Nice ride.....Jim

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

I really like this truck. Thats the type of look I want to achieve. The wheel size and stance is perfect. Please give me some detail on the wheel/tire size, your suspension, and what kind of drive train you have in there. Oh and some more pictures. :)

Thanks
Greg

The truck has a 350sbc, 700r4 trans, ten bolt 3:38 rear, HEI ignition, Vintage Air, Mustang II power steering, power disc brakes, elec windows, GPS, GPS speedometer, satellite radio, American Racing wheels 275r15x70 rear ww, 245r15x70 front ww, monte carlo front clip. I bought it out of St Louis in '09. The engine and the front clip was in it when I bought it. It needed to be cleaned up and I tweaked it to what I like. I installed the OD trans, ac, wheels, tires etc.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

I love that truck. Def glad to see a GMC with an inline and slammed. A similar route I been wanting to go. I love the patina and the elegance of that engine.
So is she running now, or just moched up?

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

That is completed . running driving enjoying . ecept it is winter here and it is stored

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

great, that is awesome. So what is your re end and gear ratio? what mpg are you getting with your drive train? Lastly how is that 4 link?

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

It is a Camaro rear disc set up with 373 gears . 200R4 . Not sure of mileage yet but with a 4 speed auto and a single barrel carb I am hoping very good . the 4 link works great . No issues .
Thanks .

Any of you guys have an opium on putting big billets on my 51 ? Love the WW but bagged trucks with big rims look awesome .

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

I like big billet rims but with the look of your truck I think that the wide whites and painted rims look right at home. I say don't mess with a good thing.

Just my two cents

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

I know what you mean about winter....I only put 150 miles on my truck this summer after the long 10 yr build. I keep going out in the garage to hang out with it....ha ha. I still need to finish my interior so that's my excuse.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Oh boy...i love your truck...looks so awesome!! Well done Marc.

Greetings from Germany (near Stuttgart :-) , Robin.

PS: ...Happy X-Mas to all of you...

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

they give the illusion that the tires are narrower than they really are.Also if the stance and the wheel centers are off they will look farther than it really is. If you aren't carefull it will look like a big hot wheels.


on the other hand when done well {look at youngrodder's} the lack of over polished parts dosen't draw your eye away from the rest of the truck.

Just my $0.02

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Check ebay.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

How would you search that part / Not much experience with that .
Thanks again .

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Found it on LMC. You could fake patina it I guess. http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/ca/full.aspx?Page=20

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

thank You , looks like that is the only way . GMC apron is much harder to find than chevy . thanks very much .

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

to search on ebay, just type in the year and make, like 1951 GMC truck. If that is not the only year, use a range like 1951-1954
