Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
I like how you've done the gas tank filler. Something like that is in my future.
Cool dog too! Mine won't sit still long enough for a photo op like that. Any recent pics of the inside of the cab with the old tank removed?

Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
I'll be interested to see pictures and hear your experience with it. When are you planning to spray it? Have you found a booth or a garage?

Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
It'll hopefully get sprayed next week, the weather is supposed to be good, I haven't decides who I'm going to get to paint it, either way it'll end up in a garage or a booth. Don't worry I'll post plenty of pics.

Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
Well its been 2 months since my last post. I've been so busy with college that I havent been able to find much time to do anything. In the time that I have had I checked around for prices on paint jobs. I bought a new Holley double pumper 750 cfm carb and got it put on. Today I installed a new set of headers and cherry bomb glasspacks, pics of that stuff tommorrow. I've got everything to get it painted just dont know when its gonna get done, hopefully soon though.
