I'm pretty much finished building a '51 GMC 100 for another local business. They had the truck restored around 20 years ago but it never was reliable so they didn't do much with it. They brought it to us to be updated underneath while keeping a fairly original look so they could finally get it out and enjoy it. I used Mustang II front suspension, TCI's Parabolic rear left spring/shock kit, an Explorer 8.8" disc/lsd axle redrilled for 5x4.75", a 5.3/4L60e from an '06 Avalanche with a PSI harness, Tanks Inc rear mount tank, Vintage Air Sure Fit kit with Kwik Performance compressor bracket, Ididit tilt column with a '54 wheel shrunk to 15", Lokar floor shifter and e-brake, and all new glass and weatherstripping. I kept the old paint and door lettering since it was in pretty good shape and only had to touch up a few areas. I did scuff the whole truck after fixing/blending base over the repaired areas and shot a couple coats of slightly flattened SPI Universal Clear.
