Lubed up the right window regulator (it was hard to roll down), helped a friend with his El Camino speedometer.

Took the grill apart today don’t think I can salvage the fog lights took the rings off and the housings are rotted. But everything came apart without braking clips or bolts . Never had molding clip nuts just come off the turn signals the same just a little PB and they came right off . Was going to buy a new grill emblem then thought it’s nice enough to rechrome but it cleaned up nice . Any suggestions as to the color red I should use to repaint it ?

One of mine, drivers side at front, needed a small patch. Took to a shop and it was fixed properly.

A truly rust free passenger side is certainly hard to find

Not since back when people called them ''Fender Skirts.''

Some assembly required

**Jiggers72-GMC** · 10-07-2022, 07:28 AM

I'm not sure if its just the picture angle but why is the wheel so far ahead and not centered in the opening ???

The box is sitting back on the frame so the sanding tools don’t scuff the clear coat on the back of the cab…..

First picture was deceiving.

Got the new wire drive wheel for the mig . Night and day difference welding light steel . After I blasted the fender I found a few perforations so I cut more out of the donor fender .

OregonNed · 10-07-2022, 12:12 PM

Changing things up by putting on some of the deluxe marker lights.

zellway · 10-07-2022, 01:48 PM

Need to clean up the engine bay but I finally got the last little parts to get my belt drive system installed. This is the same setup I run on my suburban. Stock fan shroud with a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee electric fan works great in the arizona heat. Having ac next summer will be so nice

LNP · 10-10-2022, 02:46 PM

Some great work guys. I like the electric fan in the stock shroud. Good Idea and very clean looking.

72c20customcamper · 10-10-2022, 04:01 PM

Last body panels in high build primer . Dark grey is epoxy prime the body supply had no black and it’s been on back order for 6 weeks .Hopefully paint on Wednesday suppose to be warm enough .

The fender was much worse than I had expected . Took a lot more time just to save the triangles . I could have just worked a new one and welded these onto it
