You sure did a good job getting the original finish back out of it.

Do you recall where you got that sticker on the air cleaner from? I've been looking for that one for a while amd can't track it down. "GMC Invader 350 four barrel"

Exactly what I was thinking when I saw this.

To the OP, great job on your truck. This thing gives me inspiration that a clean restoration is still possible. :) I love it. You've done great things here. Kudos.
:metal:

All he needs is a sticker from the Redneck Country Club in Stafford!

Super nice truck. I really like the tire/wheel/hubcap combo.

Hey, this truck is super nice! I really like that blue color you picked! Do you have a color code/name for that blue? I think I would like to paint my K5 Blazer that color... Thanks

If you told me that was an original truck, that never saw the light of day, I would believe you. Phenomenal restoration.

Cool another GMC back on the road.

Great looking truck!!

How do you like the Procar seats? I have em in my K5 and think they are a GREAT value per dollar for new buckets, but only have a few hours of windshield time in them. very comfy. I plan on using similar seats in some of my other projects...

Fine example of a GMC

Edit: you already commented on the seats, so nvr mind lol
