I've spent over $10K on it since this pic was taken but I think this is still my favorite pic.

These pics aren't my truck. It was for sale locally awhile ago and I was so taken by it I kept the pictures. Now I wish I'd built my truck more like this than the Corvette IFS, over-the-top LS engine, etc route I took. Oh well, I'll just have to build another one!!

Dan, that truck is so perfect in my opinion, a daily driver for sure! What a great way to get to work.

Re: 47-59 Original and Close to Stock Pics
Colour is not stock, but other wise it's a pretty stock 1959 GMC.
Canadian truck, so a 235 I6, with 3 on the tree. I found a factory Sun tach for the dash and eventually had modern electronic guts installed in the tach to make it work. Deluxe heater and electric wipers too!
