Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC
Nice pictures, always been a fan of the old industrial back drop.
Would also look good in sepia, if you like that vintage black & white look?

Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC
Awesome thread, it has been a real help to me along with a couple others. I'm getting ready to do a 51 swap. I have the 4wd rear end in and the rear end lowered 3 inches and the front lowered 2. Just got my welder back from police impound or I would have been a little further along. Your truck and thread have been a real inspiration!

Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC
Just got my issue of Classic Trucks (February 2013 issue) today with your truck on the cover. Showed it to my son (reaper71) and he said I just check out your build thread. Spent the last few hours going thru it. Super nice work and a great ride....Jim

Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC
Wow first time seeing this thread, I absolutely love this truck and enjoyed looking thru the build process. If I remember correctly we probably snapped 20 or so pictures of this truck at world of wheels... dont think you were around cause theres no pics of the girls with us posing on it.
 Also where at around Da' Burgh are you? I love slowly learning just how many of these trucks there around this area, hope to have mine out and about some day! Posted via Mobile Device
