Wow! Really nice looking truck!

79gmcc15 · 06-13-2010, 04:18 AM

Very nice! I like it lots! when ya going to start on mine?

Really nice truck you built there. It turned out great. Since you plan to hit some shows, maybe I can offer a suggestion. Having judged shows for years, I will suggest that the blue wire loom is more of a distraction than an enhancement. It draws your eyes away from the detail on the motor and causes you to look at the wiring instead.

Reagrdless, your truck is super clean.

Thanks> I had more than that but didnt like it either> I am in the process of replacing it all with black for a clean stock look.

Good call. It will look much cleaner.

Dude that truck is gorgeous!!!! That look is my eventual goal for my 1978 GMC 3/4 ton Camper Special. Thank you for giving the imspiration to know that my ugly duckling can look like a swan with a little cash and elbow grease, someday.

looks awesome! If my opinion matters the tail light covers are horrible.
