37 GMC...My Lil Princesses truck
Permalink  
 

Started this about 3 years ago and left it for a time while I finished the F3.

This is my 14 year old daughters dream truck.

Was a 1 ton grain truck now SBC,Mustang and 4 link  rear with  coilovers.


Got the rear fenders in place and drilled,bolted on.
Started making the 'adjustments' to the running boards to make them fit the new fenders.

Started on the grill.
This was beaten up pretty badly and took lots of 'persuading' back into shape including come alongs and hydraulic jacks.
Pulled the cab and box of to start bodyworking them,

Stuff I'd worked on earlier in the year had surface rust forming and a wire brush didn't want to clean it so I thought I'd try CLR and a scotchbrite pad.



Tried my hand at spraying,it's an epoxy sealer so all the small imperfections I can now see should be easy to fix.

Another 10 hours of bodywork on the back and sides of the cab and shot the sealer.
Ran a block over the roof to gat an idea of what lies ahead.......

I bought a stud gun a few years ago to pull some dents on a friends project and then bought a 'shrinking tip' for it.
Thought I'd try it on the roof.3
Works like a charm,pull the trigger for 1/2 second then a gentle tap from behind and its all good.
