I took the chassis down to the paint shop and put the cab on. For the first time I finaly got to see the stance of what she going to look like. Here's some pics.

Holey CRAP Cal!!! That is the hottest thing I have ever seen!!!:clap: :c2: :cool:

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Thanks, dwcsr & Jebb! It was really cool to see it with the cab on it after 8 month of work and the cab off. He will have it for the week fiting doors and gaps then the cab comes back off and the block sanding starts and then paint in about two weeks.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

That is awsome buddy! You are making me want 20s!!! It looks so short and stubby with that low stance and those big ol wheels! Man all your hard work is really going to pay off!

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

sweeeeeeeeeet i love the stance that things got it looks great

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

how much clearance do you have from the rockers to the ground fully slammed?

Re: 58 GMC Project

HAHAHA, looks good! cant wait to take that thing to shows, makes me want to finally find and start my classic project

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Dude, what classic are you building?

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

I let all of the air out but I did not pay attention to how low the rockers were. I know the crossmember is about 3/4 of an inch from the ground when the air is all out.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Thanks Kabwe! It made my hart pump a few beats faster after I got the cab on. Wednesday He's going to have the front clip on and I am going to take a few more pic's and post them.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

I went back to the body shop today. They had all of the doors hung and the front clip on for checking the gaps. I let all of the air out of the front to see how see looked slammed. Here's the pics I took.

Re: 58 GMC Project

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Thanks! All I can say now is "I NEED PAINT!":cool:

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Nice truck! I wish my '55 Chevy was this far along :( .. I like where you put your battery as I definitely don't want mine on the firewall. I'm hoping to be able to do 2 of the long thin 5 gallon air tanks on the outside frame rails under the cab, seen it done before.

What size are your wheels and tires? They look good on it.

Oh and it should ride nice, my bagged 2000 rides real nice on air :cool:

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Thanks becubed. I wanted to put the air tank outside the rails but the inside step does not leave any room. The wheels are 20X10 rear and 18X8 up front. The tires in the rear are 235/35 20, I dont remember what the front are.
