hey fellas, how about some pics of just the task force trucks. stock, lowered, in the build process, what have you. I need some inspiration. mine has been back burnered for too long.

Russell Ashley · 09-13-2017, 01:30 PM

Got my truck back Friday after being without it since Christmas. Did a cruise in Saturday but it's been in the garage since then due to hurricane Irma. I got this off of FB, not a good pic but all I have at the moment.

Some from various sources except mine (Sage green one in my driveway) before I tore it down to the frame for the redo.

**Dan in Pasadena** · 09-13-2017, 02:40 PM

Beautiful Truck, congrats!

What size & width rims & tires are you running? I've got 17x8 Boyd's Smoothie II's for mine (not yet installed) hat I got a great deal on but I'm not convinced yet that they're really what I want. Your look IS what I want. Thanks, Dan

Hey dsraven, how the heck are ya?? Here's my before and after shots of the 56 truck. Hope this helped.

my56chevytruck · 09-13-2017, 05:44 PM

Hey countofmontecarlo84, what wheels are on yours? Are those American Racing?? And what did you do to set up the stance your truck has? (front & rear)

northerngmc · 09-13-2017, 06:59 PM

Are Blue Chip trucks allowed?

**Dan in Pasadena** · 09-13-2017, 07:17 PM

What's a "blue chip" truck? Never heard that term before.

**Dan in Pasadena** · 09-13-2017, 07:23 PM

GMC never made a "Task Force" truck... that was a chevy advertising thing.

GMC called the 1955-1959 trucks "Blue Chip Money Makers". It is common to refer to them as "Blue Chip" trucks.

northerngmc · 09-13-2017, 07:24 PM

I only wish I could find one of these......

dsraven · 09-13-2017, 07:47 PM

I am doing fine, just busier than ever. trying to get some stuff done so I can see my truck behind the piles of parts and other jobs.

thanks for all the pics, you guys are great.

dsraven · 09-13-2017, 07:47 PM

good info on the blue chip thing, never heard that before.

great thread, love all the pics of trucks, wheels and stance. How far along are you on your truck dsraven??

my56chevytruck · 09-13-2017, 11:35 PM

Hey Dan,
I like that one pic you posted of the "flat grey" paint job. where'd you get all these??

**Dan in Pasadena** · 09-14-2017, 03:30 AM

Most from this site or internet. The Gray one is bagged I seem to remember.

Never heard of it. And I've been in and around these truck's since they were new. Oh well.
