Ya Ronzo you might be right.It just look's not right with a bumper off. It will take some fab'n to get bracket's frome my frame to hang a bumber though.

This might not be a Gm truck.Though I already have it on a 1978 c20 chassis. Next up in the project line up. BtW it is a Ford 1941 COE.Grille is
a 1938.

[namloc]

Had some time to put to use.Fab's some tab's for rear shocks to mount.Installed rear shock's.

Thanks Chizzler,I got a whole mile on the Gmc now.It was a bouncy ride with only rear bag's.The ride is a lot better now.

[namloc]

A little something to keep an eye on the vital's cme in today. A retro tach . to keep with the style.

[namloc]

Tach. is mounted and wired in and function's.

[namloc]

Took the GMC out for a about a 5 mile shake down.Brought it back and tightened up suspension bushing's.

[namloc]

Got this before it hit the dumpster or recycle. Period tool box could be a little extra storage in the bed.

[namloc]

In between the rain I managed to fab in the rear supt. for bed wood behind tailgate.I have some louvered panel's maybe to fill the space though not sure about that.

[namloc]

So when I got the GMC it came with some wood possibly for the bed,It basically was a farm pack.I made it work though .This again is no resto. Started putting the bed wood in to stay.

[CHIZZLER]

Looks good. Here is a similar louver panel we did on my 40.

Looks good . I might do that. Thanks for the pic.

[namloc]

In thinking it would be nice to access the Accuair and compressor's easy from the bed I made the floor to be like a cassette to slide out and back.The frt bed panel and tailgate I sprayed some color on to match better overall scheme.

[namloc]

Bed floor .

Just read through the whole thread and I have to say this is one of my favourite trucks on the forum. The style and look of it is awesome, and in my opinion the 60-61 gmc hood is the best. Keep up the great work and be sure to do lots of updates

Much thank you.I have enjoyed watching your project move along also.The GMC look is funky just catche's the eye a bit.I do possibly need to post more as there is a lot that go's as you know to build these.

[namloc]

Mounted rear wheel tub's in bed .An under bed shot.

[namloc]

Under the back of bed picture at pretty close to ride height shot.

[namloc]

So as noted in past I scavenged this little gem.I thought a little extra stowage room could alway's be nice. It is locked down though easily taken out.

[namloc]

After week's of considering to put on a rear bumper or not .I have chosen to do so.A buddy of mine was at the Portland swap and scored a new 60-63 rear bumper for a song.Now to fab up some way to mount it.
