Re: 1961 GMC Project. Only a 3/4ton of work

Finally got a chance to spend more than 10 minuets working on the truck. I replaced the master cylinder and the left rear wheel cylinder, repaired some of the wiring . Got it to sort of stop and drove it around for a while. Not too bad. rides very smooth. I wet sanded with 1000 grit the passenger side of the bed and made it look much better. No more chalky white on the paint and it looks like it's flat or satin finish. I'll do the rest of the truck this weekend so it will look a little better. Now I have to tackle the trans leaks and change all the fluids. I'll tackle all the mechanical stuff to make sure it works properly, then tear down each part seperatly and clean and paint.
