68 GMC "The Chillest"

[chill68]

Hey everyone. This is my new build thread. I had one started a while back so some of you might recognize this. Its been a long cold winter and im ready to get down and dirty and get this truck FINISHED!

Last summer I started working on my truck, heres what i did. (to make a long story short)

-Pulled the bed off
-Took off hood, front fenders (inner and outer), grill, cowl, and doors.
-Took off cab.
-Blasted and painted frame.
-Cut out cab floor and blasted cab.
-Put in whole new floor pan.
-Put in new cab corners.
-Primed cab and put it back on frame.
-Sanded and primed body panels and doors (after a lot of Bondo and dent pulling.)
-Put panels and doors back on truck.
-Installed new glass and weatherstrips.
-Put a bunch of cool new stuff in it like a glovebox, dome light, radio and speakers, insulation and floor mat, and a rear view mirror (which i do have a pic of!) oh and don't forget the fuzzy dice!

So here is the truck basically as is.

Looks like a great start

Nice. Do you have a bed for it?

[chill68]

Yep here r some pics of the bed. It needs to be blasted and patched. I also need a new tailgate.

Here r some pics of when i was working on priming the cab. I had the doors and all the front panels off and i primed them too.

Under the hood i got a 69 327 with an Edelbrock Performer Series carb, brand new alternator, new distributor. Everything else was in it when i got it.

I just put the bed on today to take into my dad's shop so we can fix it up. It needs new supports, some patches and a new paint job.

i love the Truck bro its pretty clean looking cab wise from what i can see , do you plan on keepin the 327 or are you gonna swap ?

[chill68]

Hey thnx a lot! Eventually there will be a rebuilt engine in it. I might just rebuild the 327 bc i really like that engine. I do have a plan for a 400 hp 350 rebuild that i might end up using on the 350 from my dads 71. (below) Im not decided yet but that would be one of the last things i do in my restoration.
