How about some pics of 47-59 - Page 61 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

coffeeman · 09-02-2013, 03:00 PM

I'll throw one of mine in, as well!

pic didn't open up coffeeman.

coffeeman · 09-02-2013, 03:15 PM

One more try!

**arturo7** · 09-02-2013, 03:23 PM

Glad to see it's happy...

**oldman3** · 09-02-2013, 07:27 PM

Cool....Jim

mud.man.rj · 09-02-2013, 09:30 PM

Good start coffeeman, just a few more parts...

coffeeman · 09-03-2013, 06:08 PM

I'm going to attempt to post pics of my other two. My 1952 3100 deluxe and my 1952 Suburban. The truck is all original, except for paint and has 6 volt, bias plies and a smokin" 216! The 'burb is mostly complete, has very little rust and is currently getting a 3" drop axle and disc brakes along with a T-5 and new rearend to back up it's '58 235. *For some reason, I cannot get the dang picture of the the burb to load in right! Just tilt your heads and squint a little!

99 to Life · 09-03-2013, 06:17 PM

coffeeman, awesome looking trucks man. I'd kill for that burb. You should def start a thread for it. I got a 58 235 with t-5 as well, how ironic. Hey if you need an adapter for your t-5, my buddy makes them. check out http://www.vintagemetalworks.blogspo...ter-plate.html

**oldman3** · 09-03-2013, 07:48 PM

Sweet rides...Jim

mud.man.rj · 09-03-2013, 08:29 PM

I agree, sweet rides for sure.

Rocfrog · 09-03-2013, 08:45 PM

Well, we had to make a hard decision and sold the '52....not to happy with the decision but need the money more than the truck...

Hopefully when the time comes we'll be able to find another one.

Rocfrog that sux, that is a great looking gmc man.

Rocfrog · 09-04-2013, 10:50 AM

Thanks 99 to life, it is a really good truck we spent quite a bit of time looking for the "right" truck and actually ended up finding this one by accident. But it's ok we held out for the right buyer and te new owner already has great plans for it. And we'll keep our eyes out for another one and with in a year or two we'll own another AD.

Should'a sold the crew for $$$$ fixed the GMC

99 to Life · 09-04-2013, 11:42 AM

The Silverado is my Daily Driver, the GMC doesn't have a motor. I would have loved to fix it up but it just isn't the right time, we've had the truck for 4yrs now and just haven't had the time to even start on it.

I think when we look again we will be looking for a very similar truck I like the GMC front end and the wife likes the 5 window so I think the only thing that might be different is a regular bed vs the long bed.

New guy on the block. Usually work on Scouts, but I thought I would give this a try. Nothing fancy or high $$$. Just a working truck.
April/May 2012. Good price and good shape. 1948 GMC 3/4 ton

Had this for about a year before buying the "Great Mountain Climber'

Trial fit. Built the lifting crane for this project. It's super tall, which has come in handy.

As of a couple weeks ago. Cheap Tractor Supply paint. IHC red. Typical 350 SBC with truck 400 tranny & 4.10 rear. Have all the seals, rubbers, glass, door stuff, electric wipers & after market heater/defroster

Going with a hydro-boost brake system

Thanks for looking. Any suggestions/critiques welcome.

99 to Life · 09-05-2013, 12:55 AM

spreader, I was just gonna compliment on the patina, then I see paint!! Cool truck. I like the crane you built.

skymangs · 09-05-2013, 08:14 AM

Spreader... do I know you? I usually work on Scouts too! Nice project, looking forward to seeing the outcome.

Can't say that we know each other. I post up on Binder Planet & BinderBench some. Not so much anymore tho. I read the International thread on Pirate, but don't post. Their equipment is more hardcore than I care to get into. But great info! Use to be on OldIHC, but quit. Too many probs with site and not enough Scouts. But, I seem to remember an 'Ole sarge' on another site. Can't remember which one. That be you? Thanks for looking.

Sure is. I'm a regular attendee of RMIHR, poster on BP and rock crawler in general. Met a few folks from AZ in the past.

Thank's
Not much to tell.Was frame off renovated some years ago with 350 SBC and TH700R4. Power steering with Ididit Tilt Steering Column. Need some work now after been used for a while. But I like to get my hands dirty on my cars. New front axle with 3" drop, C-notch the frame and flip the rear axle will be this winter.
