Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
Yes really good short bed, cab has usual rust but decent also. This one is going to be low budget build, i have almost enough parts left over from my last build to put this one together. This is going to be daily driver/shop truck.

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
I like it! Can’t wait to see it come together. You plan on starting a new build thread for this one?

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
Hey Marc, great build, I've gone through your build thread a few times. I just brought home my '56 and it sits in the garage as I try to start pulling it apart. I'm starting on the rear end and going to put a 4 link in and disc brake conversion. I was wondering why you chose the parallel setup vs the triangulated, and what disc brake conversion did you put on your rear end. Speaking of which, what is your diff? Looks like a GM 10 bolt 8.5". Thanks Wade

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
It's been a few years since last time I posted anything on here. Well the truck is still going strong, coming to 60000 miles since 2014 and enjoying it very much. I live in Manitoba central Canada so it seems I'm always on the hwy for long trips and this year is no different. Last month we drove 4500 miles to the east coast to visit family and friends. Next week we are off to the west coast (an other 4000 miles) has part of the Western Canada Power Tour to Medicine Hat Alberta then we continue to British Columbia for some relaxing time vacationing.

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
Been back from Bowling Green Kentucky a couple weeks now. Was a great trip about 3000 miles with no major issues. Stopped by the American Pickers place in Iowa on the way back.

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
great looking truck you have there. nice to see you are getting miles on it. hopefully it's comfy for those miles and no numb bum, lol.
curious, what is the height dimension from road to the bottom of the front fender behind the wheel? does it bottom out on regular stuff as you make your way across the country, speed bumps, etc? |
