Re: "Tangerene Dream" then "Ella" and now?

The big trucks have the back corner of the hood coming down to a point like you see on this truck


1/2 though 1 ton have hoods like this:

The difference is pretty obvious when you try to put a big truck hood on a 1/2 ton


If your GMC is a big truck and the nose is really nice I'd think about hanging a later C-10 frame under it rather than an S-10 as the fenders are wider and should fit the C-10 tread width. You would have to widen the rear fenders or widen the box but either could be done. It's something to think about.

My ongoing truck projects:
48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
