I was on here a lot 9 or so years ago but forgot my user name and had to re-register...:( I have a '69 K10 GMC in 90% original condition. Bought a lot of parts from Teeitup back then and made a few runs to Kansas...:) I may drive it to the All GM show/swap at the Fairgrounds June 10th. I will be getting a carb kit and complete ignition tune up parts from NAPA this afternoon and plan to drive it to No. St. Paul this Friday evening...:metal: I'm also in the Northstar Camaro Club and we have an All Chevy Show at Stillwater Motors on June 30th. Everyone in the area is welcome to bring their Chevy trucks out for the day. I may have this far enough along to bring my '67 Camaro on the bed...:D

Hot Rod Tod, I am about to buy wheels and tires. Thought I had my mind made up and was getting a painted look, then I saw your chrome wheels. Can you tell me where they are from? The size? Are they reverse mount? And what size are the tires and who are they by? Also what did you do to your truck? Lowered?
LOVE!! your truck!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Just bought this in October. I just got tags and insurance on it and started toying with it the past 2 weeks. Its a 3200 long long bed with the inline 6. Pics and video are from right before I ran to bank to get cash. Paid 3 grand, did I do ok? The phone camera made the paint look way better than it is and the rust on the floorboards is actually just dirt. Old owner says his father restored it in the 80's but he was not a body man. Had my paint guy take a look and he said there's no filler, but the patch jobs needs to be sanded or redone. The transmission in the bed is the original. They replaced it with a 3 speed. The seats are from a Lincoln.

I have already put the original gauges back in just to find out the speedometer cable will not attach.

I wanted to convert it to a shortbed, but friends are saying they never see a long bed so I should leave it alone. I think I may, cause it fits my ATV and a toolbox and I can still close the gate! This will be a daily driver with a 2006 Vortec 6.0 with 7k miles on it.

Welcome from So Az

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Very nice 51' and welcome. What are the specs? OG frame or s-10? static drop, bags? inline or v-8?

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

It's a deluxe cab on OG frame with mustang II and 4link on bags.
Running a 250 I6 with 350 trans.

Any thoughts on if I should put a 350 in it?

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

If you want more power, sure. You already have the trans to handle it and the rear should be strong enough for a few more pounds of torque...;)

Nice truck...:)

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Tried to send you a PM but didnt have the option.

What size tires are those? Im guessing they are on a 15x7 wheel? They look perfect! Are the whitewalls 2 3/4 or 3"

Thanks!!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

I'd def leave the inline in it. You could always put dual carbs on it to give it some more pep. This truck has some class, I'd leave it. So did you have to cut the input shaft on the trans? What rear end did you use?

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

The tires are Denman Classic IV. They have a 3 1/4 WW.
I'm not sure if they are still available. I heard that the company may have gone out of business.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Those tires do look great. What is the size of the tire though? Even if those ones are discontinued someone will make one in that size.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

AWESOME truck! Love it! :metal:

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

I have one of these, but thought it wouldn't do much. Would the gain with duals be worth it. Seems like it would be more for looks than anything.

Yup, those tires are pretty scarce. The thicker ww's look great though.

Thanks for the info!!
