What the **** is this, actual truck content on TMC?!

Everything is looking great so far, man. This build alone might keep me around here a bit more...

Hey, there may not be much truck content on TMC, but we all know exactly what the weather is like in Texas every hour of every day. :lol:

A little update. :tmc:

I finally got time to stop by and see my buddy David and his '72 blazer project. He's removed the top and converted the front end over to a '67.





Picked up my interior from him while I was there, a couple of pics but I never took any of the seats. :uhoh:






I decided I want to go with a front roll pan so I got in touch with Grant Kustoms and they are making me the front roll pan and fender cups. The fender cups extend the front edge of the fenders down 2 inches to make up the gap when the truck is laid out.

The front bumper is a modified 67 Camaro bumper that I'll attempt to duplicate. Have to add 14 inches in the middle and reshape the corners.. A pic from there site on a GMC..

Started patching the holes in my high hump cover, only got one pic of the fit up but I had several holes to fill and a couple of patches to make.







Cut the floor out and still have to get the fit right. The seam between the floor pan and toeboard was off about 3/16" from the factory. With carpet in place you would never notice, but trying to fit the hump in it was really throwing things out of whack.

So I drilled out the factory spot welds at the seam and repositioned it.






More pics as I work through the fit up.

The gas tank is removed so it's time to fill the hole.




Patch panel in and welded.



Lots of grinding later and it doesn't look too bad, a thin coat of filler and it will look perfect. :D

I'm no body man so I will just do the best I can with it!
