Re: '72 GMC long/fleet in Ottawa area

Got the bed wood buttoned up yesterday. Man that is a lot of carriage bolts! I first got all of the nuts on hand tight for entire bed before tightening them all down as final stage so that is more trips up and down on the creeper than I can count .... and really makes you feel your age (62) when it seems like yesterday rolling around on a creeper was no big deal and you flew up and down.
So pretty happy with the outcome but was hoping the colour would be a big darker and redder. No big deal easy to apply another coat of oil stain.
So the 2do list to complete the back half ....
- upper and lower trim on box side panels
- tailgate upper/lower trim, hardware and mounting
- license plate light install
- a few loose ends underneath tie up wires etc and not forget to get a breather in the diff vent hose
