1947 GMC grain truck turned hot rod build
 

finally decided to get after building my 1947 gmc :metal:

- posting in here because it seems to be a carry over 1946 body from a grain truck so it doesn't look like the 1947 chevys

how she is currently sitting.

cab is sitting on tacked on body mounts.

front end is propped in place, but i like the placement of the body, so now to pull the body back off, and weld in the cab mounts and make some core support mounts

Cool project

Re: 1947 GMC grain truck turned hot rod build
 

That is coming along pretty nice. When I lived in Texas my best friend had a 41 1/2 ton that he put a 396 4 speed and rear end out of his 69 Chevelle that had been trough some rough times body wise in and made a nice driving hot rod pickup.

1 ton,
Thanks for doing this build. The cool thing to me about older vehicles s the fact that you don't see many of them any more. 41-46 Chevy pickups are never seen any more.
