66 gmc
long time lurker. i recently bought a 66 gmc longbed big back window. its a franken truck. its got 6 lug front suspension with 3/4 ton springs. rear is a 3/4 ton rear end with suposedly 4:10 gears. i bought a swb frame from borris at street machinery to put the cab on. thinking of doing a 1/2 chevy 1/2 gmc truck. basicaly chevy grille and tailgate with gmc trim and dash. is that sacrilegious? gonna be a long fun journey.

Re: 66 gmc
Factory power brakes- cool.
It's your truck. Fix it like you want it. |

Re: 66 gmc
I agree....build your truck the way you want it. When swapping frames, first make sure there will not be any legal issues with your local DMV regarding having a cab and frame with different VIN's.

Re: 66 gmc
No reproduced GMC hoods. The Chevy hoods were just released not too long ago.

Re: 66 gmc
I'm confused about your grill.
Do you have two different GMC grills? They don't look the same. Also, do some research on the value of that chrome grill before you get rid of it for a Chevy grill. That chrome GMC grill has some good value.
