Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

That truck of 50Bow-tied GMC is bad-ass!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Thanks guys. Its going to be a while til I can really get to work on it but it was too good a deal to pass up. Sgtusmc, I'll let you know if I find where it says that it sohuld be given to you. :lol:

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

is that a photochop or is the wheelbase really that tiny? i see that thing and think Wheelie Monster!!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Thanks guys, Yes the wheel base is that short only 6 feet long it was a mobile home toter. I tell ya you hade to be a real man to drive this across 3 states at 50 MPH (top speed)

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

I'd drive it that way as a DD

Can I play? Can I play?

"All of the other reindeer....uh....er....truckers, used to laugh and call him names..."

Mine's a '46 but can we call it an early '47 if it lets me stick around?

350/350, Jag rear end. Four wheel power discs, power rack & pinion. Newly rewired. More to come I hope.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Dan, that thing is waaaaay too cool!!!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Thank you Brad for the nice comment.

I got it in August but sent it out for rewiring which took forever. Put a new fuse panel and wired from EZ Wiring, all new gauges, the lights are actually bright, the signals work, emergency flashers (!) and stuff like a real truck, ha ha ha!

I;ve got lots to do on it, but I tell myself, "I'm pacing myself". I plan on posting here until I get tossed for being a non '47-'59.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Here's my '59 Spartan 100 with the original 348.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

an I'm glad that you stuck around! :metal: You'r the beginning to pre '47. Awesome truck.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Dan the 41-46 are really cool trucks, my next build will be one of those. i am actually helping a friend build his 1940. maybe the mods can set up a 41-46 category. stovebolt is the only board I know of for those. stick around anyway, nice truck

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

nice 46 i dont think amyone will mind if you stick around:metal:

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Thanks guys, I hope you're right about me not getting asked not to post. I've posted some pictures before and no one said anything. From the PM's I've gotten every time I post, there is some interest here.

Stovebolt is a nice website but it doesn't allow you to post photos directly so I don't care for it nearly as much as this site. Plus, you guys are more active; there's always someone doing something and you're always very friendly. I don't read guys flaming others because there taste is different - VERY refreshing over a lot of other boards. Hey, we're all car guys. We'd probably get to be friends if we lived down the street from each other.

Here's a few additional pictures of my truck at my own home. Its home now after having been flatbedded to be rewired (on its own power too,...about 15-16 miles, runs great, no issues...except I lost one of my '52 hubcaps grrrr!) Anyone have a spare '52 Chevy car hubcap they wanna sell?

I just bought coolant & flush, oil & filter, and found someone who gave me the metal strips I was missing to install the windlace around the door openings. Running the risk of being banned, I'll post a separate thread with picture of this and of my rewiring later. Thanks for the kind words guys. Keep the advice coming, I can use the encouragement. Dan

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

love that truck:metal:just had o sell my 59 for another truck, but loved every minute i owned it,which was no to long ,but i will get another :devil:

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

ssons, That truck looks cool. Do you have a clearer shot of those rims? Were they Torque Thrusts?

My dad drove me around in his '59 long bed fleetside the whole time I was a kid. He swapped in a 283 for the straight six, and later a 348. It was a screamer too.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

I guess i never realized I hadn't put mind up yet.

To say that it is a work in progress is an understatement!!

Hope all you guys will hang around for about 10 years until she's done!!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Can't believe I haven't added mine yet. I've had it for a couple of months now. Working on a total rewire. Will be lowering it with a dropped axle and rear flip pretty soon.

Not much to look at now, but it will be soon.:ito:

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Here's my '51/'52. Have my new BOSS 338 wheels but not yet mounted to add on there.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Here's my 58 burb I found a few months ago. Cant seem to find anyone who makes 1/4's for it, hoping I dont have to use fleetside panels. The tow vehicle is my 02 with 2/3 drop.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Dinos63, How did you go about the smooth front bumper, I LIKE!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

I don't know how dino did it, but I've seen other guys do the same. You weld the bumper bolts on the back side of the bumper and then grind the round heads off smooth on the front.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

found this pic from a road trip from a bunch of years back driving through saskatchewan. Man, I love these GMC front ends..

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
