About half way down the post here, http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/t...r-door.938756/
there is a picture of a blue engine. The plate is clearly visible right behind where the exhaust pipe would go. This is a 216/235 Babbit motor. The 53 powerglide motor doesn't have this plate.

Just got our set of barn doors on while we fix the clam shell. Might keep alternating between them.

72BigBlockBurb, rocks23,
Very nice trucks!
Wish mine was anywhere near those.
What plans are there?

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Mikesad50 I think I'm going to keep it simple for now. Sids 3" lowered front and blocks in the rear. White walls and red wheels with origional hub caps. Just going to keep it as origional as possible for now..

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

here is my 52 GMC 5 window , first time on the road in about 25 years , 7 years to get to here and maybe a couple more to finish

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

52 gmc, looks good, little more info on the build...Jim

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Ditto, good to see another gmc.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

got the truck from a friend in 07 ,he brought it from northern Manitoba did not look anything like this . the cab ,doors and hood are original box and fenders are new .Camaro rearend mustang front end with a 350 and a 700r .Need to finish the interior and get new wheels and box wood and then DRIVE

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Thanks for the compliment! I've been hoarding some of them for awhile until "timing was right"...which usually doesn't happen. With the new shop nearing completion...I think the time may be here!

The ex-army truck will eventually be a frame off full resto. It is too complete of a truck to do otherwise. I actually believe it probably only has the 50k on it as shown on the odometer. For now, plans are to get her running and enjoy the patina.

The panel...she gets a full restoration with a mind to driving and convenience. It runs and drives right now, but I'm not happy with everything on it and the folks that painted it prior to the past owner's purchase were not qualified to paint my dog's house. Haven't decided whether to do a crossmember or a frame swap. I'm not a welder, and don't want to learn on this truck...so I'm trying to find a good bolt in option.

The 72...other than rust issues, thanks to being left out by a previous owner, is on the bottom of the list...but will get rebuilt out of nothing more than sheer frustration to what happened to my baby while someone else had her.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Here are a couple pics of my 58 Fleetside........... I acquired the truck from a gentlemen who brought the truck to Canada from California several years ago. He drove it was a bit then decided to restore it to its original glory but never finished it. 49,000 original miles and has never seen snow or salt..........
Plans are an IFS in front, coil overs in the rear, an LS to push it around and new paint..............Will look great in the garage beside the '49.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Nice! Cool garage too.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Here's mine

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Looks great, I love the stance!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Thanks, its on a 02 S10 frame, dropped 4" in the rear, rear fenders are lowered 2" and have 2"ddropped spindals in front.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Wow, meanyellowz, that is a nice truck, looks sedate outside until the hood is open, how do you keep tires on it, they don't look very wide. I agree we need to see more of it.
