When I was the owner of the Pick-em up Truck Store in Napa, Ca. we sold a LOT of them. Its been a few years now and I dont remember the brand, but Im pretty sure if you get a hold of the Tulare store and send them a pic they can hook you up. Comes in assorted colors too....

Edit: Oh, and they were designed to sit on the seat, not the floor.

Thanks guys! no idea where the console came from, I'll ask the p.o. & I am running 275/60R15 on 15x8 rims

Truck looks good longhorn!

watahyahknow · 05-18-2010, 09:16 AM

the consolle looks realy good the truck too im guessing the consolle has been made out of a floormounted one with the bottom cut to fit the contour of the seat , watever it is he done a good job on it
did you done any other work to the longhorn caddy powered truck? last i heared about it the engine was sick or blown up or sumtin

68longhorn · 05-18-2010, 11:46 AM

The console was bought from some company many moons ago. lol He doesn't remember who, I'll look see if it has a name on it. watahyahknow, wrong longhorn. Its a 68 with a 292. my brother and I had the truck and when I got the 86, it became his truck. He is on here, name is Mayo.

makes me all warm and fuzzy inside!

I'd take it as a compliment too. With Jason Hill being the square body God and your truck looking so sweet, it's just a natural first assumption. You might be one up on Jason since you have two eyes for the square body.

So, since it's all you, great work indeed!

thanks! i feel the same way about taking it as a compliment!
and eric i still have them, they are on my 82, i just liked the softer lip of the 338 and the spoke shape and pattern..plus, im not a fully polished kinda guy

Tech_Ed88 · 05-20-2010, 01:44 PM

Nothing real special... just figured I'd post up some updated pics of the ole GMC
This was purchased by my wifes grandfather back in 87. He used it to pull his 20 foot tag along camper for 20 years. It was always taken good care of and the interior is perfect. no rips or tears. all stock.
The body was faded, so I had the school where I work paint it. 350.00 ..... not bad.
I polished all of the chrome and put it back on. the only upgrade to the exterior was the billet grill. The rest is completly stock.
I planned on pulling my 27 foot camper with it, but decided after painting the truck to retire it and give it to my wifes dad for fathers day. He always wanted a truck... and it was HIS dads anyway.

Happy Father's Day to him....

and me......
Here is the New truck and camper......

*BGRAFX* · 05-20-2010, 02:04 PM

That is cool I someday would like to build a 49 chevy for my dad he started on one when I was born in 81, then the army moved us to germany my sister was born 2 years later, by the time we made it back to the states I was 5 sister was 3 so dad had other priorities and ended up selling the truck. Kinda crazy now I've got kids and completely understand the sacrifices we make for our kids.
