Thanks Newtz. Here are a few pics, she's all blocked and ready for the next coat of primer. Hopefully I will get that done in the next few days. It's one step closer to color.

Here is an update. The second blocking is done, Delivered the truck to the painter Sunday. I pick will pick up the paint this week, still waiting on a few parts to show up. It hopefully will have color inside the cab/jambs/firewall this weekend then I will put the motor back in and start reassembly. Anyways heres a few pics at his place.

Here's a few updates. I have not made the progress I had hoped because I have been really busy at work. New rockers are in, spent saturday mocking up the fenders and doors to get all the gaps just right. I ended up getting some nice rust free front fenders to use. The old ones needed alot of work,(Previous painter covered alot of stuff). I also need a nice GMC step tailgate if anyone knows of one. My painter planned on shooting color inside the cab and firewall today. Here's a few pics.
