Lets try this again...

My son with his 59 GMC Fleet Option Stepside

Sounds like a nice build Brownsville, like the being able to drive it part, not much for shiny paint on my end. Good thought on the rake too.

Paint is Graphite Mica Metallic 38R from Mazda.
SBC, 2004R tranny, a/c, dvd nav, cruise, ps, pb, 18s frt & 20s in rear, all fenders and boards widened 2 inches, grill center removed, LED everywhere, Dakota Guages

All sitting on a c10 chassis, would never do that again...

Lovin all you trucks. Keep em comming!

mud.man.rj · 07-14-2015, 11:32 PM

Truck looks so good, so why not the c10 chassis again.

First, the width. I had no idea how much work it was to shorten up the track on a vehicle. Bought high offset wheels, widened the fenders, brought in the control arms, an it just BARELY fits without rubbing while turning.

Second, rigidity. Unless you're gonna box it all. I have extra support cross bracing and it still twists easily. I can see it in the box when I jack up a corner.

Finally, the frame of the c10 has a drastic dip for the cabs, in 1984 anyway, then you have to pick your poison, to change it so its all on the same plane, or mount the cab in the dip and fab the front and rear body panels to accept the higher frame. In the end, I welded the center section of the 54 with the cab mounts into the center of the 84 frame. It was a pain. Thinking the s10 would have been the way to go.

mud.man.rj · 07-16-2015, 12:25 AM

A lot more of a challenge than I thought, well you sure outdid yourself, nice job, but can see why it may be easier with the S truck chassis, a lot sure use them.

eagleuh1 · 07-16-2015, 03:40 PM

Lower50's, it's a 1950 GMC FC453 3 ton truck with 270 ci inline 6 with "H" head, bigger ports and valves, and Clark 5 speed manual, no overdrive. Runs great on GM TBI fuel injection. Will do 60 on flat ground. LOL.

eagleuh1 · 07-16-2015, 03:41 PM

Granite guy, truck came out beautiful.

lower50's · 07-17-2015, 07:06 AM

Great look Graniteguy. Can you tell me the brand, name and size of those beautiful wheels?

Tire Guy · 07-17-2015, 11:25 AM

Here is mine. 1957 Chevy mostly restored. Just needs a lot of TLC.

Crap. Pictures won't load. I'll try again later. Something about a security token...

Tire Guy · 07-17-2015, 01:44 PM

Thanks. It is about 80% done. I have some major and minor projects for it. So many are related. I want to do some big brakes all around. That means new wheels and tires. I want to dynamat the inside and new carpet, steering column and wheel. I need to do a full A/C install. The list just gets bigger every time I look at the other nice trucks on this site. So much to do and so little money!

ChuckDriver · 07-18-2015, 07:26 PM

Nice 57 Tire Guy!

Chevy500 · 07-19-2015, 04:36 PM

Cool truck, I don't see very many fleet trucks out there. I like how GmC used the Chevy dash and no frills mesh grille. What plans does your son have for this truck? Restore?

Here is a crappy pic of my newly acquired family hauler. 1950 suburban.

**Advanced Design** · 07-30-2015, 11:55 AM

Welcome 50burban. Very nice Burb you have there.

50burban · 07-30-2015, 12:36 PM

Thanks. Had to bail on a 55.1 pickup that I was building, in favor to cart around my new set of twins. We found this one pretty much as you see it. Monte front clip, 454/turbo400, PS,PB,AC,PW. Plan to convert back to sliding windows, get rid of that 300zx hood scoop and touch up a bit. Plans to change the interior as well. Rides awesome.
