There is..me too!:uhmk:

Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC
 

Im really getting close now... Gauges came yesterday and look pretty good in the factory dash, I will have the bumpers back from powder coat tomorrow and will build the brackets and get hung.. I cant stand it without the bumpers! I did a little cutting and got the back suspension down about an inch more.. I have to finish wiring some things and button up a bunch of little loose ends.. Leaving to make the trip to SEMA next week, back home then back to Scottsdale Goodguys.. If there is room in the hauler I would like to take it to Scottsdale.. Once we get home it will probably be snowing so Then I guess its time to get back on the 67 C10"Olive" thats been laying in my garage..

Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC
 

This truck is soo cool!

Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC
 

Great build, time to enjoy it...what is the backup light from??

Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC
 

I have no clue.. It was on there when I bought the truck.. I like it so I left it there..

Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC
 

Those may have been a option as I had a pair on my 55 GMC, so old the glass had a blue tint to it !!

Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC
 

solidaxel

if ya find another bk up light like that you may have yourself some true legitimate ''blue dots '' and not get pulled over by the man !

i like bluedots alot - too bad the man dont out here

Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC
 

I thought an old cowl spot light, very cool piece.

Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC
 

No its small.. There is a on off switch on eBay right now for factory accessories.. Really cool.. I will take a few close ups and post them up..

Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC
 

I can't help it but I cannot stop looking at your truck, awesome job & very cool!

Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC

Thanks.. Gauge panel is the stock GMC dash, i slid the gauges in through the front..

Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC
 

Thanks for all the compliments guys.. I loved my 64 truck and hated to get rid of it but couldn't pass up the deal I made on it... The 54 had big shoes to fill taking the place of my 64... I put almost 20k on the 64 in the 2 yers I owned it.. I am ready to drive the wheels off this thing!

Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC
 

Did you ever get details together to post about how you mounted the bed? Thanks!

Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC
 

Very nice, so that was your 64? I actually stole that picture off hamb nearly two years ago for my collection of "cool truck pics"
I must say you have exellent taste Sir!

Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC
 

Seeing as you brought your '64 up, I can see the '54 has original door art, but find it hard to believe one guy could be so fortunate to have two great shop trucks. Was the '64 an original shop truck? Great work making it look original if not.

Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC
 

Updates wont be for a few weeks now.. Currently Rolling down the road in the hauler with the "Runt" and "project sick seconds" in the trailer on our way to Detroit speed to pick up two cars... Then we head to Little Shop of Horrors to see what they are working on then off to SEMA for the week.. After SEMA we head to compete in the Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational in Pahrump... I will be back on it hard when we return and get pics of how I mounted the bed...

Back from a great SEMA show and the Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational where we finished 12th!!!! Today we are headed to Scottsdale for the Goodguys show so I havent had time to work on the truck.. Here is some pics I've been promising... Front bed mounts.. The reason I did the left side off of the side of the frame is because of where the fuel lines and brake lines were routed.. I didnt want to have to move them from the factory location.. And of course I did the right side first or I would have made them the same.. Tank and compressor for air ride, the rear spot/reverse light, it says packard on the top.. I believe it was a dealer installed accessory and my new Moon Eyes green metal flake steering wheel.. Once back from AZ I am going to button this thing up!

Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC
 

You live in PA where are you finding these rust free trucks ?

Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC
 

I plucked this one off of eBay... Original owner.. I found it the day it went on.. It wasn't cheap but I couldn't pass it up..

Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC
 

Your lighting amazes me, what are the bed rail brake lights from??? The bezels look great.

Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC
 

Those are just reflectors in the bed rails... they were in there when I bought the truck.. I know there is a company that makes an actual light... Not sure who though..
