Thanks guys for all the kind words. Finally got all the wiring done under the dash and put the gauges in. Hope to have the harness mostly done in the engine compartment by the end of today.

Re: '68 GMC 1 ton dually restoration
Not much to show but the wiring harness is finished and the was able to hookup the battery and test everything, the only problem I'm having is the new turn signal switch is not canceling the flashers.

Re: '68 GMC 1 ton dually restoration
The armature is probably broken in the column. Or if it's a new napa(or aftermarket) the teeth don't reach I have had that problem. Looking greats though!

Finally it runs, got everything hooked up and broke in the cam. Today's plans are to change the oil and fine tune it.

Put the grill on yesterday and got all the lights working properly, still waiting for the clearance lights to come back from the chrome shops. Taking it out of the back yard tomorrow and driving it for the first time in 15 years.

Re: '68 GMC 1 ton dually restoration
Alright so it took me a few days longer to pull the truck out of the back yard but it's finally out and it's been a blast driving it around the neighborhood the last few days.

Re: '68 GMC 1 ton dually restoration
I just picked that up about a month ago, it's a '67 k-10 with a 307 and three on the tree. Not really sure what I'm going to do with it yet, just couldn't pass it up.

Finally got the hood on the truck. It really ties the truck together making it look complete.

Well it's been a little while but I actually just moved to Cleveland, Ohio for school and unfortunately had to leave the truck behind with my dad but it's in good hands and can't wait to get home and drive it again.

Re: '68 GMC 1 ton dually restoration
Well it’s been almost two years since I left for college and now I’m back and ready to continue work on the truck. Started today with washing and taking a few trips around the block.

Been doing a lot of little things to the truck, got the brakes working correctly, the mirrors on, and a new set of tires. Oh and painted the rims while I was at it too. I’ve been using as my daily driver for the last month or so.
