bro the truck look awesome keep up the great work.....

77BBGMC · 09-03-2011, 09:59 PM

This has been a fun build to watch, hard not to like a yellow GMC with a 496! Everything has come together great and your fab work and attention to detail is impressive!

Dash turned out great all i can say is how much for 1 uncut? PM

rocking chevy · 09-05-2011, 09:45 AM

whats the brand of stuff you used on your dash? I picked up some stuff this weekend, and sprayed it on a piece of scrap, left it out in the sun and it faded by the end of the day.

73gmc454 · 09-05-2011, 08:15 PM

I used the rustoleum brand from walmart , I was able to get the headliner installed tonight , I just need the rear panel cover and make some pedals and the inside will be complete for now,

rocking chevy · 09-05-2011, 08:23 PM

thanks, it looks great.

73gmc454 · 09-05-2011, 08:33 PM

Also I have had the dash out in the sun for a few hours a couple times and it looks good , you just cant wipe it with anything, I put some vinal type protectant on it using a paint brush and rubbed it in with my hand, it made it look even better

73gmc454 · 09-07-2011, 08:38 PM

Got the gas pedal roughed in today after work !

kikkegek · 09-08-2011, 03:09 AM

soooooooooooo...........coooooooooooooollllllllllllllllll

silvereagle07 · 09-08-2011, 10:48 AM

Wow, just read this thread. Nice job man.

73gmc454 · 09-09-2011, 12:08 AM

Thanks , Glad you like the build ,
Just got a couple things done today, got the rest of the pedals roughed in
Since I used the 73-74 rear headliner trim ,I cut the bottom off the 77 's and played around seeing if I could get them to fit , not sure if they will stay or not ,

hotrod_991 · 09-27-2011, 09:49 PM

wow man I mean I and shocked at how nice that interior looks you do amazing work!!! Cant wait to get back and tear into my truck interior!

73gmc454 · 09-28-2011, 07:09 AM

Thanks, I havent got anything done for the last week or so been sick with a cold/flew , but I'm feelin better and taking it to the alinement shop on saterday morning , already got the insurance and will be goin to get plates at lunch time I'm hoping to take it for a drive sunday if I get the inner fenders bolted in , thanks again for all the support guys

hotrod_991 · 09-28-2011, 02:30 PM

everytime I see that dash panel just teasing the hell out of me

mcboomport · 09-28-2011, 06:43 PM

Man... I really love your truck! Great job.. simple and clean!!!! The only thing that I would love to see on it is the cab trim/ body trim/ tailgate trim. (I'm a sucker for a trimmed out truck though)

73gmc454 · 09-28-2011, 09:28 PM

Oh yea I really wished I would have put it on there , couldnt find/afford nos and I was scared to buy aftermarket and it wouldnt fit well ,I'll have to deal with it like this for now, maybe add it later I hope

I'm going to use aftermarket cab trim on mine when it's ready so I'll be the guinnea pig for your truck to see if the LMC trim actually fits!!

Your truck looks great by the way!!!!

73gmc454 · 10-02-2011, 10:06 PM

Cool ,cant wait to see your truck with al the trim on there ,
I was able to get it over to the alinement shop on saterday ,also put the inner fenders in and got it all ready for a ride but it rained the rest of the day saterday and today , looks like the next clear day will be wednesday so I'm hoping its nice out !

baclay9 · 10-02-2011, 10:13 PM

Where did you get the 90 deg heater hose fitting for your intake manifold?

rocking chevy · 10-02-2011, 10:18 PM

I love your engine compartment, its so roomy looking.

Got that heater hose 90 at summit, http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PRS-1036/
I got the longer 1 so the fuel line an alt wires could run under it ,

baclay9 · 10-03-2011, 10:59 AM
