Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
you might need to drill a little hole in it to prevent any rainwater from puddling in there

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
I think it would look good painted the body color but on mine the rear panel behind the bottom of the gate was painted black so I did the filler in black , the body guy painted it black to blend in with the rino/line-x that I'll have sprayed in once I can drive it there, hopefully soon !

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
Thanks I knew you would be proud ! I havent got them cleaned up just yet , did you sand the woodgrain down on your dash trim ? I did get primer on the key rack, everybody at the shop really liked it , thanks again,

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
100mph @ 800rpm? You should get really good mileage.
Dash panel is going to look great man! |
