If I built another one I would buy three things 1) 48-53 truck 2) S10 truck and 3) a wrecked camaro/trans-am, then I would only have to buy very few parts. Funny you post that picture of the black GMC, that is one of my favorite AD's ever. My wife was wanting me to do mine black, but now we will leave it patina. Here's a real good picture except it needed a bath.

Wow I feel like maybe I am on the right track. I have 1)51 chevy truck 2)94 s-10 chassis 3)a wrecked 1984 Camero drive trane and other misc parts! I eventually plan on a full paint job, but I will most likely run the patina for a year or two before I paint it.
I like how you used a crossflow radiator. Not sure I want to tackle a mod like that since this is my first build. Will probaby go with a mustang rad or one of the customs that can be had.
Awsome build Dude. You have inspired me to get back out to the garage.
