most guys would just start an RIP thread and put a line in their signature, or never touch the truck again for 30 years (and talk about it constantly). you got a lot of heart and drive man!

Outstanding job! Last time I popped in here you had just mocked up the frame. Looks fantastic.

How's the ride with the C4?

HUSSEY · 07-22-2016, 05:26 PM

Man, that's dedication. Great looking truck!!!

**JML55** · 07-23-2016, 04:32 PM

Well must have rebuild it right, just come back from 6000 miles trip to the east coast and back with no major issues. Spend time visiting family and friends, thru in a couple shows at the same time, Syracuse National in New-York state and the Atlantic National in Moncton NB Canada.

Thanks

Obviously done (and re-done) right. Sure good to see one that nice really driven. That's how I plan on using mine, but mine won't be cosmetically as nice (very few are!). As I've said before, GM really hit a homerun with the 55-59 design, and you've done a great job only making yours better.
And chrome out the wazoo on the front of those GMCs! They don't make 'em like that anymore.

Made it to the local paper a few weeks ago, see attached pdf. Well looks like that's is it for an other season , just about time to put it away for winter. Put on about 8000 miles on it this year, was a great season, next year more driving!!

Congrats on the ink in a mainstream publication. Very well written piece. Not penned by a rooking staffer. Either by a real car guy, or by the truck owner himself!

**JML55** · 01-04-2017, 04:38 PM

Thanks guys

RockinKees · 01-05-2017, 05:38 AM

Congratz on the publication!
