New 1957 GMC Shop Truck Project
We got an opportunity to buy a 1957 GMC project truck from our family that has been in the family as far back as I can remember. The truck is beat up a bit but it is a California truck so very little rust. We are planning on making the truck a short bed, doing a complete modern suspension upgrade, add an LS engine with an automatic trans, power steering, power brakes and a lot of coolness.
I have also included a few pictures of an inspiration truck that I would like to recreate some lines from. Now I have to think of a name for the project.
Pink Floyd Day 6
Day number 6 ends with a good amount of progress. We removed the doors and just about finished up under the dash, just have the pedals to go now. I tried to remove the steering box without taking off the header, NO LUCK had to remove the drivers side header then out came the steering box and column. We got the radiator out and just about everything we need to remove to lift the body off. We have some bumper brackets left and a bit of chrome then off comes the body.
As soon as the paint is stripped we will do an official name change to just plain old FLOYD to keep a little bit of the history 🙂
