Re: "Overhaulin" 52 gmc project

I have always like this truck overall. But I'm like most of you that I would only pick and choose certain things to do to my personal truck.

I have been trying to find the episode on DVD because usually they show a little bit more of the build but I can't seem to find that episode. So for now it resides on the DVR. Since we have a '52 GMC I was trying to get some ideas but the show focused on the prank and the person more than the truck in that episode.

Re: "Overhaulin" 52 gmc project

I agree with most of the feedback. They raised the bed 4 inches and the rear bumper doesn't look like a good fit. It was for a nomad. I'm guessing 56 or 57. I think they mounted both bumpers upside down. Seems like it took 3 1955 grills to construct the grill for this truck, probably lots of waste. Wouldn't work for my 51 chevy truck because of the contours of the grill, hood, etc. I love the way the fenders look and if nothing else I will investigate the posibility of doing that to my truck. Again I think it may be impossible using a stock grill but it's just some food for thought.

Anyway you slice it Chip Foose is a phenominal designer and builder. We all have differing tastes in what we like, but everyone can find something to like about all his projects.
