Progress pics of my '68 GMC Extend-a-cab
 

I'll start with a couple of before pics, keep in mind that this only came into the shop to have a 5.0 l 5 speed installed. I will post more pics as I come across the time too.

Nice solid start. Now where are those progress pics???? :cool:

Yeah, Man!! We need PROGRESS!!! ;)

Yes, pics or ban :rndll:

Sorry, I was going to post some progress pics today, but a simple 6 hour round trip parts run, turned into 13+ hours of driving through one of the worst snow storms of the winter. Too think that yesterday was so nice here I was going to pull the other vehicles out the storage shed, boy am I glad that I didn't. I will post the pics as promised when I get back to the shop. Have a great weekend.

Here are the only two pics that I have on this computer, (hard drive went for a trip). The first is of the cargo/brake light and the second is the original owner's manual that I scored off of ebay, thanks to CPNE.

Here's another of your truck..

Thanks, that one is from a long time ago, it is currently painted inside and on the underside and remounted to the new chassis, the box is sitting on the frame and the front fenders are mounted. We are hoping to have it run under its own power by the end of the week.

Can't wait to see the Pic's Jim! Great to hear of your Progress!

Here are some more before pics, I am trying to keep them all together on one thread to make it easier on everyone.

Here is a better pic of a 930 emblem as we discussed earlier. Thanks alot.

Here are a couple of pics of the drivetrain, and one of the bottom side of the cab while it was still on the rotisserie. The last one is of my helper for the evening.

Here are a couple of pics, the first three are the way I bought it and the last two are of the way I destroyed a perfectly good driving 1992 Chevrolet 3500.

:ww: :cong: :phat:

Here's a couple of chassis pics again, I promise that some real good pics are coming shortly.

Some of the interior before and after paint.

Here is how it is almost sitting right now, I am hoping to get the dually fenders fabricated this week sometime and then sandlast and paint the box. This truck is going to be one long unit, especially with the car trailer behind it.

That looks awesome ! What rims are you going to use ? You are going to have to spend nearly every night up there to get it finished by june Eh ?

I would recomend not sandblasting the box. You will warp the sides for sure. Your dad should know that. Unless you mean Media blast that would be oky.

I am going to a wrecking yard next saturday I will check for that emblem you need it's a 930 GMC right ? Any other small parts you need ?

Later, Mario

Very sweet setup....can't wait to see the finished product. Much cooler old truck on a modern chassis :D

72MARIO: Thanks for the compliments, I believe that I might have three 930 emblems now (thanks to longhorn71 for one). I don't believe that I am going to be sandblasting the box as I stated, probably media blasting or taking it down the road for some soda blasting.

YELLOW72CUSTOM: Thanks as well, I really wanted the modern day chassis and running gear because I plan on pulling the car trailer or our fifth wheel house trailer with this alot, the original drum brakes all the way around just wasn't going to cut it.

WoW!! That bad boy is coming along quite nicely! Its after midnight here, and you are making me want to go out and get back to work on mine right now!! ;)

72MARIO: These are the caps and rings that I am going to put on it, with the original painted rims. Thanks to 67-C_30 for locating them for me.

Cant wait to see this one done, looks great!!

Jim It's Looking GREAT!!!! I'm totally amazed...Great Work. Keep us posted!

Brian :canada: :bowtie: :metal: :gmc: :flag:

Thanks Brian that means alot to me. I am going to real busy on this truck since I still need it done by the first of June so hopefully I will have more progress pics quickly.
