Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
You my friend, do not **** around. Nice progress.
I have a few things for you. That red filler you are using isnt good to use. thats kind of old school. It shrinks and causes lines in the paint later. That red oxide stuff here. ![]() ANd your my twin.. I have a chevy thats a gmc stepchild.. here is my build... My 71 build. GMC/chevy Good build man... |

Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
Used a dent puller then what I couldn't get out used liquid fiberglass to fill the small dents.

Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
Well Got Most of it Primed Today and Yesterday.
![]() ![]() ![]() The Driver's Side and The place where the dent was in the roof still needs some work, but almost there. . . ![]() ![]() As you can tell I got the rims mounted and centercaps on, the front tires are going to be the same size as the back as soon as I can go check on two more like them. ![]() ![]()

Trying to get it at least primed before winter gets here, stinks not having a garage.

Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
This is the view from my garage, it has natural air conditioning, and no heat haha. Nothing like pulling out a motor in 26 degree weather.

Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
Hey thanks, yeah I just couldn't pass this deal up, got all of it for $300. Thats for the motor, tranny, torque converter. and every bit of the exhaust. lol notice the home made air cleaner which could have actual ram air.
