BTW, I can envision your truck in one of the classic truck magazines within a year...If I'm right, you will owe me a 6 pack of beer!

Now that would be like icing on top of the cake!

Thanks Kabwe! I wish I could have been at Brothers Show last weekend. By some of the picture posted, it looked like there were alot of really cool rides.

Yep, you’re Kabwe. They are never done and if they were, it's time to sell it and start a new project. You have to excuse my son, 02snoma, he's not very modest.

Naw we don't need to excuse because he is right about how beautiful the truck is and I'm sure you will be seeing many awards come your way.

CAL 58 GMC · 07-15-2007, 05:54 PM

I was going to shoot the new video Saturday, but I was called into work. So, I'm going for next Saturday when my son can help with some rollin do the road shots. Here's a few still shoots on the lawn today.

I along with quite a few others here in the forum have followed this build for the last two years. 35 pages, 862 posts and over 59,000 viewing. This build has been a gauge for myself and I'm sure others as to the quality of their own build.
A tip of the proverbial hat and a hand clap for a job well done Cal. My only regret is living so far away from your truck now ( I did live in Santa Monica a long time ago BC ...before children) and not being able to see it in person.

Kabwe · 07-16-2007, 12:14 PM

Well man you've done a great job on your truck. You made some hellava nice choices on your build. It looks so nice sitting on the ground like that, you got me thinking of air bags. Look man you are making me nuts I already change my front clip to a 55 now I'm thinking bags.lol If I keeping going to shows and looking at pics I will never get done. I change things all the time. But enough about me great looking truck man.

That kinda says alot about the truck don't it? After seeing it in person all i could say was DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN. It is one awsome truck.

56chevy1300 · 07-19-2007, 12:23 AM

Hi Cal 58, thanks for the input on my thread. I have a question about your headers, what make and model are yours? Are they designed to fit your subframe -- Camaro-specific? Thanks in advance.

tiggerstoy · 07-19-2007, 09:52 AM

sweeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!

The headers are Tech Flow Shorties and are for a Camaro.

Frizzle Fry · 07-22-2007, 02:38 PM

So perfectly done I'd say it's in my top 3 favorite 55-59's ever! ...and I've seen A LOT of 'em.

Thanks Frizzle Fry! How's it going with your Tahoe-Burb and your 61?

Frizzle Fry · 07-22-2007, 09:51 PM

The Tahoe is gettin all the love while the 61 hibernates in warm dry storage. Not such a bad thing because I've acquired more skills and better taste in the mean time

Thanks for the inspiration

56chevy1300 · 07-30-2007, 04:09 PM

Hi Cal,

Could you please provide me with the measurement of your buckets seats...I need to know the height of the bottom seat cushion, front and rear.

Also, did you recover old seats or are they new?

Thanks a bunch
