Sam's 1960 GMC build.
Hey guys, just was looking at some threads on here and thought I should start a build up thread to show my progress on my 60 GMC Here are just a few pics of what I have on my computer right now. As it sits in the drive way right now its in primer. The truck has a very strong running 305 V6. I'm working on building a small block for the truck. The pic of it on the trailer is the day I brought it home. Let me know what you think guys I'm alway open to ideas/ input.

Re: my build thread
i know i really like them. if i do decide to put my small block in there i will build a cluster to fit in the glove box facing the driver so it looks all og in there at first glance.
