1976 GMC K15 High Sierra Stepside
« on: July 07, 2017, 02:51:25 PM »
Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and I thought I would share some pictures of my new project.  It has a 350/465/205 combo and was a Southwestern truck it's entire life.  Other than a couple dents and dings, it is very straight and 99% rust free.  I plan to "imitate" a 1976 Chevrolet Sport truck look , even though it's a GMC.  As I begin to work on it I will certainly be referring back to this forum for help.

Nice truck!  Welcome to the Forum from Central California!

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

Why not mimic the GMC Street Coupe and keep it true to form?

Hello everyone, I apologize for not regularly updating this thread with pictures of my progress over the past year, between work, school and sports I have been quite busy.  However, I have been taking many, many pictures of my progress and uploading them to a Google Photos album.  Since last year, I have named the truck "Lucy" and have made significant progress in the restoration procedure.  I am nearly finished prepping my bed components, and have plans to get the remainder of the bed painted and finished by this time next week. :D If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask!

Thank You for reading!
