Re: 1973 Gmc Cab Rebuild
The truck got put on the back burner once again,,,back into it once again though.....I just shot the bed in with color and clear today...I'll post pics tomorrow when it's dry enough to bring out and mate it to the frame.

Re: 1973 Gmc Cab Rebuild
Thanks for everyone's interest in my project.....I'll have more pictures to post as I expect to be devoting more of my time to the build now.... I managed to mate the bed to the rest of the truck today...I plan on painting the inside of the bed at a later time.....Plans are to paint the tailgate and hood next.....the wheels on the truck are just temporary

Re: 1973 Gmc Cab Rebuild
It looks awesome! You need some 16.5x9.75 steelies on it with stock caps!
Edit: It looks like it wad some on it at one time. Also is that a 2 1/2" lift?

Re: 1973 Gmc Cab Rebuild
Thanks.....haven't made a decision on the rims yet...definitely going with 10" wide though.....lift is a 3" Tuff Country, springs, no blocks.

Re: 1973 Gmc Cab Rebuild
Or you could go with some Wheel Vintiques 16" x 10"s if you don't want to deal with finding 16.5 tires. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=133

Re: 1973 Gmc Cab Rebuild
Great link for the steelies...I know that I don't want 16.5s because of limited tire selection...16's would work though...if I decide to go this direction I'll have to keep my eyes open for stock caps.

Re: 1973 Gmc Cab Rebuild
Working on purchasing parts for the engine. After the island gets back to normal from the hurricane. I'll be back into the project again.
A quick shot of the beginnings of my carb set up, carbs will be rebuilt as soon as I receive the final carb. UPS service is a little jambed up here.

Re: 1973 Gmc Cab Rebuild
Before and after pics of the radiator support that I had to rebuild.
I planned on using the new repro shown, but thanks to goodmark's lack of quality, I had to scavenge the bottom section from the new one to fix the old. The mounting holes were close to 1 inch off on the goodmark piece!!

Re: 1973 Gmc Cab Rebuild
Thanks......It works as a spray booth and additional garage space, which it seems like I can never have enough of.
