Astronaut has a truck that looks like it should be parked on the stage at Barret Jacksons. Outstanding!

Hello Guys, I am new to this site and have been browising your trucks and really can appreciate the work thatgoes on in getting them pristind. This is my 65 GMC daily driver. Upgraded to front Disc Brakes, 78 Caddy Steering Column w/Tilt and ext. Took out the V/6 and put in a 391 Stroker, has a 700R4 trans. Used Chevy side moldings on the bed and can instead of the GMC Moldings. Took gas tank from behind the seat and had a 50 gallon tank made and put under the tool box. Put on a set of 2005 1 ton Silverado 8 lug wheels and 17" tires. My next project is to add Power Steering, but I may keep it manual, that way I can keep the Old Lady out from behind the wheel...

Thanks, I had to get the centers machined out a bit for them to fit over the hubs. The newer trucks hubs are not as large as the older trucks.

Hey nicely done, I'm interested in the fog or driving lights cut into the bumper. How were the holes cut and did you have to re-enforce behind the bumper? If you have any pic's of how it was done please post them thank you. Again nice truck...Vernski

bowtied4life · 01-05-2013, 08:23 PM

Thanks, I did not take any pictures of the work I did on the bumper. I took it off and used a 3" hole saw and bore out the openings. Then I welded a 3"X1" piece of pipe inside the opening to enclose the driving lites that I used. Then i welded the L bracked to hold the lites in the opening. Grind the welds, and take it to the chrome shop, or prime them for painting. Thats a nice truck you have there, has a lot of Potential....
