Re: 68 GMC progress pics
Very nice. Love the color. Glad to see someone else building a GMC and not turning it into a Chevy

You guys are doing an awesome job on that thing. Feels good when you accomplish a project like the seat cover and it comes out great doesn't it. You'll be driving it down the boulevard before you know it...  LockDoc

Re: 68 GMC progress pics
Yes, (too much stuff) I did switch to 1/2 ton discs, 373 gears its going to be 66 degrees today so it will be a good day to work outside. We are going to take box sides off of a wood floor box & put them on a steel floor,I have a new front panel for a steel floor. i'll post more pics when we make more progress.
