Hang in there man. For me the wait is worth it but it's all the other things I could have gotten done on the truck while it sits.
Ugg!

Got it back today, it had been at the body shop about 10 months.
It's a 67 Impala color Sierra Fawn Poly

screen grab

He's a 1 man shop out in the country who overbooked himself.
Nice guy, wouldn't take any money until completed.
Wasn't sure how much he was going to charge, ended up being about half of what I expected.

Not perfect but looks pretty good to me for a driver.

Now, to get it put back together.

Sweet!!!!!!!!!

It's looking great! Did you get the grill top-bar painted? I couldn't tell from the pics.

Thanks for the kind words
Yes he painted the top bar
It was fun putting the rivets in the grille

I'm not sure the truck rally's are going to stay,

I was hoping the guy that makes the clips to put the 67 vette style center on these rims would make another batch, but its been over a year since he made the last clips.

Had a set of bucket seats freshly upholstered in black that came with another car I had bought, I believe they were out of a later tahoe, but the backs are too thick and put me right up on the steering wheel, so the stock seat is getting redone

That chrome 67 grille really looks sharp on the front of that truck. Well done

**raggedjim** · 07-20-2021, 11:10 PM

Nice, the 67 GMC's are one of my favorites.

buds56 · 08-21-2021, 08:51 PM

Some progress, still a ways to go.

Waiting on the seat, wiring issues, mostly lights, one leaf is weak in the rear and a bunch of little stuff

**HO455** · 08-22-2021, 10:26 AM

That shor is a pretty truck!

**dagnabbitt** · 08-23-2021, 09:57 AM

Very nice work, unique color choice, I like it.

lunatic1968 · 08-23-2021, 02:51 PM

Beautiful truck !!

buds56 · 11-20-2021, 08:48 PM

Just about finished, Got the seat back from upholstery shop.

Still need to get it aligned, and stop a dipstick seal leak on the trans.
Also I would like to fix and paint the original steering wheel

Need to get another new rear bumper, the one I bought has a pretty good bow
in it ( high in the center and lower on each end) like it was banded too tight when shipped,

And to be honest I've had it a long time and don't remember where I bought it
