Thanks Breader! Take your time and plan your build and I'm sure you 59 will turn out nice. Make sure once you start your build to start a project thread and shear it with us.

jjjmm56 · 08-20-2009, 07:46 PM

Whenever I get overwhelmed about how much work I have left to do on my 56 I look up your post, it seems to recharge my batteries. Instead of thinking whats left to do I think of what I just finished and move on to the next. Thanks for the insperation.

When I was building my truck I would break it up into small jobs doing a littal bit at atime, if not, your right it can get overwhelming real fast. I'm glade to hear my build has inspired you. Keep finishing those small jobs and before you know it your driving down road in your 56.

Last weekend I took my truck for photo shoot for Central Valley Rides. Central Valley Rides is a local high quality magazine that covers the central valley of California. I’m not sure when it’s going to be published but when it does I’ll scan and post them. Sorry for the poor quality cell phone picture.

Thanks my friend! I know based on what you have done with your so it's going to an amazing truck too!

OKGMC4 · 11-21-2009, 11:10 PM

Love the truck more every time I see it. When I get discouraged about something on mine this is one of the trucks that gets me fired up and back out in the garage.

I like the way your roll pan hangs below the rear fenders. It hides a rear tank better that way. Seems like the MAR K pans are too shallow. Where did yours come from? Thanks...Mike

I got my roll pan from LMC. It took some fab work to get ot to fit.

CAL 58 GMC · 02-09-2010, 03:05 PM

Better late then never so I'm going to post a few pictures from last June at the Dinuba Main Street car show. My son just sent me the pictures this last weekend.

The show had about 175 entries with the normal classes you would see at a larger show. I went with a few friends and it was getting time to hand out the awards when my friend said there was a guy from the show looking for me, that I had won an award. I thought, cool, I must have won my class. So I hook up with the guy and he tells me to pull my truck up to the main intersection so they can start handing out the awards, so I do. Now I'm sitting in my truck waiting and think to myself, were are all of the other cars? Why is no one else here? So I ask the guy out my window, hey, were is everyone else? He said to me "what do you mean, everyone else?" I look back at him with a puzzled look on my face, he said "this is for the best of show". What? Best of Show? Wow!! Anyway here are the pictures. The first two are of me being clueless, waiting in my truck.

Surprised? By now we all know what a great truck you built. You should figure this out yourself, lol. Congratulations man! A job well done. You have the respect of us all.

Kabwe · 02-09-2010, 10:20 PM

Yes, I was surprised. There were some super sweet high dollar hot rods there one of them is my friends 37 Ford. Here's a pix of his car. The second pix is of a another 37 Ford that was at the show both cars are bagged and when they are laying on the ground they look like they are vacuuming the grass, so you can see how I would be surprised. Thanks for the congrats everyone!

Congratulations on the show win and the article... You have a very sweet ride and it is well deserved. I'm kind of partial to the 67-72 crowd but your truck has to be one of my favorites.

entourageguy · 02-10-2010, 06:54 PM

Good stuff Cal. Good thing happen to nice people......

bajabob · 02-14-2010, 09:27 AM

Cal
I just killed about two hours skimming through your build. My son and I saw your truck at the Brothers show and of course it took up more space on the digital camera (other than the Napcos!!!) than anything else. I knew your truck looked familiar but wasn’t quite sure until later when I realized it made it into the magazines... Very very cool...
I didn't see any pics from the Brother's event (maybe I missed them) but here's a couple.
