So is your truck getting a few miles on it now?

I was in Calgary last weekend but didn't see it running around!

did you happen to be out at the water valley saloon last weekend? there was a red and white 4 eyed truck out there, drove past it but never got to see it up close, was at a wedding. looked good though. I wondered if it was you doing a little run.

Thanks Greystoke for the kind words.

Hi all,

I've been wanting to weigh in to all of you who comment on Canadian built 1959 GMC's. I'm posting pictures of my truck that I bought out of a auction maybe 12 to 15 years ago in Tucson, AZ. I've taken the truck apart more than once making things better each time. The entire under carriage is new and has a early model corvette 350 with a 700R4 transmission. The bed is mesquite wood. The color is House of Color Tangelo Pearl. The seats come from the back row of a Honda Pilot and I built the center counsel starting with a wood box and then fiberglass, bondo etc. The box is water proofed and fits cans with a drain system tied into the front cups. Hope you all enjoy the pictures and I have a lot more if someone is interested.

Marc in Tucson

Very nice GMC!!!

Foot Stomper · 04-28-2021, 11:11 PM

Marc, yes, you have a Canadian built GMC. Congratulations! Less than 3000 short box / half tons made in the Oshawa, Ontario plant in 1959.
Nice to see some are still out there!
