My 1966 GMC Long Bed Stepside - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Classic v6 GMC's** · 03-05-2016, 11:21 PM

Starting this build thread for my truck. We have been slowly working on it for the past year but we are going to focus on getting it done by summer.
Here are some pics before we started working on it.

**Classic v6 GMC's** · 03-05-2016, 11:26 PM

Here are some pics from October when we sand blasted and painted the back half of the frame.

**Classic v6 GMC's** · 03-05-2016, 11:33 PM

And when we blasted and painted the cross sills.

**Classic v6 GMC's** · 03-05-2016, 11:41 PM

Since then we have removed the rest of the front end sheet metal. We blasted and painted the front half of the frame, firewall, inner fenders and core support. We blasted and primed the rear cross sill, cowls and grill support. Sorry but no pics.

**Classic v6 GMC's** · 03-05-2016, 11:50 PM

I bought new step side fenders, stainless steel bed strips and all the stainless bolt from LMC. Then a new front bed panel, tailgate and long bed sides from Mar-k. Again no pictures.

Wow, That IS Nice! I see a factory clock, and Bat-O-Meter as well as the hazard knob too. I assume you have the V6; Is it a 351E? I just noticed it's an automatic as well.

**Classic v6 GMC's** · 03-06-2016, 12:05 AM

Today we got busy and got the bed sides primed and some paint on front bed panel, tailgate, rear cross sill, front fenders and cowls.

**Classic v6 GMC's** · 03-06-2016, 12:07 AM

More pics

**Classic v6 GMC's** · 03-06-2016, 09:35 PM

Sanded the bed sides and got one painted before we ran out of paint. Also got 2 coats of clear on the tailgate, front bed panel, fenders, cowls, one bed side and rear cross sill.
