I might have one laying around and I also live in washingtion I have 58 gmc complete as well and just replaced the grill should have the old one laying around still

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Wow, that is great, did you find a reproduction grill? where do U live? I am in Graham, Near Puyallup

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

I live in monroe I didn't want a reproduction I like to keep things all original. I like the fun trying to hunt for the parts and cleaning them up and putting them back to use and with the hat grill I was a pain to find.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

I do too, when ever possible, I find the original parts fit better, are made from better materials and are often cheaper, Cheaper is also very good, I sent you a PM maybe you didn't find it, I would like to buy that section of Grill from you, have you seen any Bumper overriders? do U have any Badges? Mine is a V8 truck with the Pontiac Motor, would like to find the V8 badges too. And the Tach, I saw a beautiful Tach on eBay but no drive for it, and my speedometer is faded to the point it can't be read any more.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

This is my 1949 Chevy truck project.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

My pretty much daily driver 51, 3600. Original, not rebuilt 216 (yep, 85hp baby) with a WC T5, .72 5th gear and 4.10 rear gears. Huck brakes refreshed and modern 16" tires now.

Drove it from central Arkansas to Luckenbach Tx about a month ago, 1.300 miles. The trip's excuse was to see the bluebonnets, but fact is the beer and music at Luckenbach was the real reason, just don't tell the wife. Round trip was 1,300 miles and luckly no problems, just a nice enjoyable back road drive.

Wow, she's a beauty Ron. But you'd better call yourself something other than "Moparguy" if youre driving a plus sized beauty like she is.

May I suggest (Oh no, here it comes!) adding ribbed beauty rings and repop chrome dog dish caps to those rims? Then she'll REALLY be a prom queen. Yeah, a BIG prom queen but a knockout. Think of her as Ashley Graham - not a bad thing at all!:lol:

What is your Cruising speed in that Truck Ron?

Ross

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

My current project

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Dan, thanks for the compliment, the Moparguy handle comes from another of my vices, the 340 Duster I've had for 46 years is shown below. But...the 51 is photobombing the Duster. And I do agree with your wheel suggestions, a couple weeks ago I did attach hub cap clips (from Chevy's of the 40's) on one wheel. Unfortunately they're too short and I'll need to MacGyver up some 1/2" spacers.

Ross, I've just (last week) installed the 4.10s, replacing the stock 4.57 gears we had on the Luckenbach trip. On that drive, happy cruise was 55 mph. Now with the 4.10s and local two lane driving, it's looking like 60 to 65 is going to be very OK.

I've got a minor but annoying vibration that occurs at about 62mph, this is a bit of a speed limiter. Brakes are another.

If you're asking due to considering a T5, my suggestion is do your due diligence, find a transmission with a .72od and go for it....you'll like it.

post 2988 looks like there has been some "special considerations" and time spent getting the steering column to fit past the headers. nice clean looking unit though.
