Re: 58 GMC Project
Its coming along slowly but surely. I just painted the frame and I'm about to put it back together. I also broke down and bought a 4 link suspension. I did not plan on that. If I kept changing my mind its gonna take forever. One other change a friend of mine give me some 55 fenders, so I guess now I will make the truck match the car.

Re: 58 GMC Project
Looking great.....
I have to ask, what tailgate did you go with? Blank, or the new reproduction GMC for the 55 - 59 trucks?

Re: 58 GMC Project
Thanks! I used a flat smooth gate. I just got the tail gate back today.

Re: 58 GMC Project
I finshed the wood in the bed and got the tailgate on just before I went to a car show on Saturday. Here's a few pics of the bed and when I was at the show.

Re: 58 GMC Project
Looks great, I can see why you went with a smooth tailgate. I was hoping to get a report on the new 55 - 59 reproduction tailgate.

Re: 58 GMC Project
The wood looks great. Did you try to color match it to the interior leather?
