It's been a few years... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well it has been quite some time since I have visited the boards. I've had quite a few projects going, such as building a house, but thankfully its all over. Its time to get back working on the truck. I tore the truck apart at the end of 05 wanted to go back through to touch up on the details. Unfortunately, I never got around to putting it back together. I have some big plans for the rebuild and look forward to sharing with you all. I attached a pic of what the truck looked like. I'm sure plenty of you will remember.

lotik · 07-15-2008, 08:32 AM

I shaved the steps myself. I don't think they make prefabbed pieces like they do on the S-10. Its basically done by cutting the "step" portion out and folding the side inward.

I posted some pics of the current state of the truck on the 67-72 forum.

I'm hoping to get a rendering done of what the truck will look like when finished.
