Thumbs up Re: 58 GMC Project
Thanks, dwcsr & Jebb! It was really cool to see it with the cab on it after 8 month of work and the cab off. He will have it for the week fiting doors and gaps then the cab comes back off and the block sanding starts and then paint in about two weeks.

That is awsome buddy! You are making me want 20s!!! It looks so short and stubby with that low stance and those big ol wheels! Man all your hard work is really going to pay off!

I let all of the air out but I did not pay attention to how low the rockers were. I know the crossmember is about 3/4 of an inch from the ground when the air is all out.

Re: 58 GMC Project
Nice truck! I wish my '55 Chevy was this far along .. I like where you put your battery as I definitely don't want mine on the firewall. I'm hoping to be able to do 2 of the long thin 5 gallon air tanks on the outside frame rails under the cab, seen it done before.

What size are your wheels and tires? They look good on it.

Oh and it should ride nice, my bagged 2000 rides real nice on air

Thanks becubed. I wanted to put the air tank outside the rails but the inside step does not leave any room. The wheels are 20X10 rear and 18X8 up front. The tires in the rear are 235/35 20, I dont remember what the front are.
