Custom Built 1 ton 4x4 95% finished - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Bram · 07-20-2005, 10:57 AM

Over three years of working on this truck and I've finally got the truck on the road again! I thought I would post some pics, whatâ€™s bad is it's not even clean in the pictures. Nothing special to look at, kind of looks like grandpas truck. My little sleeper!

Custom built 1 ton Big Block.

Here is my 40 gallon gas tank/tool box combo, and goose neck hitch.

A view from the front, you can see the Dana 60.

I'll try to get some more pictures of detailed area's. I'm still working all the little bugs out, but it's almost there.

I'm dig'n the silver~!

Bram · 07-20-2005, 11:08 AM

Thanks, I wanted something different so I tried the silver (Cortez Silver) and original white combo.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 07-20-2005, 11:25 AM

You have done a great job.. Beutifull truck.

Man, I think that looks very sharp and the stance gives it just the right attitude. I dont see where the Grampa part comes in , ALL ages will like that truck.
Or on second thought is that just the Grampa in me talking?

naw..

I beg to differ... that's a real head - turner for me. Outstanding job.

rambler · 07-20-2005, 11:30 AM

looks great! very nice... we need more pics!

orangeuavol · 07-20-2005, 11:39 AM

Very nice!

thecatseye66 · 07-20-2005, 11:49 AM

That is a great-looking truck. You've done a great job. I also like the silver paint and the stock look.
It looks like it could drag a house!

Bram · 07-20-2005, 11:54 AM

Thanks everyone. I'm very proud of it! Thereâ€™s nothing better than busting your on knuckles on something and seeing the end project come together.

This truck was what I always wanted if I could build one myself a 1 ton 4x4 Big Block, with AC, cruise, Dana 60 front, 14 bolt with 4.10 Detroit, TH400 with an overdrive behind it. This was my answer to how disgusted I am with the new 1 ton trucks. So instead of buying a new one I built one that I can work on, pull my gooseneck trailers, and drive to work every day.
I will get more pictures of everything.

bouncytruck · 07-20-2005, 11:58 AM

Very nice looking. I like the stock wheel/hubcap look. What size tire/wheel combo is that?

Bram · 07-20-2005, 12:01 PM

Stock wheels with 285/75 R16's.

**tnblazerk5** · 07-20-2005, 12:06 PM

i really like it

67ChevyRedneck · 07-20-2005, 12:10 PM

Excellent job with body panel alingment (take a good look at pics 1, 2, and 3). Way better than I could get mine! Awesome truck.

chickenwing · 07-20-2005, 12:23 PM

Very nice. A hard-earned, self-built truck. The envy of every gearhead.

GMC71k20 · 07-20-2005, 12:32 PM

perfect truck.

**Yukon Jack** · 07-20-2005, 12:58 PM

My hat is off to you, exceptionally great job!

You gotta like it...nice job...built your way...best of all.

**Joesjunk** · 07-20-2005, 02:07 PM

Very nice looking truck. I really like the stock look. I don't usually like them painted non stock colors, but that silver and white looks great!!!! One of the coolest trucks I have seen!!!!!

**D.PASSMORE** · 07-20-2005, 02:16 PM

Wow! That is one of the nicest LWB 4x4's that I've ever seen. I see the tow hooks, how about a skid plate?

Excellent looking work...
