You certainly did a nice job on the truck. I like the White/Red/White. I may have to do that to my White/Red long bed.

Very nice.
That is a Canada-specific GMC logo on the fender isn't it?

Bassetlounge · 05-22-2012, 10:55 PM

I did the white on the bottom and polished the rest. the truck was redone about 18 years ago so the red paint is that old

shawno72 · 05-23-2012, 01:06 AM

So was it a 4x4 to 4x2 conversion? Turned out really nice!!

Nice 910, three years isn't bad to get all the work done and looking great. Enjoy driving around this summer.

**RenoKeene** · 05-23-2012, 10:18 AM

Very pretty GMC. I love the big wall of chrome grill (you can tell by my avitar).

Bert W · 05-23-2012, 11:10 AM

It's good to get outside once in a while. Truck looks great! That late model steering wheel looks at home. Nice uphosltery on the seat to, like a La Z Boy recliner.

69 GMC forever · 05-24-2012, 02:34 AM

thanks for all the thumbs up guys

KellerMAC · 05-24-2012, 08:34 AM

Very Nice - Great Job! Love that you added the white paint at the bottom.

tubbedII · 05-24-2012, 03:33 PM

Very nice! Can't believe the paint buffed out that nicely! I thought you had it repainted as well.
