55 2nd serie GMC

Looking good. I can't wait to get rolling on my 55. Great choice of colors, those are the 2 I was going with except I was going with the 2010 camaro green on top and Silver on the lower half. I was skeptical about the colors but looking at yours I can't wait. I am hoping to start my thread shortly.

What kind of steering column did you use?

Thanks man, The steering column is out of a 1983 full size Chevy van.

A little more progress the last few evening, m/cyl is in place, computer is also mounted under pass seat. Should have all the brake lines in tomorrow. Assembly is a little slow i'm still fine tuning the final steps, its seams like i'm still changing or making a new bracket for stuff that was already mucked up.

Thanks, I can't remember for sure was the seat bases are out off, its been many years since I made those. I remember they were chevys probably van. I lowered and narrow them to fit the ford seat I'm using. The jumper box is from a Chevy Silverado its mounted on the from of the left cylinder head.

Well reassembly is going a little slower then i would like it to be. Got to be so careful with the new paint. Installed some of the underdash stuff last weekend, got all the brake lines plumed, bled the brakes and found a leaky rear caliper, i guess thats what happens when things sit too long. Been doing final assembly on the box, all new stainless fasteners. Battery box is mounted little tight but works.

More pics from the last few days. The last 3 evenings was working on getting the bed board and strips all lined up and bolted down. Installed clear LED at the back of the box tops, I'll used those as backup lights. Finished brake lines too.

Nice progress man. I can hardly wait to see the entire body mounted on that lowered chassis. It's going to be a killer street machine

Yes, coming along very well. Great choice of the green also.

Oh, how I crave to be at the paint stage.

Well today was an other evening of working on the truck until 1 in the morning. Tailgate is install with new SS link kit. It will go on the frame after we put the back window in. Second fenders is on, starting to look very cool. Anyone know a trick to remove scuff marks on glass , PO had something rubbing on the back window, it left real bad scuff marks.

Where did you get your SS link kit from for the tailgate? Thanks in advance. Your Bed/Truck looks great I love the color. Keep up the great work.
