You guys plan on being at Ottawa this year?

That is one sweet truck Kid! I am on the search for a 51 GMC myself. Beautiful truck like yours makes want to look that much harder. Anything new going on with it? I see its been awile since you posted.

72BlckButy · 06-27-2009, 03:28 PM

kid, I hope you are planning on bringing either you '51 or your '68 to the Midwest All Truck Nat's on September 11-13, in Riverside, MO.

Kid · 06-28-2009, 09:04 PM

Hey GMC406, Hope you find ya a GMC, they do look a little diff. BlckButy, I'd love to make the "Midwest All Truck Nationals". I gotta see if I can afford the trip, September is a busy month with the week before being KC Goodguys show, already bought tickets & rooms. You goin? Iv'e been itchin to go to the truck nationals tho so I'm not counting it out

72BlckButy · 06-29-2009, 04:05 AM

Oh, we'll be there alright!

And it sounds like we will have a pretty nice turnout from the board as well. Check out the Missouri/Midwest sections for more info.

I know what you mean about the weekends being back to back. I'm trying to come up with extra time/money for the GG's event so maybe we'll see you at both events.

Kid,
WOW that thing is beautiful. I went to the link to the Classic Truck shots and I'd like to ask what gas tank you used to get that final location for the cap? I like it better than the hidden-behind-a-door style.
What a great looking truck. Do you know the exact color name? Is it a stock mfg color from some year?

ChuckDriver · 11-16-2009, 09:42 AM

How is the lizzard skin working for you? Do you like it better than the Dynamat you used in your other build?? Beautiful truck! Hopefully going with an LS motor in my 57 soon!

I'm glad I used the Lizard skin, I think it makes for a quieter ride & seems to keep the heat out better also. I also used some "Damplafier Pro" on the floor over the Lizzard skin. (similar to Dynamat) just for good measure. No real measurements done to compare tho, just my thoughts.

Thanks Dan, I custom built a aluminum fuel tank, then mounted it behind the rear end & just used the stock filler neck, rubber gasket & cap that I removed from the cab & mounted it in the fender. The color has no name, but I found it in the paint chip book for Dupont "single stage". Someone once told me the color looked like "Southwetsern Bell" green.
