Jared Roach Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I finished this one a couple of days ago. Pretty much box stock except for the added rust holes, roof light, stock air cleaner, and modified CB antenna. I also added some chain on the front of the plow. The missing turn single didn't come out as well as I wanted but overall it was a Pretty good build and I can't wait to build another as a nice truck. I also should have weathered the chain also but it was already glued on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robwes70 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 That is just Awesome. Good job. I have a couple of the earlier GMC pick up models and was thinking of scratch building the plow. But, after seeing your build I may have to just get the whole kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Looks perfect from here- many of the remaining late '70's GM trucks in Michigan look pretty much like that, plow-equipped or no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorpedo66 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Great job on this one, it's spot on! Being from Northern Wisconsin and in the poorest county in WI and driving a snowplow myself have seen this truck many times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Roach Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 Hey thanks everyone. It's was my first time actually weathering something like this and it was fun. It did help though there was a very similar truck at my work with the same plow setup and rust holes haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
