49 GMC Pickup

[Billys68SS]

Ive been wanting to build one of these trucks for a long time and finally got my opportunity. My Dad had a 51 3100 when I was a kid and its still in the family. It was going to be mine when I was old enough to drive, but things change and it now belongs to my oldest younger brother. I picked up my 49 this past April from a guy who was getting rid of projects. I got the cab and some various pieces for almost nothing. He has a 1983 Chevy C10 that he was working on and I had some parts that he wanted so needless to say no money exchanged hands. What I got was a gutted 49 cab (with title), doors, hood all of the trim pieces, all sitting on an 83 c10 chassis, 2 sets of wheels a 700r4 trans and some kind of ford rear that he said came out of a Lincoln with disk brakes.
Ive been following several of the guys on here and taking ideas from their builds. Ive started mine in the last couple weeks and will be posting my progress as often as possible. Pics will be up as soon as I can remember how to post them.
