Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
Still assessing the damages from the accident, removed the box today no damages there that's one good thing. The cab has a little bit more damage that i though at first, the right side of the dash is dented, got a new one but not sure yet if I'll replace the whole thing or just the damaged area. Also found an other hood no rust but its dented at the back.

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
Made the decision to go with flat out c4 conversion kit for the front and keep my 4link coilovers at the rear for now. While waiting for the kit to arrive I'm fitting the front sheet metal back together. Reworked the rad crattle and installed new fenders, I'm surprise to see the drv side fender fits really well with just minor adjustment. The pass side is a different story, must have been a Friday afternoon build fender, nothing lines up or fits properly even the headlight bucket doesn't fit.

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
Good to see some great progress again!
What makes you decide not going with the C4 IRS at this point? Now that you're rebuilding it..

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
While waiting on the front end parts its more body work. Since i had that cowling apart i took time to replace the vent door assembly, my old one was rusted out.

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
Ok back working on the truck again, was away on vacation and then finished a couple of other things. Left the bodywork aside for now, started work on the frame. First clean the frame of all the brackets i don't need. Remove front crossmember to work on installing that C4 front conversion kit. Installed the tranny crossmember and brace the front of the frame to keep things from moving around and boxed the front frame rails. The C4 crossmember is just tacked in for now just to see if everything is lining up right. I'm going to set up a front fender to see how the wheel will look in the fender opening before i do the final welding.
