look'n good ! I really like the interior !

palposity · 08-08-2010, 06:50 PM

Hey how's it going with your project?

evowerks · 08-08-2010, 07:27 PM

It's on the back burner for a while. I had to pickup and outfit another truck for bussiness this year. It has been consuming all of my free time.

palposity · 08-09-2010, 10:51 AM

I know how that goes.

rico73 · 09-27-2010, 07:50 AM

That truck is looking awesome!! I am currently building one myself. It is in the tear down and cleaning up the frame stage. I'm definately gettting some inspiration fom you!! I have it all planned out down to the paint and interior now just gotta get the time and some $$$ up!!

*87 chevy silverado* · 04-21-2011, 08:51 PM

is it finished?

evowerks · 04-22-2011, 04:42 PM

I've been distracted from the GMC with multiple projects lately....hoping to get back into it before the end of the year.

I'll post as soon as progress resumes.

Thanks for your interest.

BIG V · 04-22-2011, 11:27 PM

nice build

evowerks · 01-09-2012, 08:42 PM

Started back on the GMC project this weekend...Hoping to get the lower bed panels welded in by the end of the week....thanks for everyone’s interest in the project. Will post more pics as progress continues.

1985-GMC · 01-09-2012, 10:32 PM

Im glad your back on it, its a sweet truck!

konakustoms · 01-09-2012, 10:48 PM

Keep up the good work!! You guys keep me going on mine. Always nice to see color go on a body to make it worth all the work.

Devillusion · 01-09-2012, 11:27 PM

very nice.....and quick turn around too. Wish mine was going as fast...

Gordonr1973 · 01-10-2012, 02:00 AM

Very very nice work!!

Sarge261 · 01-10-2012, 08:20 PM

I am excited to see this thing go together. I am going to mate the cab back to chassis soon on my truck too. I have some welding to do on the cab corners and fire wall then off to primer.

Anyway we could get a teaser shot of the cab and chassis together...I need a little insperation.

Looks Awesome.

1985-GMC · 01-10-2012, 10:35 PM

Do you have a build thread Sarge?

Sarge261 · 01-12-2012, 08:02 PM

But I dont know how to link it in my signature. Its in the 73-87 section under project Zues.

I stripped the block down and it's sitting at the machinist.
I've also picked up a set of complete aluminum heads.
I'd like to finish the body before I throw any more money at the motor.

evowerks · 01-21-2012, 09:27 PM

A couple of old pics from when my Dad owned the truck in the mid 70's.

Sarge261 · 01-21-2012, 09:28 PM

That thing looks mean in the first pic next to the old caddy.

Me Likey

evowerks · 01-21-2012, 11:28 PM

Thats 's actually a 1973 Olds 98,(my grandfathers car), everyone always thought it was a Caddy. That pic was when my Dad was running snow tires on the truck, we could always here him coming home from blocks away.
