Re: 51 Gmc
I got most of the patch panels done on the cab,(inner and outer cab corners,gas filler hole,inner and lower outer cowl, radio hole, side vent shaved). I cut out the fire wall to make room for the *****in one. Hopefuly I will have that done in the next week or two. Then I can move on and get the rearend in.

Re: 51 Gmc
Your progress looks great. What brand of tires are those. I have 31x18.5 Mickey Thompson Sportsman. It will be quite a while before mine is driveable but, I'm sure it will have a rear tire shake. Every M/T Sportsman rear tire I have ever ridden on has had a shake. Let us know how you like your rear tires when it is up and running.

Re: 51 Gmc
Did you buy the filler panels for your gas filler and louvers, or make them from "leftovers"?

Re: 51 Gmc
I just found this thread. I'm building a 49 GMC. And this is my first build as well.
You are doing some great work! I like the big ol' wides in the back thats wild. My build will be more of a budget rod, in the traditional style. Last edited by sn33kyp3t3; 08-03-2009 at 10:15 AM. |
