Re: Out of the Ditch = The Rebuild Begins ('72 GMC)

Test fit the carpet today. Will cut it at the rear so it will fit all the way to the back of the cab. The chrome sills are just laying there to get an idear of how it will look. Truck originally had a rubber floor mat, so this will be a nice addition. Hoping to get the carpet cut, tank reinstalled, and the bench seat from my donor truck installed tomorrow.

Also installed the drive line today. I put new U-joints in it and gave it a fresh coat of paint.

I also got the doors put back together with new latch controls, new window regulators, new rubber seals and new wipes and felts. Do your self a favor and print and use the instructions by randy500 in this thread: Door Assembly, the Easy Way Even though there are no pictures, it made all the difference in the world to have his step-by-step instruction!
