Hey, looks great Greg, after you get all those dents out of the sides, i'll give you my bedsides to pound out

Keep up the good work!

dinnut · 03-21-2004, 11:30 PM

wow! your really saving that thing and doing a lot of work to do it! good luck, i salute you!

lukecp · 03-22-2004, 12:10 AM

You have got some good metal working skills.....looks great!

*60apache4* · 03-24-2004, 01:54 AM

Nice work.

I had to replace the floor supports, rocker panels, cab and fender corners in my truck.

If it helps any you might consider the videos that ebfabman has put together.

Blue Beard · 03-24-2004, 09:28 AM

Great progress....

Looks like a good size parts yard....

What brand of truck cover is on the one sitting next to it?

*Gee_Emm* · 03-24-2004, 10:57 AM

Wolfe, see the thread about truck covers I gave my opinions on it there.

*Gee_Emm* · 07-04-2004, 10:15 AM

These are the only picutures I have of the progress since last time. I have been doing a lot of little stuff here and there on it. In the next couple weeks I will have some pics of actual progress.

The bedsides are pretty much the only sheet metal work I have left to do.

**Canadian694x4** · 07-05-2004, 01:42 PM

Wicked Work! Always great to see your progress!

*Gee_Emm* · 07-20-2004, 10:01 PM

Finally some real progress pics, freshly sandblasted and complete more or less. The black stuff is por-15 that I put on while I was replacing some parts like the kicks and cabsupports, I painted the insides of them

*Gee_Emm* · 07-20-2004, 10:08 PM

One chopped up pickup + one year = 1/2 Jimmy

NuBomb · 07-21-2004, 12:25 AM

extremely Impressive !!!!!

BobbyK · 07-21-2004, 03:15 AM

Man...that's a FREAK load of work you've done.
Awesome work man...just awesome!!!!

**Palf70Step** · 07-21-2004, 05:29 AM

Very Nice!!!

**Yukon Jack** · 07-21-2004, 09:47 AM

What a great job at saving a K5 - I'm definitely impressed!

Zumo · 07-21-2004, 09:56 AM

Wouldn't it have been easier to invent a time machine and go back in time and then just buy a new Jimmy?

Just kidding. Awesome work.

1970blazin · 07-21-2004, 10:10 AM

Nice job- Glad you used the same thread thru-out the restoration. I looked over the entire progress and am humbled!!! What perseverance and skill. Nice work!!

**raggedjim** · 07-21-2004, 11:59 AM

Gee, how did you ever take care of the window frame pitting (maybe I overlooked that part)

Heres a pic of the GMC on my tail gate, I sanded down to metal and never saw white paint, green all the way through to black then metal. Looks like it came that way. (ignore the rust...)

*Gee_Emm* · 07-21-2004, 06:33 PM

Hmm interesting, I don't know what to do for the tailgate paint scheme now. Does it look like there was a tailgate woodgrain band on the back, I kinda see some dots that look like they could be holes.

I managed to stumble upon a junkyard that I got 3 good windshield frame from so I am using one of them instead of trying to fix that other one that I got ripped off on.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 07-21-2004, 08:22 PM

GEE that is a true work of art you are very good at what you do..

**raggedjim** · 07-22-2004, 04:05 PM

No evidence of a woodgrain panel, the previous owner says it never had one either. I think those holes are rust...

If you have an extra windshield frame I would be interested in it, the corners of mine are iffy...

Gee Emm...Simply Amazing. Can't wait to see her finished! She's a Beaut!

moneyguru · 10-04-2004, 05:23 PM

Any updated pics on this project?

Everytime I look at it I'm in awe!

*Gee_Emm* · 10-04-2004, 05:59 PM

I finished painting the frame. I am working on little stuff right now, I am kinda stuck, I need some patch panels but the repros are crap so I need to find some off of a truck.

silvertonguedevil · 10-04-2004, 06:07 PM

I can't believe I have never ran across this post before. Nice Work. WOW!

*Gee_Emm* · 10-04-2004, 06:08 PM

I guess I should add the pics of the mockup I did of it a couple months ago. This is the way it looked for about 1/2 an hour, then it came back apart again. I just wanted to make sure that the top and everything else would line up. I was relieved after I got it all together, everything was perfect, it will just take some body shimming to get the doors to line up perfect.
