I found this 19569 GMC lcf. Pontiac v8, 4 speed, Power steering, hydrovac brakes. Bringing it home in September.

Mr Pops · 07-07-2013, 03:53 PM

Cool! That thing a monster! What do you have in mind for it?

Kim57 · 07-07-2013, 04:11 PM

Nice. All I ever find on camping trips are old diapers in the brush, beer tabs from the 60's and shiney rocks in the stream...

**buggy5872** · 07-07-2013, 04:46 PM

I am going to make a ramp truck out of it. The tag axle will go and i'll slide the axle up some. It's a when ever project. Right now we are packing up to move to a new house on 5 acres. Im going to build a 40x88 shop so this will just sit in the corner of that until I get to it. I need to finish up the NAPCO first. Oh I see I made a typo...its a 1956

Will it be another four door?

That thing is heavy duty, can't wait to see this one transformed. Is it running and drivable now?

Not sure if it runs but it has not been on the road for quite some time. Won't get to tinker with it until September.

Katrina/10 · 07-08-2013, 08:09 AM

Awesome truck, take all the pics you can. Would love to see the engine and underneath.

**Denee007** · 07-08-2013, 02:15 PM

The truck cab is beside it. The place was littered with old big trucks...and nothing is being scrapped.

1project2many · 07-08-2013, 04:47 PM

Is that a bread truck in the back? Cummins 4BT???

lmdangerous · 07-08-2013, 10:07 PM

**buggy5872** · 07-09-2013, 07:08 AM
