The truck has a 350sbc, 700r4 trans, ten bolt 3:38 rear, HEI ignition, Vintage Air, Mustang II power steering, power disc brakes, elec windows, GPS, GPS speedometer, satellite radio, American Racing wheels 275r15x70 rear ww, 245r15x70 front ww, monte carlo front clip. I bought it out of St Louis in '09. The engine and the front clip was in it when I bought it. It needed to be cleaned up and I tweaked it to what I like. I installed the OD trans, ac, wheels, tires etc.

SWEET.

What color is the engine, looks to be a burnt red, but maybe its just the picture? Gota closeup?

Big Irish · 12-21-2011, 04:50 PM

The engine color is C6 Corvette burnt orange metalic ,

I love that truck. Def glad to see a GMC with an inline and slammed. A similar route I been wanting to go. I love the patina and the elegance of that engine.
So is she running now, or just moched up?

bigjimwiebe · 03-01-2012, 02:28 PM

Hi Big Irish. Love what you've done with your truck. I am putting a GMC 302 in my 52 GMC and am very curious what all you did to your frame and suspension. My truck is in a million pieces, but I'm starting with the frame and would love to have a rolling chassis that looks just like yours. Any advice or details you can give me would be awesome! I only live about 2 hours from Toronto. Thanks.

makes it easy to clean your driverway, just pullout and sweep it off.

It does take up a lot of real estate.

**youngrodder** · 01-23-2012, 10:48 PM

Wow ...I love that truck. That shade of (silvery) blue is one of my all time favorite colors. I can see why you would miss it.. How long was the built time on that one?

Marc

1958 burban · 01-23-2012, 10:58 PM

Thanks, because of my age and lack of funds, It took me about 6 years, And when I sold it , it still needed a bed floor. I think when the burban is done Im going to build its clone. ?????

**youngrodder** · 01-23-2012, 11:26 PM

6yrs are nothing...Mine took over 10. Before kids I had a lot more time and money. The project slowed and money dried up when the kids arrived. I wouldnt have it any other way.

Good call on building a clone. You do nice work.
Marc

1958 burban · 01-23-2012, 11:38 PM

Thanks you do too. My wife is due in June with our first, hope to get suburban rolling and at least running by then....

**youngrodder** · 01-24-2012, 12:13 AM

Congratulations and good luck on both getting the burb finished up and more importantly the birth of your first child. The funny thing is since my family (2 boys and a wife) out grew my truck I'm thinking of a 47-53 burb as my next project.
