Re: 1978 GMC Build!
The color is vht burnt copper. Thought it would look good with the orange paint and gunmetal inner fenders. I was thinking polished but wanted thoughts from other members. lets see who else chimes in

Re: 1978 GMC Build!
A place in Wichita Kansas called ICT BILLET. The mount with tax was less then $40.00. I purchased the power steering mount today and will get pictures of it when i install it tomorrow. It was also less then $40.00. If you look them up on ebay its free shipping. They are much nicer then all the other mounts i have seen and the price is killer. Here is the website. I believe free shipping from it as well. www.ICTBILLET.COM

Re: 1978 GMC Build!
Well guys it is taking shape. Got the first coat of color on the inside of cab. Buddy should have finished it up today. Then I will get it picked up. With the weather turning nasty it will be under a tarp until I can do the final block sanding on the outside and shoot the outside of the cab and all other body parts when it warms up. It's in the teens for at least the next few weeks. Only one good photo came out.

Re: 1978 GMC Build!

Re: 1978 GMC Build!
Well guys picked up a new toy. Made a few modifications to make it run like a champ, Added light with LED bulb. Sealed the hell out of it. Also made a DIY cyclone dust separator placed in between the cabinet and the shop vac. So far has collected all dust and crud in the 5 gallon bucket and nothing in the vac. Makes restoring all the small brackets and such so much easier.

Re: 1978 GMC Build!
Well took the tarp off of her so she could breathe and let the sun in to help cure the interior paint. Got the poly body mounts installed. Rain in the forecast end of week so she will be taped again. Wish the weather would warm up enough so I can get her blocked and the paint finished so assembly can begin.

Re: 1978 GMC Build!
Not much on the truck. Everyday I'm off its cold and nasty. When I'm at work it's 70 degrees and perfect. However, I did score some wheels for the rear. 15x12. Gonna get fronts next. She is gonna be low and wide.
