Re: My Pro Street '56 GMC Pick'em Up
I have been working on the truck but progress is slow coz I had to complete my new vertical smoker for a big Bar-B-Q coming up. So here are a few shots of what I built and coming after this are some up date photos of Donnie's rear Jag clip in his '57 Chevy long bed(now a short bed)

Re: My Pro Street '56 GMC Pick'em Up
Donnie's '57 long bed(now a short bed) is still pretty far from being done but the rear and front Jag clips are in and he dropped the bed on to see how it looks.

Re: My Pro Street '56 GMC Pick'em Up
BC, I like what you're doing a lot. Please, don't take this question as criticism because it's only intended as a question. If you wanted different, why use a tube style bump for the third member? How about JUST a bump using a round bottomed large size stainless salad bowl? It would give you more space in general back there, I've not seen anyone else do it. Your 55-59 fender/tubs are genius. I like the hell out of them!
I'm sure I missed it but LOVE the hell out of that Papay Orange interior, what paint; if any, will you use outside? Same orange or something else?

Re: My Pro Street '56 GMC Pick'em Up
Well Kabwe's oldest daughter was having a graduation party and I had the honor of doing the ribs after I broke in my new smoker, "Hawgs Breath"

Re: My Pro Street '56 GMC Pick'em Up
life happens and you don't get to spend as much time with your project as much as you want. So far this is what I have managed to get done, plus a lot of small detail stuff I didn't bother to take photos of.

Re: My Pro Street '56 GMC Pick'em Up

So far this is what I have managed to get done, plus a lot of small detail stuff I didn't bother to take photos of. I will post more detailed pics later. A portion of the bed opens to get access to the battery and additional fuse block and the battery tender. This is no longer the template but the actual aluminum bed no wood this time around. Still a lot more to do it is still a little rough around the edges, trying to get this bed to look exactly the way I want has taken more time then I expected.
![]() The front bed panel is going back on but after the tail lights and other wiring is done then I will paint the bed sides and fenders and tubs in pieces and and rear cab area and start the process of getting it back together. Still have other work to do the front of the truck very soon.

Re: My Pro Street '56 GMC Pick'em Up
More pics coming real soon hopefully. Will also post some pics of another new smoker I made to replace a broke down store bought one. 2015 BROTHERS TRUCK SHOW will be posted a little later. You gotta go to these shows to lite a fire under your butt to get your creative juices flowing again and head back out to your garage and fulfill that promise you made to yourself about gettin' that truck done.
Yeah yeah I know life happens..... man makes plans and God laughs. Any way do the best you can. happy truckin' ![]() ![]()
