59' GMC long bed
So today is the official start of the build. Loaded all the parts I have so far and dropped it off at the fabricators shop to work his magic.
Quick list of goodies: full Porterbuilt dropmember, 6.0 LS engine, custom backspaced wheels from The Wheelsmith. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: 59' GMC long bed

Re: 59' GMC long bed
Not sure how he did it. So far everything is being done by Vice in Hickory NC. Tim does great work. I believe he pulled it with a forklift.
