Re: My 54 GMC Build

I have been trying to figure out what I wanted for the gas filler. I am trying for an original look but there are things in this truck I wanted. I really didn't want to hide the gas filler because then it's a hassle to put gas in it. After all this is going to be a daily driver. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: My 54 GMC Build
Thanks. I am sure there will be plenty of after thoughts and mistakes that cause rework but it keeps me out of trouble

I have a piece of metal over the tank opening because I don't want debris or sparks in the tank. The u shaped metal in the floor of the box is the frame. When I slide the bed forward the inner bed panel will line up with this. The floor of the box will be flat up to the filler and then it will angle up to protect it. Tomorrow I am picking up the hinge for the lid and the access door for the fuel pump Posted via Mobile Device

Found a bumper in the shed don't remember where it came from or what car it is off of but it fits the shape of the truck instead of the stock round one. Made brackets for it. I will make a stone shield to fill in the gap. What do you think Posted via Mobile Device

Re: My 54 GMC Build
That is a sick looking truck. I have been off for a while. I have been finishing my 49 ford and it really consumed my time. Finished painting the truck monday. Two big projects left to tackle. One is getting the column in tighter to the dash and two lowering the rear. I am thinking axle flip since shackles wont work. I thought about cutting the leaf springs in half and doing a panhard and bags. I have all the parts for bags but not sure how to plumb and wire it. Not sure the leaf cutting will work eitherSorry its a Ford but it has a 67 Corvette 327 with a 700r4, if that makes it better

Re: My 54 GMC Build
I am particularly interested in how you do the dash and interior. I have a 54 cab that's going on what was a 49 Chevy. I like what you have done and would like to come by sometime. I'm In Fallbrook.

Re: My 54 GMC Build
I am sure there are other opinions, but this year and body may be the best of the ADs. A great looking truck. I am a fan of stock appearance.

Re: My 54 GMC Build
Thanks.
I am debating changing the wheels to steel with caps. The tool box covers the top of the tank. So if I need to change the pump I don't have to drop the tank. Love these trucks
