First some pics...

It is a California truck with zero rust and a straight body. I love it. I bought it as a work truck, but now want to restore her slowly. Things I've done- - removed the lumber rack - replaced fancy aluminum wheels with freshly painted 8 lug steelies - new BF Goodrich LT 235/ 85/ 16 Commercials (nice and tall) - replaced rotten wood bed with varnished Spanish Cedar, polished stainless strips, and all stainless hardware - new dash bezel, dash pad, rubber floor mat, rear view mirror, dome light - new upholstered seat, door panels, and visors - new sidemarker and tail light lenses - new fender emblems - rhinolined sides of bed (kinda regretting that now) - new diamond plated rear step bumper - new flowmaster exhaust - new Rancho 5000 shocks - new stainless armored brake lines - new rubber weatherstripping and bumpers all around Now I need to do the hard stuff. - new 350 engine (thinking about a new GM crate 350) - Edelbrock performer intake manifold - Edelbrock 1405 carb with manual choke - Edelbrock aluminum valve covers - Edelbrock air cleaner - water pump - water neck - distributor - wires - cap and rotor - oil dipstick - aluminum radiator - get the factory AC to work (blows, but not cold) - & eventually get her painted! Dan

Re: My 1970 GMC Custom Camper pics and to do list...
I'll get some engine pics today. I was too embarassed to show you those originally! The GMC badges have V8 2500 under the GMC. Where do I find replacement Custom Camper badges for the doors?
Thanks, Dan
