Nice. Seeing the bracing your builder put in the cab made me feel like he knows what he's doing.

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
Well, got news today that it’s be wiser to purchase a new stepside bed from Mar-K because my trucks bed rear and inner bed fender is rusted and damaged and would cost extensively
Quoted everything from there, it’s like $500 bucks for shipping and handling but it’s going to be worth it

You didn't see me unless you drove through my living room. I didn't get out of my recliner.

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
Some friends installed the gas tank for me
Got me a SBC 350 the other day Decided to go with a SBC, to stay old school and less modifications

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
Thanks everyone. Saving up for a rebuilt 700r4. Then engine mounts for the 350 and I’m just taking it one step at a time
The trucks bed sides are being repaired as well. Purchased some OEM bed fenders from a friend out west. Then, all I’ll have to do is put everything together(hopefully)

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
Finally picked up a 700r4. I’ve got everything to put the engine and transmission in the truck.
Hoping it can be put in the truck this Saturday Also, I installed the cab mount bushings and put the steering column back in the truck for now just to get it to be able to steer.

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
post 421, is that a future dune buggy off to the left? haha
don't mean any disrespect if you are a vw guy, I have just been thinking of building a baja buggy again when done this truck. you notice those things when they are in the back of your mind. truck is looking great. it all takes time and that seems to be at a premium lately. always good to hear it running no matter the condition. it seems to spark ambition again on the project. maybe I should go and start mine up too. |
