Sam's 1960 GMC build.
 

Hey guys, just was looking at some threads on here and thought I should start a build up thread to show my progress on my 60 GMC Here are just a few pics of what I have on my computer right now. As it sits in the drive way right now its in primer. The truck has a very strong running 305 V6. I'm working on building a small block for the truck. The pic of it on the trailer is the day I brought it home. Let me know what you think guys I'm alway open to ideas/ input.

Re: my build thread

You ever thought about keeping the OG engine ?? Although, a small block woud be cool too !!

Keep us posted man.....


:metal:

Re: my build thread

Re: my build thread
 

Looks like a good starting point, Welcome aboard, if your not addicted yet you will be.

Re: my build thread
 

Welcome!

Re: my build thread
 

Welcome! Obviously, from the pics, you're a GMC man!

Re: my build thread
 

Welcome aboard! Glad to see another '60 GMC owner.:metal: How come you got rid of the nostril hood? The '60 and '61 GMC hoods are getting harder and harder to come by.....Sweet truck though.

Re: my build thread
 

nice truck! Those early gauge clusters are too cool.

Re: my build thread
 

C'mon now, keep the V-6!;)
That's a good looking ride, keep us posted with lots of pics.

Re: my build thread
 

Sweet hood latch! :lol:

Re: my build thread
 

Welcome to the board :D

Re: my build thread
 

haha thanks man. ive got a real hood latch on it now. pics up soon! boo rain!!

Re: my build thread
 

i know i really like them. if i do decide to put my small block in there i will build a cluster to fit in the glove box facing the driver so it looks all og in there at first glance.

Re: my build thread
 

i am a gmc man haha! professional grade!

Re: my build thread
 

thanks man. yeah i wasnt really to into the stock hood. and i picked up that chevy hood for a sweet deal so decided to throw it on.

Re: my build thread
 

Ya gotta love it when a LMC truck box comes in the mail :D

Re: my build thread
 

Well if you still have the hood, I might be interested in it....I also am waiting for an LMC box in the mail this week, for my '80 though.;)

Re: my build thread
 

Cort, I guess you might get that hood,
I see a box of Chevy lights:lol::lol:

Nice rig Sam. and welcome from West Tn..

Re: my build thread
 

Nice!

Howdy from Texas!

Re: my build thread
 

Cool truck, and :welcoem: from AZ. Ive seen a couple trucks with the early hood that looked good, but I have to say the later one is an improvement.

Re: my build thread
 

GMC? RAKE? Cool stuff, thanks for sharing! Don't worry.... I have a chevy hood on mine too ;)

Re: my build thread
 

so the mail came today and i got my new 4'' peep mirrors. and i got some screws for the turn signal bezels and for the headlight bezels. pretty exciting. the front of my truck looks complete now!! pics up tomorrow.
starter took a crap so i had to pull that. i figured out i get most of my work done in the middle of the night seeing as i just pulled the starter at 10 20 haha!

Re: my build thread
 

i got rid of the hood a while ago. sorry

Re: my build thread
 

as of today...
