Did you make this box yourself? Looks good!

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
 

Thanks , I built the box ,just thought it would look cleaner in there , yep everything on the LS is either polished or chrome , its bad ass I took a pic of the back, you can see the supercharger !

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
 

all i can say is wow

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
 

awesome!!

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
 

Made some progress on the doors , got the latches , handles , mirrors,weather stipping and windows mounted up, they close like a new truck now !

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
 

they done a pretty nice jobs with the gaps between the sheetmetal , the typeshield on the frontfender is a bit eeer huge maibe another version or no shield would be nicer

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
 

lookin good man!

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
 

Thanks, We worked at getting the panel gaps lined up, had to fill in some the right side rear of the door jam but everything else fit good , those are the 73-74 fender emblems I thought they looked huge to but I like the super custom part, everything body asks if I had them custom made ,Its been nice out so I been trying to get all the loose ends finished up, hopfully next week I can get the windshield/rear window installed so I can finish the interior,

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
 

looking at the picture for a bit ...... i wonder how long it will take untill someone puts a taxi sighn on the roof or checkered strips down the side it looks a lot like the yelow taxies use

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
 

Who widened your rear wheels? Was it very expensive?

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
 

I like those emblems myself...

ps. (for the Netherlander) taxi yellow is alot brighter than this

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
 

LOL , No taxi but I could maybe deal with the checkered stripe ! I bought the wheels from Wheel vintiques, I would get them without paint, it fell off just sitting in the garage after a year ,

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
 

Love that shade of yellow, Its not too flashy, but enough to catch your eye.

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
 

Thanks, I'm glad I stuck with the yellow , I like the kinda vintage look it has ,I got my blue snapper exhaust grommets ,so I've been making plastic templates for exhaust mounts today ,

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
 

Glad to see another yellow classic on here!

where did you get the good fenders you have? I need some new ones...front and rear...

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
 

Thanks, I got some more done today, I ran the wires for the dome and cargo lights and installed the new cargo light, I'll never take them wires out ever again ! I also got the tail lights in after some grinding of the housing and the rear bumper set on ,I now see I need to find or make the rear bumper filler plates , I got the fenders from ebay about 5 years ago from a seller about 3 hours away , I paid $500 for the pair

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
 

i little trick about those wires , when you take them out feed a lenght of metal wire through the channel by tying it to the end of the wire and feed it in when you pulling the wire
bend a hook on the ends so it doesnt fall in and leave it there during painting that way you can use it to pull the wiring back trough the channel

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
 

nice! let me know how the bag set up works at the track

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
 

truck looks nice!

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
 

Thanks guys , I made a aluminum rear bumper filler panel today and painted it semigloss then mounted it up, also got the bumper mounted on for good I hope !

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
 

I got the overfow tank welded up at work today !

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
 

Thanks guys , That really makes me feel good , I appriciate it , I'll keep the pics coming, been to cold to go out an mount the overflow but I did get 2 of the exhaust mounts finished up at work ,
