Re: 1951 GMC 3 window half ton

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Marc, I looked for your suburban at the Kalamazoo street show, didn't see the truck. There was a lot of nice vehicles.

Robert, I looked at your build. Very nice build. It looks like we're both out of paint jail.

Here's a few pictures of the color when outside. It's called whispering blue/green. Looks like bluish gray.

Thanks for looking, Jeff

Re: 1951 GMC 3 window half ton

My truck is done enough to drive. Finished in September of 2022. I'm posting a few pic's of final assembly. The young man in pic is my grandson Braydon.
He has his eye on the 427 in the last pic. I picked up the engine from a farmer friend who had it sitting in his shop for about 30 years. He said he'd been trying to give it away. I said ask no more and we loaded it up. It still turns over and probly just needs freshened up.

Cool about the 427. Glad you are driving the truck.
