My truck is finally road worthy
After a full tune up, new brakes, and a few other things my 1960 GMC is now back on the road....pretty much been sitting since 1997. I still have a few things I want to fix, but they don't stop me from driving the truck.
Started off looking like this:  Now it looks like this:  So far only modifications have been wheels/tires, and converting from column shift to floor shift. I need to work on the exhaust and the wiring, and I have a friend who is going to hook me up with a rear bumper. my only other plans for now are an oil change, getting end links for the rear sway bar, and getting a hitch on it so I can tow my airstream.
