Re: My Pro Street '56 GMC Pick'em Up
The never ending project. Been lazy about giving explanation on what I'm doing just follow the pics. It will make more since later. Doing some mock up fitting too. Some one on here asked to see a picture of my '68 Pontiac Tempest wagon, so that's it in the last shot.

Re: My Pro Street '56 GMC Pick'em Up
Thanks, the set up is from No Limit Engineering, but I had to make some minor changes to make it work with my lower shock mounts. I think your description of it is a good one. I was kind of thinking CALTRAC myself when I first got it. It's adjustable but a ridged assembly, with any movement handled by the rear shackles.

Re: My Pro Street '56 GMC Pick'em Up
I haven't forsaken my project. Still working on it. It's just that much of the stuff is pretty boring and not worth taking pictures of. It's the small details I have gotten hung up on. Here are a few photos, nothing in order, but it will make more sense as I move further along. I will be using the same parking brake handle but will be going with a Lokar parking break cable assembly because it is cleaner looking then the original metal rod coming out of the firewall going to the frame.

Re: My Pro Street '56 GMC Pick'em Up
So, where are you mounting the ebrake handle? I am not 100% on my idea yet.

My e-brake handle is going in the stock location. But instead of the metal rod I will be doing a similar set up as shown in the pictures below with a Lokar e-brake cable kit. The pictures are of Blue57 's truck http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=155 the last photo is Lokar's cable. http://www.lokar.com/product-pgs/ebr...h-ebrakes.html I will post pics later when I get to that point.

At least you're making some progress.
I haven't been able to touch mine for a month. Looks good. Kim |

Re: My Pro Street '56 GMC Pick'em Up
That truck is looking good. You do awesome work. On cables, you may know this, control cables can make you any kind of cable you want. They have some real neat stuff. I got chute, shifter, throttle and lean out cable for my dragster I had. He was cheaper and quality was great.

Re: My Pro Street '56 GMC Pick'em Up
Shame on me for not knowing about them before. They are only 22 miles from my house. For all I know I probably drove right past them going to Moon Eyes equipment. OHH by the way blue57 gr8 photos from Brothers Truck show, I didn't make it out there. Hope you have more pics to post.

Re: My Pro Street '56 GMC Pick'em Up
More pics of the seemingly never ending project. Photos may not always be in order. Some stuff is further along then what's seen here. I decided not to go with the emblems on the fender I thought it would be too busy, so I welded up the holes. Then a 'lil voice in my head said , " those chrome GMC emblems sure would POP and Bling up against that bright orange you're gona paint it. So I killed the 'Lil voice in my head
