The interior will be all black. Bucket seats and a custom center counsel. Chrome tilt Ididit column with a billet specialties steering wheel. digital gauges and vintage air A/C.

Be careful what you wish for. This project started out much simpler many years ago.

That truck of 50Bow-tied GMC is bad-ass!

joeys66pickup · 11-11-2009, 04:29 PM

is that a photochop or is the wheelbase really that tiny? i see that thing and think Wheelie Monster!!

sonofajunkman · 11-11-2009, 08:18 PM

Thanks guys, Yes the wheel base is that short only 6 feet long it was a mobile home toter. I tell ya you hade to be a real man to drive this across 3 states at 50 MPH (top speed)

**Dan in Pasadena** · 11-13-2009, 06:36 PM

Thank you Brad for the nice comment.

I got it in August but sent it out for rewiring which took forever. Put a new fuse panel and wired from EZ Wiring, all new gauges, the lights are actually bright, the signals work, emergency flashers (!) and stuff like a real truck, ha ha ha!

I;ve got lots to do on it, but I tell myself, "I'm pacing myself". I plan on posting here until I get tossed for being a non '47-'59.

blue 72 gmc 4x4 · 11-13-2009, 06:57 PM

Here's my '59 Spartan 100 with the original 348.

nickp51chevy · 11-13-2009, 11:10 PM

You'r the beginning to pre '47. Awesome truck.

Dan the 41-46 are really cool trucks, my next build will be one of those. i am actually helping a friend build his 1940. maybe the mods can set up a 41-46 category. stovebolt is the only board I know of for those. stick around anyway, nice truck

**Dan in Pasadena** · 11-15-2009, 12:28 AM

ssons, That truck looks cool. Do you have a clearer shot of those rims? Were they Torque Thrusts?

My dad drove me around in his '59 long bed fleetside the whole time I was a kid. He swapped in a 283 for the straight six, and later a 348. It was a screamer too.

Jack60 · 11-15-2009, 03:12 AM

Here is my 55 Cameo when she was on the road....
She sits in my garage, sandblasted, for the past 20 years. Hope to start working on her this winter........

Aquaninjay · 01-31-2012, 10:58 PM

Acquired my 1947 Chevy from my Grandfather who bought it new... Got it home about two months ago and working on getting it running. I think I have my work cut out! Always open for suggestions, advice and information. Thanks.

squirrely_1 · 01-31-2012, 11:59 PM

Is that a tree growing out from your truck? Cuz thats awesome if it is....

Aquaninjay · 02-01-2012, 12:19 AM

Oh yeah, it's a tree. It was a good 3 or so inches in diameter coming right up between the cab and the bed. Crazy! It was a persistent little booger too. Took about an hour or so to cut it out.

paintman5851 · 02-26-2012, 08:41 PM
