My 57 Project
Attached (I hope) are pics of my 57 gmc I finally brought home yesterday. I plan on stripping it bare and doing body rust repair. Them putting a camaro clip on it as well as camaro rr diff. I am very confident with the help of all you guys on this site. I hope my project can come out as nice as some of the truck I have seen on here. |

Re: My 57 Project
The local antique wrecker has a step side box for $250 so I think I'll pick it up. I paid nothing for the truck so it's not gonna kill me to dole out a little cash. I have to find a camaro clip and rear diff and get this truck down where it belongs.

Re: My 57 Project
Cool start. I've always thought that the griller insert in the GMC hood would make a great cold air intake. Get ready for a lot of fun.
I think you need a little more room in your shop. Hey, I have an idea... you could park thatother car over at my place. I'll even come over and pick it up for you.

Re: My 57 Project
Woodbutcher I found that other car in Saskachewan when the farmer that owned it bought a new tractor and put the camaro outside for the winter! It was covered with a rotten tarp and smothered with radial tires ! I am glad I rescued her, and now hope to do the same for the 57.

The truck looks like a good start. The camaro looks good also.
