Re: 68 GMC frame off build
Had one last look at my buddys work before I installed the tank cover. It almost hurts to cover up such nice work.

Re: 68 GMC frame off build
What’s your opinion of the 15” steering wheel?
Nice quality? Killer truck.

Re: 68 GMC frame off build
Thanks!!

I like it so far. Its not spindly and weak like the 17 aftermarket wheels. Or at least they used to be. The finish looks good as well. I bought one for the K5 as well.

Re: 68 GMC frame off build
Interior is basically finished with the exception of some wiring.
Put together a few before and after combo pics.

Re: 68 GMC frame off build
First time she has left the property since I bought her in September of 2019. Although she looks a little different these days.
Dropped her off at my buddies shop for exhaust.

Re: 68 GMC frame off build
Nice work J. I know most of the fellas that you have chosen to work on this truck and you made good choices. It was my privilege to help where I could with your vision. Although I'm a stock kinda guy this truck is perfect!

He did not. These were done by a guy up here in Alberta Canada. Im not sure if Boris does his in house or subs it out. He does have some immensely talented people working for him.
