I just picked up a 82 short bed with a 250 6 in it. In the process of making it my driver. Cleaned it and detailed it. Did a tune up and a few other little odds and ends. Been a while since I had a square can't wait to get it dropped and just drive it.

Took advantage of the paid day off and got my dash put back together on the 76

hood needs a little work but it was cheap and i would rather have the gmc grill but owell for now

Looks nice, in my opinion you should leave the Chevy grille on, I think they look better than the GMC ones.

I got my truck back together enough to tow my scout up to PA to wheel at rausch creek. nothing like putting something back together and driving it 1500 miles towing something!

still got alot of work to do for it to be done, but at least its useable again!

That looks awesome. Where did you get the dash at? I've read a couple horror stories on buying them front the wrong places. Also is the instrument bezel cover from LMC? It looks good.

Thanks, The dash pad is original GM with no cracks and the dash gauge bezel is a GM NOS right out of the box
