1968 GMC Shorty - Pearl

[Graham57a]

Got a little done on pearl tonight. My main goal right now is strip it down so I can pressure wash everything, remove the funky non factory stuff, and start cleaning. So far everything I have found has been really nice, so far no big surprises

There is one small spot on the firewall that neees rust repair, my only dilemma is how much to paint once I finish the patch. I was thinking about respraying the entire firewall but I hate to cover up the grease markings

Cool build!

A few interior shots after the tear down. I still have to gut both doors, pull the seat belts, sun visors, steering column, and firewall padding.

A couple questions for you guys.

I was trying to guess the mileage of the truck and I typically try to use the gas pedal as a gauge for the wear on the vehicle. This one looks pretty good to me so I am gonna guess 105k miles, what do you guys think?

Also has anyone ever tried to match a dash pad this color? I've never seen one, I may have to vinyl die a new one to match but would prefer to find a bolt in option if possible.

Last few are a couple scores from the glovebox. Also found a spare key under the center console
