Re: my truck s new paint still in progress
Boy, I can remember. When mine was at that stage in the build, i didnt think I would ever get to where I am now. But yours will be a beauty when its put together.

Re: my truck s new paint still in progress

Re: my truck s new paint still in progress
The 67/68 chevy fenders are exactly the same as the 67-72 gmc fenders, minus the side markers in 67. On the GMC's the grille and trim goes over the nose of the fenders.
the nose of your fenders should look exactly like the ones on my chevy. Here's some GMC fenders, you can see they don't have the recess cut into them, you can see they're just like 67/68 chevy fenders, the trim just goes over the leading edge. The trim won't fit on the fenders you have.

Re: my truck s new paint still in progress
So sorry man, I know that's got to sting a bit, but if your painter is the one that pushed you into using those fenders... I think he's got some "free work" he needs to be doing...

Re: my truck s new paint still in progress
Not to steal your thread or anything but I think I bought the bed of that truck in your profile pic the one pulling the truck on the trailer from your dad a few months ago.
