Put the bed back on it also yesterday evening.

mas09ts · 09-13-2008, 12:02 AM

Decided on a paint color ( Pearl White)

thirdstreettito · 09-13-2008, 08:34 AM

Good choice!

lyrikz · 09-13-2008, 11:09 AM

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...

mas09ts · 10-13-2008, 08:51 PM

Well I've made some progress, been kinda under the weather though. Got some 6 lug rally's for 50$, Painted most of the interior also.

Rally Rims when they were brought home.

One of the Rims after sanding and priming. . .

Interior Pics (its gotten a little dusty since the new paint)

mas09ts · 10-16-2008, 09:50 PM

Got all my rims painted, they look like new now. I ordered som GMC rally centercaps off of ebay yesterday. I'll post pics of the wheels tommorrow.

mas09ts · 10-17-2008, 05:50 PM

Here's a picture of those rims now after paint.

mas09ts · 10-17-2008, 05:53 PM

I've almost got that big dent out of the roof now.

How did you get the dents out? Dent puller? Stud welder?

mas09ts · 10-17-2008, 10:02 PM

Used a dent puller then what I couldn't get out used liquid fiberglass to fill the small dents.

VA72C10 · 10-21-2008, 10:46 PM

Looks really good and you've been making great time on it.

mas09ts · 10-26-2008, 07:34 PM

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.

mas09ts · 10-26-2008, 07:59 PM

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

**Palf70Step** · 10-26-2008, 08:09 PM

Truck is really coming around. Your work looks real good. I had to do mine like that at first. real pain trying to do bodywork around wether and no real cover. Keep up the good work.

mas09ts · 10-26-2008, 08:12 PM

Hey thanks Palf70Step

allen123 · 10-29-2008, 06:17 PM

nice build good progress

mas09ts · 12-29-2008, 11:03 PM

well today is the first post in a long time, I've got little accomplished since winter has hit. I got the motor pulled out today, gonna put a 350 v8 in, with an automatic transmission.

**thelonerife** · 12-30-2008, 01:16 AM

Good to see you back on here. Do you need an auto crossmember?

mas09ts · 12-30-2008, 10:43 PM

No, I think I actually have one somewhere, hey but thanks anyways. I went and got the motor and tranny and all the other misc. parts this evening.

mas09ts · 01-03-2009, 05:31 PM

well got the motor pulled out, then went the other night and got the 350 and tranny. today was the first day I was able to take pics because of the snow yesterday. The carb is a new quadrajet 4 barrel. the motor was also just rebuilt.

there's a tranny under there

mas09ts · 01-03-2009, 05:41 PM

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.

northern 85 · 01-03-2009, 06:34 PM

Looking really nice!!Keep up the good work

mas09ts · 01-03-2009, 07:45 PM

hey thanks northern

**thelonerife** · 01-04-2009, 12:16 AM

Thats a nice looking motor.

mas09ts · 01-04-2009, 12:56 PM

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.
