My high school 67 GMC build thread

[hpcgmc]

Finally found a guy to finish repairing the rust in the rocker panels. He's also going to fill most of the holes to semi smooth the firewall, recut the hole in the roof to fit a new sunroof and then paint the interior and firewall the final body color (some sort of blue) and paint the rest of the engine compartment gloss black.

Went to Hot August Nights in Reno last night. On the drive up, I was telling my buddy that last year I saw a 71 C10 that had the firewall and engine compartment painted body color, and it looked really great. Seeing that truck is what prompted me to have my firewall body color and engine compartment professionally painted gloss black, instead of just doing a rattle can job. At Hot August Nights last night, I saw the same truck at Grand Sierra Resort and told the owner my story. Very cool guy who got his truck from his grandfather when he was about 15. I told him I'd track him down next year, hopefully with my truck back on the road.

Here's a pic of me towing it to the new shop. I'm hoping to have it back in a few months.
