I wish i could get my son interested, he just turned 14 and I was going to give him my 91 k5 and thought we could fix it up over the next 2 years.....But he said it was to big and he wanted a car instead. Someday he will come around.....I hope. But anyway the truck looks good tell your boy to keep up the good work.

Okay rain stoped and we got the steering box changed, replaced the rotted brake line,and wheel cylinders. Made a big difference and its alot safer now.

SCHRUMGMC · 04-01-2013, 08:38 AM

I just got engaged this past christmas, my soon to be wife has a 6 year old son, cant wait to start projects like this with him!

SCHRUMGMC · 04-01-2013, 07:30 PM

Loving the progress man.Wonderful work

sstaten69 · 04-22-2013, 08:18 AM

1badassblackss congrats on the engament, I,m sure your step son will find a project.. And it will be alot of fun and memorable for the both of you. This is Wyatt weldin in the stakebed holes the day after we had his scout troop come and weld up some of the small holes that where on the bed rail.(Guess the old owners needed about 100 extra holes on it??) they were working on a welding merit badge so he let them mig weld some of the holes on his truck.. After he welded the rest of the holes and the stakebed holes he then ground them down and sanded the top all down so we can fill the dents and low spots too make it all smooth and clean.. Thinkin we are going to try and tackel the rockers next? keep your fengers crossed..

sstaten69 · 04-26-2013, 02:01 AM

All finished up, looks good..

SCHRUMGMC · 04-26-2013, 02:08 AM

Why'd you weld up them Holes ?

sstaten69 · 04-26-2013, 02:17 AM

just the look he is after...

71sixgun · 04-26-2013, 06:50 AM

From one Eagle scout to another, Nice job!! It looks as if its coming out great! It's so nice to see a father and son project on one of these old trucks!! It sounds like they boy has a promising future and a nice truck.

Lou Boffa · 04-26-2013, 09:11 AM

awesome. gave my son my '85 after he'd been drooling over it AND helping me get it nice...then I bought my '70. That one will be for a grand kid---one of these days!

rambler · 04-26-2013, 12:18 PM

looks like he has a plan... just subscribing to watch the progress

sstaten69 · 06-10-2013, 12:33 AM

Okay we been busy, we moved and havent done anything to the truck. We got all done with the move, we were sitting outside and he said dad can I weld up the pass door holes? before you go to cali..(going to work for a few weeks)

sstaten69 · 07-17-2013, 12:52 AM

Our son has gotting a summer job and after he got his first good check he spent some moneys on his truck.... 1st pic is the before, 2nd after he welded the trim holes and the new tail and back up lenses, the las pic is those bright LEDs.... looking good son....

mud.man.rj · 07-17-2013, 02:03 AM

All the millions of small things add up and then some day...wow.

sstaten69 · 07-19-2013, 02:46 AM

He also bought new mirrors. he took the old ones off welded up those big holes and know he has the peeps on....

mud.man.rj · 07-20-2013, 12:53 AM

Sure don't like those mirrors for visability, but they look cool.

kornfed · 07-20-2013, 01:01 AM

Sweet project! Gonna look good when all done!

sstaten69 · 07-27-2013, 05:05 PM

We just finished the front bumper, no more big bolts...

69Cherrybomber · 07-28-2013, 08:34 PM

This is very coincidental. I am also an Eagle Scout and about to start my junior year (I will also be driving mine to school this year)

. My father has the first generation, a GMC 1000 series. I started working on my 69 GMC long bed just under a year ago and I have the exterior done (the chrome G and C is back on) but the interior is next.

Also that is a very nice truck and you guys are doing great work on it.
