Incredible truck man!

I'm just starting to go down the path of getting my 56 to lay out.

What size wheels + tires are you running?

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

That is a very nice truck the body looks perfect,the black gives it a classic look.Is the truck body stock or has it customized at all? Can you post more photos of the engine and interior would enjoy seeing the rest of it.

the body is pretty stock except for the front bumper being narrowed and chopped to fit better (not sticking out) and a frenched in antenna, the bed floor was raised about 2-3 inches to allow it to lower with bags, send me your email and i can send you to an album of pics i have, see ya jeff

1958 Burban-Thanks for the Reply and info.


58 GMCGreat Lookin Truck. I saw your truck in a magazine years ago and I clipped the pictures and article out to save it. It is what made me decide to bag my truck and go low.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Ogre_that truck is amazing. I'd die to have a truck from my grandfather. I was so relieved just to get a pic of my pap in my truck. I'd leave the patina, try and get the engine going (possibly re ring, bearing and gasket it) convert it to 12 volt, maybe lower it and put some all black rim and tires or white walls on her.

53olchevy_ nice 52 you got going, good stance and tuck. What is that rear and what engine you got?
