Junior,
That looks great. What are you running for a suspension? It looks lower than stock. What is that awesome steering wheel out of? And where did you score that cover for the tread of the spare tire?

99 to Life · 11-09-2013, 11:31 PM

yeah the truckita looks sick. only thing its missing is skirts!

tbrown5079 · 11-11-2013, 10:18 AM

Should I paint it or drive it?

ratty 46 · 11-11-2013, 12:30 PM

If it steers, brakes & moves forward I'd drive the sh@t out of it!! Paint can always come later.

If it is safe to drive drive it!

Drive it like you stole it!! lol

Root2812 · 11-11-2013, 11:08 PM

You've come this far and its looking nice and straight. I say lay some paint on it. Winter is close so you will have a few months to do all the prep work and get the color on there before the nice driving season comes. If you are willing to do the work don't put it off.

tbrown5079 · 11-12-2013, 11:43 AM

I'm just trying to solve all the problems and make everything fit so I don't have to make too many changes.
Does anyone know where to get side mirrors like the ones in the old Lokar add on the black 57? I've seen them on other trucks, like the one of Roger Shelines 58 apache in custom classic trucks.
I want something big enough that I can see in traffic without too much trouble.

FirstNation · 11-13-2013, 09:51 AM

1957 GMC Suburban Carryall, former North Dakota forestry truck. All original paint.

ratty 46 · 11-13-2013, 10:09 AM

WOW - great score. That's gotta B a rare unit these days. Looks to be in decent shape too.

sqrlnts · 11-17-2013, 01:07 AM

Some trucks from Goodguys on Friday. You can see my whole album here if you wish.

**oldman3** · 11-17-2013, 01:21 AM

solidaxel · 11-17-2013, 01:33 AM

lowdownstar · 11-17-2013, 08:07 AM

solidaxel · 11-17-2013, 09:01 AM

Sqrints, do you have or know anything about the 47 "Lumber Co" truck?
I have many questions I would like to ask him, as we have pulled the trigger on that "sister truck".....same color and patina with a Ls 5.3

The guys name might be Green Hayden. I did not get a chance to talk to him, sorry.

That gas station in Reliance TN is one of my favorite stops. Inside its like going back in time, I usually get a chunk of Amish cheese and a coke and eat it out front on the bench.

Task Force Era · 11-21-2013, 10:46 PM

My goals for the winter. 1. Figure out who owns this truck before it becomes one with the trees. 2. Talk the owner out of it for cheap. 3. Drag it home since it's literally ONE mile down at the other end of my road!!.. Oh yeah and 4. Get my Apache on the road or close to it, haha!

lowdownstar · 11-21-2013, 11:05 PM

good luck my friend i hope for you it happens!

Ray

99 to Life · 11-22-2013, 02:23 PM

I was actually gonna post a pic of the bel-air and say drag that home too but I couldn't find the pic I took of it!... Would be nice to get a good two for one deal on both of them!

**youngrodder** · 11-23-2013, 09:10 PM

My next project...a 53 Suburban.

Thanks
Marc

ratty 46 · 11-23-2013, 09:28 PM

Hey Marc ... if it turns out 1/2 as well as the green machine you'll have 1 trick ride. Or two in this case!

Good luck. Nice start.
