Poncho
 

So I get a call from this kat Joe from out in Phoenix, he's good buddies with Sam from out there ( Angelo and The 65 trucks.). He's got an eye for the rare and clean ones, tells me he has been checkin out a ultra rare 57 GMC with the Pontiac 347 and Hyrdomatic. This thing is full load with all the goodies GM offered back in the day. It's missing a bed and its a long chassis but never fear, we have a plan. Joe syas he wans to lay it out, keep the Pontiac/Hyrdo, stick a tri power on it and keep her old school.
So sticking with my theme and seeing as Pontiac guys refer to their rides as Ponchos I figured it was a great fit to what is going to be a baaaad slammed olo school pick up. I give you Poncho.

Re: Poncho
 

I'm in on this one, I see what looks like a step side tail gate on the back frame rail, Do you have a bed for it?

Re: Poncho
 

Ya this guy is Looooooaded.

Re: Poncho
 

:lol:"TIME AND UNLIMITED BUDGET" Do you know something I don't?

Re: Poncho
 

Man you kick these things out faster than I can read through the last one you finished. Keep up the good work. Totally dig your style and vision.

Re: Poncho
 

I am in too, love your builds. Are you going to make the front opening in the GMC hood functional to the tri-power setup, sort of old school ram air?

Re: Poncho
 

Thanks man, I'm keen on those Napco's too. My wife wants me to convert my 59 GMC for her.

As far as the hood goes it will be up to big Joe, he has the eye for detail like no other and will be hands on for much of the end result. Looove that hood though.

Re: Poncho
 

Awesome.
Im scribed.

Re: Poncho
 

Oooh, FINALLY getting in early on a good one.

Man, if I ever hit the Lotto you're gonna hear from me, ha ha ha.

(Making popcorn and sitting back for the show now).

Re: Poncho
 

OK so here is the challenge for big Joe. Make the hood opening functional so that during 1 carb operation it looks stock but when the other two kick in the GMC flips out of the way like the Chevelle LS hood did for full air flow! I believe the Chevelles were vacuum operated.

Re: Poncho
 

Ha ha, pretty ambitious with other guy's money, huh?! Ok, I'm on board. It'd be very cool for something like that to work. I'd love to see it!

If I knew where to lurk I'd be lurking there too as I'm nearby.

Re: Poncho
 

I was just in Burbank for 2 weeks, wish I would have been lurking!!!

Re: Poncho
 

That sounds great I was thinking along the same lines of a functional vent when I purchased it. Unfortunately we are on a tight schedule right now but will consider it on Phase 2. Need to get this bad boy dialed in first!

Re: Poncho
 

Very cool! :metal: Can't wait to see the transformation.

Delmo must have a bunch of little truck building gnomes, that only come out at night.

Re: Poncho
 

Nice dude can't wait to see this thing!
