Re: 58 GMC Project
Hey Cal,
Sorry to hear about your troubles making it down. I think your truck would have been among the top ones there, and it would have to great to meet you. The only one I met was Tri5nerd (nice guy). I also saw to forum members I met at the So Cal forum get together (also nice guys). We were all looking for you, then Tri5nerd told me what happened to you. Sorry to hear that buddy. |

Re: 58 GMC Project
Okay, here the latest up date to my truck I was planning on showing to everyone who was at Brothers. I bought No Limit's tilt hood kit and had it all chromed. I realy like the way the hood fits and shuts The only part I don't care for is it has a hood support rod to keep it from going all the way foward. Here's a few pics.

Re: 58 GMC Project
Nice touch Cal.
I've been hoping they would put one out for the 58-59 trucks. Brothers use to list it for 55-59 but an e-mail confirmed it was only for the more popular 55-57 p-ups.

Re: 58 GMC Project
Cal, nice ride. I made an electric tilt hood kit for my 63c10. I was a pain. Your truck is very very nice. That is something to be proud of.

Re: 58 GMC Project
I gave it some thought to using actuators for the tilt but it does seem like it would take some engineering to get it all to work right. By the way welcome!!

Re: 58 GMC Project
Hey Bernie,
It was a bummer missing the Brothers show for sure. Good Guy's has a show in the fall at Pleasanton fair grounds I'm going to try and make. This time I’ll make sure my tow vehicle is tuned and ready to tow. Thanks for the compliments on the hood.

Your truck is amazing ! I can't believe I just went through 49 pages. I didn't get much work done for the last hour. Thanks for sharing your truck with us.

P.S., It's not that I did want to share, it's just I wanted to make sure it was going to make it first. But know that it's out I can share a few of the photos the photographer Rick Amado gave me.

Re: 58 GMC Project
Well lets all say congrats to Cal for making the cover. I get them mailed and it says October 2008, you would think they would mail you a copy when you make the cover. The cover and a feature is a big deal to me. I guess they mail them in advance to subscribers.
