Re: Barn find 1972 GMC Survivor ex-RCMP truck
I removed the bumpers and took them to work and pressed out any dents. They were both the factory installed bumpers. Even the step bumper is on the SPID. I would prefer the non step rear bumper, but this is what it came with. I do need one of the factory license plate lights with the glass lenses. I had the front bumper powder coated white and the rear silver/grey to match the original colors. Once I got it cleaned up I took it to our local show and shine. Alot of people really liked the truck and couldn't believe the paint was original. I have been driving it around town quite a bit.
Next things I need to work on are a liitle more under the hood clean-up, brake job, there is a funny noise vibration at 50MPH - I think it is a u-joint or steady bearing, and order up a new floor mat. Oh yeah a new windshield!
