Crushing Gumby 71 Shortbed Patina build - Page 13 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jasonvw · 08-18-2013, 09:40 AM

Finally! A big step in the progress on Gumby! The body is on!!! Im really excited about the build at this point and its starting to look like a truck again. Firewall where the heater used to be and all unneeded holes are all welded up, metal finished and painted. Cab bottom was cleaned up and undercoated before it went on.

Del also got the trans hump out and the high hump is ready to go in next. As soon as the wheels get here, it will be a roller again! Its getting very very close. What do you guys think?

Great looking truck and awesome progress!

I have two questions, which wheels are you going with?

And any particular reason you left the drums out back?

STOCKISH · 08-18-2013, 09:27 PM

Man that looks amazing! Love the engine color matched to the truck!

Thanks guys! Wheels will be the new Intro built Delmo specials, you just have to hold tight to see them. As for the drums, the brakes work great as is, and you won't really see them through the wheels so I stuck with what works.

knomadd · 08-19-2013, 10:40 AM

That's some great progress. Gumby's looking better every time you post.

*truckmanloco* · 08-19-2013, 11:04 AM

Cant wait to roll them together brotha.

**Homebuilt Hotrods** · 08-19-2013, 12:58 PM

Just came across this thread and love it. Sweet truck.

Low Elco · 08-19-2013, 01:04 PM

Shewwwwwwperrrrb! Looks Killer. When did Del get in with Intro? Are you gonna fix the rockers and kinda "faux" that back in?

STOCKISH · 08-19-2013, 09:35 PM

Are you planning on running AC on this? If so which compressor are you going to use? Original and keep the OE look or upgraded Sanden type (maybe body color to blend in better)? Also, whats the paint code on this truck? Is it a factory color?

jasonvw · 08-23-2013, 09:49 AM

Nah, no AC for me. I like the basic stripped down look of the engine as is. Honestly it stays really cool here so windows down is really all I will ever need. I don't know if Im going to do the rockers... I have been thinking about it but Im still on the fence. The truck is all original paint, no blends on it, and I really don't know how I feel about cutting those out and blending paint. Maybe.... maybe, we will see.

Booya · 08-23-2013, 10:44 PM

Just finished going through the whole build. Like what you have done, can't wait to see the progress....

jasonvw · 08-24-2013, 10:17 AM

Awesome, thanks for following along. More good stuff is just around the corner. I have been playing with the 65 in my free time, enjoying it until the very last moment, when I finally list it for sale... I changed it up a bit. I will post up some photos later today.

builtbyKane · 08-24-2013, 03:21 PM

Can't wait to see this thing rolling!
