The hindenburg - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Dinos63 · 08-25-2012, 03:47 PM

Not the best name for a project, we all knew what a happened to the air ship. When i found this truck i notice a gold plate on the dash calling it the Hindenburg so its the hindenburg service body and soon to be laid out gmc.I found the truck on C/L and had been sitting in a field since 2006.The truck is in amazing condition, zero rust and most important to me the interior has never been rattle canned red or black

. My plans will first finsh my dually build, then start gathering parts i need and of coarse already made a call to nate.The truck has a leaf spring rear which i will flip the axle and install a decent notch but will not cut into the floor. Looks like about 8 to 9 inches drop. I will have to cut into the tool boxes over the wheels and the front will be full d/m and bagged. I'm going with stock 16" 8 luggers with caps

Can't wait to see the magic happen...

You are a truck building machine!

Bazooka · 08-25-2012, 04:46 PM

Leave some chevys for the rest of us

lol.. j/k

As usual cant wait to watch this project unfold.

**lolife99** · 08-25-2012, 04:51 PM

Dino,... cut that thing down to lwb status,... or maybe even a swb truck.
I think you can splice between the tool box doors and make it work.

chevyrestoguy · 08-25-2012, 05:06 PM

You going to make this a personalized shop truck with the appliance repair graphics on it like your work trucks?

Dude, you're like the Venus Flytrap of 60-66 trucks. Nothing escapes you!

Apache63 · 08-25-2012, 05:42 PM

A Truck with German "History" , i like that ! i have pics in my mind.......

mosesburb · 08-25-2012, 07:45 PM

Employee of the month gets this as their service truck??

What's up with all the items on the fenderwells?? The coolant puke tank on the RH fenderwell, the chamber-looking thing on the LH side, the glass remnants ahead of that?? The puke tank looks factory. Was that a V-6 only item??

slimbailess · 08-25-2012, 08:49 PM

TOO COOL, Dino!!!! Don't change a thing on the body, then no one else can copycat you....looking forward to seeing this truck rolling low....did you decide about the other ones yet?

**clemdaddy** · 08-25-2012, 09:54 PM

very wild utility bed... never seen one so long. that would make the perfect shop truck. compressor and welding rig in the back.... man, you'd be set.

i figure you'll get a good start on this one before the duallys finished. it's just too cool.

Delmo · 08-25-2012, 10:41 PM

Ohhhhhh ya!!!!

jonzcustomshop · 08-26-2012, 07:32 AM

neat find, I am interested to see how the front drop works out, I have a 2wd 8 lugger that I want to drop... so after you are done I will copy you!

btw how many sets of washers and dryers will fit in the back of that? 10?

" zero rust and most important to me the interior has never been rattle canned red or black."--- best comment ever. I totally agree!
