Re: Dad's 1979 GMC Heavy Half Transformation
Spent the night getting some odds and ends wrapped up. I got the tail pipes in place, and installed the hangers on the exhaust, I got the emergency brake cables installed, and fixed up and installed the rear light harness, and got the tail lights installed.

Re: Dad's 1979 GMC Heavy Half Transformation
I spent the day continuing to work on the grille that I got from Jeff (1774btcrew) some years ago. This was my first grille rehab; I'd say it's a good two-footer! Lol! The one that is in the picture above, on the truck, is cracked above the handle and the chrome a bit scratched up. I used duplicolor silver metallic frost, medium gray and then used duplicator clear. This is a continuation of the post at #390. Thanks Mike

Re: Dad's 1979 GMC Heavy Half Transformation
Got the vent windows rebuilt, and installed the door glass, vent windows, and all the weather seals, door locks, and interior door handles. Got the engine bay cleaned up, routed spark plug wires, ect.... and vacuumed down, and charged up the ac. It blows cold!
