If you look near the beginning of this thread Cal bought it with the 55 clip front end already on.

btw you got my vote when the time comes.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Yea that looks just about right:rolleyes:

I know when I first started looking for a truck it had to be a 55-57. When I got the 59 I first started looking at the possibility of changing the front clip. Now I'm totally happy with the look of a 59 chevy front end.
Yeh 4 lighters.............

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Thanks Flatebedchevy! Brain is right, when I bought the truck it had the 55 Chevy clip on it already. I agree with 55chevyPU, I also like the 55-56 clip the best. Not to say 57, 58 & 59 are ugly, I just like the grill on the 55-56 better, it reminds me of the 55 Chevy car's grill witch is my favorite of the Tri-Five Chevy’s.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

I LOVE THIS PHOTO!!:lol: :lol: :lol: I'll never look at the 57 the same way again!

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

I also agree with 55-56 having nice grills. I thought about changing it to match my 55 Chevy car, but after going to many truck shows I decide to stay true to the 58 because everybody seems to have a 55-56 truck. So the double headlights are in my future. I use to think the 58-59 grill was super ugly but now I starting to see the light (4 of them). I must admit I like the 57 grill the best because its different (looks like a fish mouth to me) but I don't care for the 57 hood. Now a 57 grill with a 55-56 hood (love the smooth hood) thats a thought.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

I have an Idea that I'm working on that might look good, let's say it's the 55 grill with parts of a mid to late 50s car grill. Once finished I'll post pictures. :)

I got the bed on yesterday. I still need to put the steps on and the wood in the bed. The hood and tailgate is to be painted this week. Here's some pictures.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Looks good Cal. How did you end up doing the wood?
Is it oak? Light or dark?

Brian ...:cool:

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Hey Brian,

I did use oak. It's a light color. I still need to put more vanish on it.
