya never learn if you dont try. I got the smaller dent pretty much done tonight. Im going to buy some better filler tomorrow as you suggested too.

Well got some up-dates. Last night I bought a hood, set of power doors, set of bucket seats with console, clear marker lights up front, and a good set of fender trim all for $125. Does anyone know how to wire the doors up? And where would be the best place for me to get new window motors and stuff? The truck was a flood truck so I got to get the doors working agian.

Another question I got is my belt keeps getting torn up and coming off. All my brackets seem to be in line, but the tensioner pulley is kicked out a little bit agian. I have already replaced it once for being out of line. Also, does anyone know how to delete the pollution pump? I saw a guide on a site once but cant remember how I found the site.

Anywho, Ill get some pics of everything soon. And thanks for any help ya'll can give me.

Just some up-dates on what Im currently doing to the truck. Havent been doing anything to the actual truck, its been way to cold here with more snow than Ive ever seen. I have though been working on the dash, as its small enough to fit into my room for me to work on. Over Christmas break I started glassing and smoothing my dash, nothing custom or anything just a smooth stock dash.

I started out by taking all the blue crap off it and then started putting some fiberglass down. Now Im in the filling and smoothing stage. But anyway here are the pics.



The only custom thing in the whole dash(except I did delete two air vents) is where my radio goes.





Here are the most recent pics I got. These are from yesterday and today. It was warm enough for me to work in the garage this weekend so I got alot more done then usual.







And some stuff that did get done to the truck. First is my new exhaust, single in/dual out muffler running out the back at 45's with 3 1/2 in by 18 in tips.



And second I got my new to me bottom lights installed and with that I also got my blinkers working agian.



And sorry about the way the pictures are, the first few were taken with my now broke camera and the ones after that were taken with my phone.

My truck kept throwing belts a while back...turned out I had a belt that was too long. Have you replaced the belt yet? Be smarter than me, don't wait until it looks like this...

[GMC91]

Oh trust me, the first belt I put on there looked like that. I got it all fixed now, ended up having to get my bottom alternator bracket re-welded. The bracket had snapped and I didnt realize it.

Got a bit of an up-date. I replaced the original hood with a dent free one I got off a Blazer. I also finished getting the front end in primer, now I'm working my way back to the cab.







I also got a set of bucket seats from a blazer and installed them(no pictures though). I still haven't finished my dash yet, lost motivation to finish it. That and I don't really know what the hell I'm doing on it. And last but not least I fixed a major exhaust leak. I had 2 broken manifold bolts on the passenger side and 1 broken bolt on the driver side. Now its all nice and quiet in the cab.

Awesome dude, lookin' a whole lot better. Let's see pics of the seats, eh.

Hey old build, long time no see....I've been busy with end of the year exams and graduation stuff. I did finally manage to work on the truck some more though. Today I started putting 2 inch blocks in the rear to help level it out for now. Tomorrow I will be putting my new clutch kit in it. So wish me luck and hopefully Ill have some before and after pics with the drop.
