Nice. Seeing the bracing your builder put in the cab made me feel like he knows what he's doing.

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100

Well, got news today that it’s be wiser to purchase a new stepside bed from Mar-K because my trucks bed rear and inner bed fender is rusted and damaged and would cost extensively

Quoted everything from there, it’s like $500 bucks for shipping and handling but it’s going
to be worth it

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100

Ordering the bed sides and rear fenders later on today from a good friend

I’ve decided to do a LS swap/ with a 80 tranny in the truck

Got a lot of work ahead but it’ll be what I want it to to be soon

You didn't see me unless you drove through my living room. I didn't get out of my recliner.

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100

Some friends installed the gas tank for me


Got me a SBC 350 the other day

Decided to go with a SBC, to stay old school and less modifications

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100

Thanks everyone. Saving up for a rebuilt 700r4. Then engine mounts for the 350 and I’m just taking it one step at a time

The trucks bed sides are being repaired as well. Purchased some OEM bed fenders from a friend out west. Then, all I’ll have to do is put everything together(hopefully)

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100

Finally picked up a 700r4. I’ve got everything to put the engine and transmission in the truck. ����

Hoping it can be put in the truck this Saturday


Also, I installed the cab mount bushings and put the steering column back in the truck for now just to get it to be able to steer.

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100

A friends doing all of the work but I’m observing and learning

So we made some progress today with the V8 swap

It’s going to look so nice and sound amazing soon


Sorry for the sideways photo, not sure why it does that


But, my friend is going to finish up installing the engine and transmission mock up tomorrow sometime

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100

This weekend was a major success on the old GMC truck

The 350/700r4 is officially in the truck

My grandfather would be very proud

Major props to a great friend for everything

Putting truck rally’s on the truck here soon

The trucks came a long way since owning 7 years ago

Very eager to get the driveshaft modified and the rest of the stuff in to get it driving and most importantly running

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100

post 421, is that a future dune buggy off to the left? haha

don't mean any disrespect if you are a vw guy, I have just been thinking of building a baja buggy again when done this truck. you notice those things when they are in the back of your mind.

truck is looking great. it all takes time and that seems to be at a premium lately. always good to hear it running no matter the condition. it seems to spark ambition again on the project. maybe I should go and start mine up too.
