The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

First post.... my work in progress For now I call it "World truck". It has parts from:
Japan (Supra JZA80 IFS,IRS, Brakes etc)
Canada (Cab, box, etc)
Italy/Slovenia (Engine, torque tube, gearbox, most of the interior)
USA (wheels)
Jamaica (Engineering, Sweat, elbow grease)
Color, step and one piece windows are Photoshopped
I know the wheel is not centered in the wheel housing, has been corrected after this mockup.

Do you have any non-photoshopped photos?

Interesting project, can't wait to see more!

I do have lots of photos but they are more suited for a build thread as the truck is/was in pieces. These photos are from when i squished it back together to move, hence the bicycles etc in the bed. I have since changed the cab to a BBW , modified the firewall to accommodate the engine etc. I will start a build thread shortly (hopefully)

Just bought a 57 truck, running a 350 / 350 auto, Camaro front end etc, I bought it from a local guy here in Australia who said he bought it from the Pomona swap meet a few years ago. i'd love to track down the builder (yeah good luck with that, but you never know) to confirm what model front end was used etc etc. I'll be definately leaving the Patina and will just be tidying up the drivetrain
Cheers!

haha, the Rubber Duck (or as the younger ppl call it now the death proof duck) was on my boat, aptly called "the Rubber Duck" but i decided it'd look good on the truck. It took alot for me to drill two holes into a rust free 58 year old bonnet (ok ok the hood) but i love the look
