Re: '68 GMC 1 ton dually restoration

Re: '68 GMC 1 ton dually restoration
Painted the firewall and the inside of the fenders. The picture of the fender shows the color better. |

Re: '68 GMC 1 ton dually restoration
Ok well this update is little late but thought I should post. I ended up painting the driver fender and door. I'm hoping to have the cab painted this weekend but not sure. |

Re: '68 GMC 1 ton dually restoration
Okay guys I know it's been awhile but I have been working on a lot of small things on the truck. Got all the bugs worked out of the turn signals, door glass installed, exhaust welded up with new hangers and have it all fine tuned and running great. Over the last week or so I've been able to really take the truck out and put so miles on it but my brakes suck. I'm experiencing a really soft pedal, where the brakes won't grab till the pedal is to the floor. I've spent hours bleeding the brakes and have no more air bubbles coming out. I've also installed a new master cylinder and wheel cylinders. Haven't found anything leaking and my fluid level stays the same. Any help would be great, I really don't feel safe driving it the way it is now. |

Re: '68 GMC 1 ton dually restoration
Finally got all the carpet installed along with the radio from custom autosound. What a difference it makes. Next on the list is reupholstering the seats.

Re: '68 GMC 1 ton dually restoration
Took the truck on it’s first long distance drive over the weekend. 600 mile round trip to Arizona and back. The truck did phenomenal!

Re: '68 GMC 1 ton dually restoration
Over the last couple of days I got the column rebuilt and sealed up the floors, rocker panels and rain gutters. |

Mocked the truck again today. Still deciding if I want to use the original doors or the extra set I have. |
