'68 GMC 1 ton dually restoration

[CRees]

Spent a few hours on the truck today, was able to get the dent below the window straighten out and filled. Needs a little more work in the bottom corners then it will be ready for primer.

Nice job!

Primed the back of the cab today.

looks straight

She's coming right along. Looks a mile long without a bed. Hard to believe that "as long as it is, it's still shorter than my truck was in the beginning".

Anyhow, it is looking great. Keep up the good work.

Well with the holiday weekend here thought it would be appropriate to spend it working on the truck. Spent most of yesterday painting a few parts. Hopefully I will be able to finish painting the rest of it within the next few weekends.

Wish I would have taken some pictures of them out in the sun.

Very nice.Will the bumper be painted body color too?

[CRees]

No I'm going to leave the bumper Chrome along with the headlight bezels. Thought the chrome would stand out better if the grill was painted.

Well the back of the cab got painted this weekend along with the right fender. Finally feel like I'm getting somewhere.

im gonna follow along too. I found a almost complete 68 3500 dually also, originally a big block but the motors pulled and its been sitting awile. I have a 283 i want to put in her to have me a running truck while i restore my 67

Ok, so i have been lagging on posting updates but the truck is finally all painted. i plan on starting to hang the doors and maybe the fenders next weekend. tomorrow i plan to coat the gas tank with a kit i got from POR-15.

Nice truck man! It's coming along quite nicely.

Well nothing too exciting to update on, front and rear windows are in. Most of the hardware is ready to hang the body panels some time during the week

[thelonerife]

Nice job!

[CRees]

Didn't get as far as I wanted this weekend but had to put some time in on a new project that I just started. Probably will hang the fenders tomorrow if it doesn't rain.

That dude is looking sweet. They really start looking like a truck instead of a pile of rolling parts once you hang the fenders. Hood will tie it all together.
