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

Because the new rear springs from "No Limit Engineering" brought my truck so far down I have to notch and weld my shock cross member. I just want that little additional clearance for peace of mind. I had a hunk of channel that was too thick, didn't use it.

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

Progress on the truck went into slow motion due to family stuff & other projects. The wife wanted a fancy wrought iron drive way gate. Didn't have that kind of $$$ But I did have plenty of scrap metal.

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

Progress on the truck went into slow motion due to family stuff & other projects. Then I came back on 67-72 Chevy trucks and was happy to see I wasn't the Loan Ranger there was more then a few projects in slow motion too.

Yeah man ain't that the truth .... I don't mind, the more the merrier. Years ago I saw Seth Doulton's ride (owner of Golden State Pick-up Parts) Orange '56 Chevy step-side, and I said that's the color for me. And orange ride after orange ride I keep seeing, at these shows where I took these photos all I got to say is, "Yeah MAN !!"

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

I’m not sure if it was growing up with the general lee jumping bridges or if it was the love of the orange 69 gto judge but when it came time to choose color I HAD to have orange on my gmc so I may be a bit biased but I like it! Besides, super easy to find your ride in a parking lot full of soulless white and gray SUVs.

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

The bed and seat belt latches gave me some issues putting everything back together, paint got scratched I got pissed off at myself, tail gate needed more work and other issues. Then a few weeks after that was sorted all out Kabwe of Bam's build, Donnie with the '57 Chevy pickup project I post on here with a couple of other friends came over after leaving a local Cars & Coffee Cruise In to help me put the bed back on the truck.

The two nice rides belong to Grant ('55 Chevy truck) and Craig ('55 Bel Air)

The last picture looks pretty lame, I know it was a reenactment of the bed going on coz I forgot to take the picture, I was busy making sure the plastic and cardboard were in place so the paint wouldn't get scratched up

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

Next complete the bed assembly, change up the stop lights do some minor electrical, later put the bed floor in. Progress on the truck still in slow motion due to family stuff & other projects. Ran into some issues with my '67 El Camino project and trying to get that sorted out as well.
