58 GMC Project

[CAL 58 GMC]

It's been a long time since I checked my old build page and look and see what my buddy Kabwe found! I try not to think about my old truck to much because when I do I miss it. Good to see it again though!

I don't get back to the forum much anymore since this thread has gone quiet. I'm subscribe to this thread and a couple of others. I only visit when I get email notifications.

I haven't seen another truck build as nice as this one. I'd love to subscribe to another build thread similar to this one.

It's getting close to being on the road. Just need to finish wire and interior.

Cal - I guess I can't really add anything more than what everyone has already said along the way during this build other than.... INCREDIBLE BUILD!

Im glad I found it here; in searching images over the years for '55-59 Chevy trucks your truck has come up alot. It is like a 'fixture' for the essence of a true custom chevy truck now and I think I can speak for the entire amateur customizer world of builders that you have created a true work of automotive art.

The Pros like Kindig, Foose, Coddington, Mayer, Steuer and Shine should be proud that somebody can put something like this together in such great detail.

Hats off to you Sir for some great inspiration for all of us "Homey-Builders"!

Thank You
