Re: "The Peach" 1967 GMC Short Stepside

Alrighty its been a while since I have updated this build thread. A ton of things have happened since I bought this thing in March. My mother unfortunately got sick and is only working part time now, so the funds are minimal at the moment. However, I have new bedsides, cross sills and all new hardware to bolt the bed on....properly. The front clip is reassembled with the new core support and inner fenders. I also put the new passenger door on as well as the tailgate. I have ordered the disc brake conversion and will install as soon as I receive it. Also Mom wants a automatic instead of the three on the tree.

Honestly, this truck is in need of a lot more attention than I initially thought. The bed cross sills are angle iron and the driver front frame horn is bent. Also the bed does not sit on the truck straight and leans down on the drivers side...so I am praying that when I reassemble the bed with the new parts that it sits on the frame square and the frame is not tweaked. I need to get the bed parts, disc brake conversion and power steering done because we are moving by Summer.
