Re: "Overhaulin" 52 gmc project

My honest opinion is there is a lot of stuff on that truck that is not my taste and yet it is INCREDIBLY well executed. I'd be thrilled to death to have it. Talk about some fabrication chops! Looks like Kabwe did it! Kab's right, those are '55 bumpers and signals. It really looks like the tailgate bottom edge would bang on the rear bumper guards. Precision fit, huh?! Why do you suppose the rear wheel tubs hover over the bed wood rather than the bed wood contouring around the tubs?

Anyone beside me notice the little avatar in the lower left of the link for the new GMC Sierra? That color is Greystone metallic. I know because I have an 08 Chevy Crew dually 4x4 in that color. I noticed the intake manifold and the power steering pump on the 52 are nearly the same color. I think it looks great and gives me a nice idea for the intake on my upcoming Krylon rebuild on my 350 (ha ha).

P.S. to Kabwe, what's the latest on your build man? Enquiring (nosy ass!) so-called minds want to know!
