1950's Buddy L GMC Restoration

I purchased this 1950’s Buddy L GMC Army Transport truck online for $55. As you can tell from the before photos it needed a lot of work, especially on the roof. It looked like someone dropped something heavy on it or hit it with a hammer. I had never done body work before and I thought this project would be a good way to learn. I was quite pleased with the end result considering it was my first try and I learned a lot during the process. I hope you enjoyed watching and look forward to more interesting and unique restorations to come.
