Re: "Overhaulin" 52 gmc project

I agree with most of the feedback. They raised the bed 4 inches and the rear bumper doesn't look like a good fit. It was for a nomad. I'm guessing 56 or 57. I think they mounted both bumpers upside down. Seems like it took 3 1955 grills to construct the grill for this truck, probably lots of waste. Wouldn't work for my 51 chevy truck because of the contours of the grill, hood, etc. I love the way the fenders look and if nothing else I will investigate the posibility of doing that to my truck. Again I think it may be impossible using a stock grill but it's just some food for thought.

Anyway you slice it Chip Foose is a phenominal designer and builder. We all have differing tastes in what we like, but everyone can find something to like about all his projects.
