Re: '68 GMC 1 ton dually restoration
Over the last couple of days I got the column rebuilt and sealed up the floors, rocker panels and rain gutters. |

Re: '68 GMC 1 ton dually restoration
Mocked the truck again today. Still deciding if I want to use the original doors or the extra set I have. |

Re: '68 GMC 1 ton dually restoration
Painted the firewall and the inside of the fenders. The picture of the fender shows the color better. |

Re: '68 GMC 1 ton dually restoration
Did some more painting today. Got the whole interior done but the dash. Has a little Orange peel but not bad for a back yard paint job. |

Re: '68 GMC 1 ton dually restoration
Got the dash painted. I'm thinking about color sanding the interior to remove some to the orange peel. |

Re: '68 GMC 1 ton dually restoration
Nice looking build you have going on. I am also trying to save one of these 1 ton dually's. I envy your clear direction. I am torn as of yet on what exactly to do with mine other than I "had to save it".

Re: '68 GMC 1 ton dually restoration
Glad everyone likes the paint, I still think the interior needs to be color sanded and buffed.
