What a difference a week makes! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well, worked pretty hard this week on turning this truck around into a decent looking survivor! Thanks for the advice on the Ice clay bar, the paint almost matches front to back now. All I need to fix now is the exhaust leak and it will be ready to ride. It's not perfect by no means as you can see, but a little heavy lifting, a few small mechanical fixes, waxa on waxa off and a few parts laying around and "POW" decent old daily driver. Anyway, I enjoy this forum and appreciate all yaw guys interest in this old iron. Don't know whether to see how much I could get for her or make it my 2nd shop truck...hehe. Got a few pics of before & after for your critique.

That looks good enough to park in anyone's driveway. A cleanup and hubcaps does wonders for em.

lookin good!
I say roll with it a while and see if it grows on you.
If it does, it's ment to be.
If it doesn't, then sell it

You got my vote to roll with it - looks a lot better than my paint.
