Re: Ackattack's Pro touring restoration thread

Well over christmas break I've made a little progress. The main work has been on my 72 GMC, so I'll just show a quick before and after

Before:



After:



On the 68, I finally got a lower control arm. DHL only took an extra week to deliver it! (little ticked about that, but what can you do) I got it taken apart, and hopefully I'll sand blast and paint it tommorrow.

I pulled the steering componenets off of my parts truck, so I need to get new tie rod ends ordered here ASAP.

I moved the "new" cab into the garage with the help of some friends:


And then proceeded to remove the drivers side rocker panel.


Looks like I'll be needing inner and outer rocker panels, cab corners, floor pan, kick panels, lower a-pillar, and cab supports (pretty much everything right??? At least on the drivers side. I assume the passenger side will be the same.

I then removed all of the crap that won't be needed, like the heating componenets, radio, wiring, etc.





So I have some work to do
