Re: 1968 GMC "Camillian"

Final got some updates on here. It would have been sooner if the website allowed mobile uploads. Anyway I filled in the original blower hole as well as fixing poor repairs in the upper fender mount. After that was done, I started body working the closeout panels and the roof of the cab. I also re hung the passenger door to verify fit after the rock replacement and to bodywork the cab corners to match any slight variation between it and the door. Lastly I modified an original power brake booster bracket to fit a '92 astro van hydroboost I had bought at a junk yard. The bot pattern is the same as the stock vacuum booster, but the rod is just over 1 inch longer. In the effort to not make custom parts for "wear" items I thought it best to make the bracket longer so that if I need to replace the booster, it would be a simple parts swap instead of having to modify a new one. It isn't the prettiest way to do it, but the most effective for a truck I intend to drive a lot.
