    Putting the chain through that fence post tube to keep it from killing each other is the smartest thing I've ever seen.

    This is great. I have had a 1957 GMC 100 for 15 years and have loved it. The GMC has the bullet front bumper and Cameo rear glass but you have a peach there! I've done lots of work on mine. It came with a 265 V8 but it now has a 1978 305 and THM350. I just moved the gas tank from the cab to behind the axle. I put Vintage A/C & heat in it years ago. You are going to have some real fun with this truck. I did the tandem brakes, kingpins and lots more over the years.... Mercedes seats, lots of refreshed wiring, Edlebrock carb and more. Take a look if you like. I call here Daphne so search that and see if anything I did might help you. I had to rebuild the Dana 45 and if you search that you'll see there weren't many 45's so I wonder if that's what you have? Your dash is different than mine as I don't have the Chevy V. I'll be watching every second! Sorry about the vent glass but they make a one piece glass kit and that's from Brothers I think? Best of Good Luck! Bobby

      Thanks for sharing Bobby I appreciate you watching the videos. That sounds like you have one awesome ride! The gmc grill and bumper really is the better looking of the two I dig them! I love the story behind this old Chevy and his personality. I ended up picking up the vent window piece local and cheap just need glass. I’m hoping to start on the truck soon. Got a short bed for it and a late model trailblazer 10 bolt with disk brakes and a 4.10 gear.

      I just got back from Lowes for some concrete and only got 2 offers. She draws attention. Keeping the paint "aged" is the best way. Mine was dark green when new but I have a light blue (like your blue) drivers door - I don't know why. Your doors close real nice but I have to hit mine kinda hard even after adjusting. The only history I have on mine is it was bought new in Belmont NC and was a city work truck for a little town called Mt. Holly NC until 1986. I found it in Charlotte for $3,300 and she was running fine even then. The guy before me painted it yellow and I did the white cab top to fight surface rust. I'm about to see if you get the 6 cyl running.

      @bobeaseshop9389 I love the patina look, less stress. Less work just drive and enjoy. I figure if it’s got paint when I get it then good…. If not oh well haha
