Luckily, we've come a long way since those initial pictures, and to this point, I believe our ride is rust free. The truck began as a long bed GMC with a leaf spring rear. When I bought the truck, I also picked up a 72 Chevy shortbed with a coil rear, with plans of switching the good GMC parts to the short frame. Fortunately, my dad has his own body shop, which has played a major role in this restoration thus far. Unfortunately, his shop is located a couple hours away from where I live, so I sometimes have a hard time convincing him to wait around for my help. I've missed out on a large portion of the rust repair, but I try to make it home as much as possible to get my hands dirty and put in my $.02. More to come soon.
