49 gmc i helped build

its one of our company trucks 4.8 fi 4l80e pulls the 30 foot trailer just fine

i did the door panels and made the flat bed among other things about 200 hrs of volunteer help on my part
vintage air, we upgraded the front to the 79 tc 2500 suspension and replaced all the parts new after we up graded , and went with a 96 dually rear end, thought you guys would like to see more pics , i frenched the caddy lights in, and everything i did took 3 times longer than i thought it would. sorry the truck needs a wash -- it gets used daily

Re: 49 gmc i helped build

thanks i cant take all of the credit russ and al prob spent 600hrs each on it , was fun though cuz i work at a 45 acre auto recycler and the owner here said try to use parts we have , and thats fun when u can have a shopping spree to build what u want , it seems like theres lots of time and labor its the money to buy all the stuff thats can be the problem and that part was taken out of the equation
