Nick Winter Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Bought it off a friend in Febuary, been tinkering ever since, '68 Cab, '71 Bumpers and part of the bed, '72 Bed, resin '69 Grille, '70 Chevelle Magnum 500's. Started out looking like this, the red bed is the '71 bed Then I mocked it up Then I had a change of plans. Bodywork. Added trim, 70 Style Painted it and Decaled, and cleared. More to come. Nick
Nick Winter Posted March 30, 2013 Author Posted March 30, 2013 Interior was pretty decent so I just did the dash, added a shifter and cleaned up the seats, I touched up the brown and painted the center seat/arm rest. Also polished the truck out and foiled it. Nick Cool project! I realy like those body lines! Thank you Jose, one of my favorite body style of GM truck was the '67-'72 Nick
MyBradKeselowski Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Beautiful looking truck... The only thing I see wrong are the rear side marker lights don't match the front side marker lights...

LOL there's a lot of things wrong, that's the idea, It also has parking lights in the grille and front bumper. Nick
mikemodeler Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Nice save Nick, way to go polishing that baby up. For future reference, if you decide to shorten the bed, you have to chop a bit out of the bed behind the wheel openings too. Said it before, your skills keep improving and it shows!~

Funny thing is Mike, I didn't notice it until I had already painted it Looks like a good parts getter Hmmm Your the only person to notice that. Nick
Edsel-Dan Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 I do Love this era Chevy/GMC pickup too. Got Several!! Need to do a Shortbox Fleetside too since I have both Long & Short Stepsides!!
Chris White Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 It nice to see a fellow truck lovin Canadian. Nice build, your colour choice is perfect. Short beds rule. Lindsey Chev Olds, is that near Ponty Pool?
01blueedge Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 looks good I always like the earlier grilles in these trucks
wrecker388 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Your title sounds like something that Johnny Cash would of said in "One piece at a time". Great looking build too.

Lindsey Chev Olds, is that near Ponty Pool? Thanks Chris, the colour just seemed to fit perfect. Yes there is but these decals are for a Chev dealership out of Ohio. last photo's before underglass Nick
