These pics aren't my truck. It was for sale locally awhile ago and I was so taken by it I kept the pictures. Now I wish I'd built my truck more like this than the Corvette IFS, over-the-top LS engine, etc route I took. Oh well, I'll just have to build another one!!:lol: |

Dan, that truck is so perfect in my opinion, a daily driver for sure! What a great way to get to work.

Colour is not stock, but other wise it's a pretty stock 1959 GMC.
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1151660558 Canadian truck, so a 235 I6, with 3 on the tree. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1151660558 I found a factory Sun tach for the dash and eventually had modern electronic guts installed in the tach to make it work. Deluxe heater and electric wipers too! http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1151660558 |

Here's my mostly original 54 3100.
I picked it up in Wisconsin a couple of years ago. Someone had painted it an awful gold color. I could see from the engine bay that the original color of the truck was Juniper Green. I started sanding the gold paint and red primer lightly and was surprised to see that if I finessed it with 320 to 1000 grit wet sandpaper that I could get down to the last two layers of green on the truck. It took me about 3 weeks. Surprisingly the old paint had held up and there wasn't any rust or rot under all the gold...no body filler either. Not sure why someone painted it that color. The chrome grill was painted gold. I have it running and stopping and looking pretty good for now. Enjoying the Hell out of it. 3 on the tree and still has the original engine and drive-train. I think the green is much more period correct. Here's some before and after shots. I'm not trying to fake patina...just bringing the patina out from under 3 layers of paint and primer. |
Re: 47-59 Original and Close to Stock Pics
HOLY COW what passion you have! I have done that before (sanded off crap paint) and it's a LOT of very tedious work.
You did a heck of a job! Brian |
Re: 47-59 Original and Close to Stock Pics
We love the new patina.
|
Re: 47-59 Original and Close to Stock Pics
Thanks Pat

Re: 47-59 Original and Close to Stock Pics
Thanks Brian...I'm usually not that focused to do such a thing but it was cool seeing what was underneath. Every inch was a new paint job.

I'm the 2nd owner of this 49 3100. I bought it from the heirs of the original owner whom I knew. It was parked in 69 and sat in a barn until I bought it 5 yrs ago. It's still 6v, mostly stock and still running the original 216 with a rebuilt head. I've added turn sigs, the chrome grill, chrome bumpers, reupholstered bench seat and door panels, some tongue and groove paneling for the bed and radial tires. I drive it every weekend.
