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.

Yep it's for 55-57 only witch is a bummer for all the four lighters. You would think thay would start working on a kit for the 58-59 truck since there are almost just as many of them.

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.

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!!

Oh well how about next year I will have my Chevy ready and we can hang out next to each other.
I don't remember if I told you this but I used to live in Colton, CA and got my '57 from a guy who lived in Riverside back in 1990.

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.
