Hi all, new to the site. Recently got my '58 GMC as a daily driver. Needs some work, but runs good, with S/B 350, auto trans, PS, front disc brakes. Would like A/C (old man syndrome). Needs new rubber and window work too. Probably will leave the dents for now. Enjoy reading all the posts!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Well I got me a 58... not real bad shape for around here, was on the car hauler for 5 years no lie!!!
Got it home and had it running the next day (350 and auto tranny) driving now just around the house :metal: enjoy

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Your '56 in the background?

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

I bet you got a Good deal for it man

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

I would like to clip it, link it, and bag it, but at this time im low on cash after my camaro build and will have to save up..

the 56 is my sister's 4door hardtop...

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Well the truck had new tires, brake lines, master cylinder, king pin stuff, 350 motor and 350 tranny.. not must rust on cab and bed..

I may have paid to much for it but been wanting a fleetside for some time now so i gave 2k for it. In my parts you dont see fleetside's much.. or old trucks at all

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

OK fellas, here's the only pix so far from the grain truck 454 swap...actually just the 2-ton on a 16-ft flatbed towed 120 miles with our ol' '88 1-ton (and the good grace of the Lord for not killing anyone in the process!). Got ny universal engine mount from Summit. Just need to strip the donor RV's drivetrain and start the fab. Can't wait. More as progress occurs. Anyone near Austin bored? Help always enjoyed & reciprocated. Sorry for the crooked pix...not sure yet how to properly post 'em.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Heavy duty Dolly ya got there! How did that tow like that? Any turning issues?

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Hey Jeremy,

Not a rig I'd suggest anyone attempting. Necessity is a mother as they say. Wiiiide turns only...max safe(?) speed 50 mph. Trailer brakes mighta been nice. Would have hated to pay a tow truck for the 120 mi trip--though would likely go that route next time. Harrowing drive, for real.
:devil:

47,wow you got balls man, reminds me of my tow dolly days in snow storms. this is awesome pure dedication. love the truck.
