1995 GMC Crew Cab Topkick Conversion
Greetings All,

In the past I built an 1981 Chevrolet C50 Pick Up.

Over the past years I have been doing a newer version to haul my our family from Kart Track to Kart Track.

Thought I would share the build.

The truck started as a mid 90's GM Medium Duty Truck. It is powered by a 3116 CAT into a Eaton Six Speed and then to a Spicer Two Speed Rear.

Truck is fun but still work to be done....

Our Driver with a tire, some more sanding and along the way I decided to have all holes filled in the rear of the frame.

BTW I use Rustoleum on the metal.
