Re: 49 GMC Five Window

Had three reputable painters look at the truck - all said the same thing.

They didn't want to paint over prep work done by someone else. Only one bid - $8K - and he was going to reprime the truck and block it again using materials he's familiar with.

So it looks like the turn-key painting solution is out, and I'm going to have to manage it. The guy that did all the panel replacement and bodywork is an experienced painter, but no paint booth. The plan is to do all the jambs and interior in Wyatt's shop, then rent a booth to do the exterior.

Installed the Camaro gas tank with the filler under the license plate.

Trial fit of the new MarK bed making sure everything fits ok and running boards bolt up to the rear fenders.



The dash painted



Next step is the inside of the doors and the jambs
