Made a new transmission crossmember today for more exhaust clearance

Loving this build. Have you done all the paint work yourself? If so, what paint and gun are you using? Really like that color, can't wait to see more of this!

No, we had a guy we know come paint it in our garage. I don't know a thing about painting or the equipment so can't help ya there. The paint looks great in real.

I've been all about Ford vehicles since I started driving, but I have to admit the old Chevys are gorgeous... Keep up the hard work, the truck is looking awesome. I'll be watching this thread!

Those are some great looking pictures and I'm real happy to see that engine sitting between the rails.

Been gone for awhile but back at it now. Today I put some sound mat in the cab, I used a combination of some super cheap stuff from home depot and dynamat style stuff with adhesive on the one side for the firewall and back of the cab. I ran out thats why part of the floor isnt done.

Got the trans crossmember finished and installed, to my surprise it fit and all the holes lined up.



Lots of clearance for exhaust now



Test fit the seats which are out of a 2008 silverado. It was alot of work to make them fit properly.

I would have chosen a different seat, but that doesn't really matter because this truck is awesome.

Thanks, I got them for free so I can't complain. They are so much more comfortable than the bench seat and this will be a daily driver so thats important to me. But I actually was thinking of taking out the head rests which I think would make them look better.

Just found this thread, and the work here is awesome. Glad to see an old GMC getting some love.

I think that the headrest sets it apart from most custom classic trucks, it's something you don't really see on restomods. Plus, you won't crack your skull on your back window if you get rear ended.

this is an amazing square body build.
