Re: 56 GMC Aussie Style

Red Foreman, Just went through your build again after talking to Trently saying he saw your truck. It is going to be a great truck. Love seeing the old school motor with the tri power. Keep up the great work.

Hey Trent, good catching up with you, your welcome to drop in anytime mate!
Thanks for the compliments on my GMC but my humble graft/build is light weight compared to your project & may I say your frame so far blows me away!

Hi Shannon, Trent said good things about you when we caught at my workshop yesterday. Thanks also for the compliments, I can't wait to sit the 348 in the frame but first I need to fix the swiss cheese firewall & sit the cab back on.

Cheers George.

Re: 56 GMC Aussie Style

Its been a while but I'm back again with a little more work done.
Got the original spicer 45 diff back in (flipped of course) I used u bolts & plates from a locally made vehicle which helped re-mount the shockers due to verticle uprights that mount a dampner that I will probably be leaving on.

I also repositioned the shocks up top, by moving the mounts out a couple of inches to straighten them up & take the lean out.

I forgot to mention the shocks are hand-me-downs off my mates 64 c10, they're 4" drop, also brakes are on & 99% of brake lines are done.
