Thanks, Those flatbeds are nice also. In the past I had a 46 1 1/2 ton flatbed and a small 3/4 ton (1/2 ton some would call them).

Thanks, this will be a lot of work, but it should be fun doing it. Maybe even start my first build thread. lol

BTW. This has the short 127 inch wheelbase, the same as my 72 suburban.

Re: Lets see your truck!
 

Looks great.

Re: Lets see your truck!
 

Here are a couple photos of a '41 Chevy. Unfortunately, it's not mine. :lol:

Re: Lets see your truck!
 

"nice truck......... is that a 8' bed ?"

This is a T-14 3/4 ton originally. And it has the extra long bed. 14" longer than a chevy short bed, 4" longer than a chevy long bed. I started to cut it down several times but the thought of having something different won over the thought of correct proportions. I plan on rolling it out in the spring with the GMC front end much to some saying that the front end is ugly. I like it to be different. There's not another one around that I have laid my eyes on. Lot's of short bed chevy's.

Re: Lets see your truck!
 

Anyone saying a 37 gmc's grill is ugly dosent got any taste, PERIOD.
its one of the coolest designs from the thirties - hands down.

To me the so called "art Deco" bulbulous grills from 41 up is whats ugly,

There is no more art deco anything automotive than a 37-8 gmc grill,
They can be done like a volume control---turned down or all the way up!

Re: Lets see your truck!
 

Painted up a set of wheels today and tossed on some smaller tires. Changed the look!

Re: Lets see your truck!
 

Looks great Newfisher. Where did you find this one?

Re: Lets see your truck!
 

At a show. Traded the orange 65 and the blue 50 trucks for it. Having dogs that I take everywhere, suburbans make a great pooch rig.

Re: Lets see your truck!
 

Those wheels look awesome on your truck!

Re: Lets see your truck!
 

tuckeez, I agree wqith you completely. I don't care much for the 41-46 front ends either. I can't wait to get the GMC front end on my truck. I have tried a few different paints to try to match the natural rust but not having much luck. I may just have to paint it a flat black and roll on. Or I could do with what I did to the chevy grill. It was Blue before I put it on the truck. I wire wheeled it and let it rust naturally.

Re: Lets see your truck!
 

Just realized I never posted a picture of mine. '46 with MII, 350 TBI/700R4.
It's been my daily driver for 10+ years now. Building the back-up truck now.

Re: Lets see your truck!
 

I Know exactly what you are trying to do--I thought of doing that too, I saw a color the other day, a hagerty new article,, 78 aston martin painted Madagascar cinnamon color, that with some darker brown mixed in -or sorta custom fogged over in patches.... Dig what im sayin?

Re: Lets see your truck!
 

The 37 is the most popular of the 30's chevys- i like the 38 best, but im doing a custom 37 nose configured as a 34-6 size " mutant" to work with those 34-36 hoods ... for one of my fenderless rod pickups.

Re: Lets see your truck!
 

Altitude adjustment this weekend. Rear aired out

Re: Lets see your truck!

Re: Lets see your truck!

Very nice Newfisher! Four link?

I wish! No room. A parallel crashes into the inner wheel house skirting on the upper bar and a triangulated 4 crashes into the fuel tank. Sure, I could cut up the Suburban ( waaaay different than a truck from the B pillar back) inner panels or relocate the fuel tank then fill the body hole and refinish the side, but I wanted to have the least amount of collateral damage with the most drop mechanically possible. The tires are housed in outer fenders and can only go so low unless the fenders are moved up on the body and lower fenders are fabricated to match up with the boards. Chizzler did some of this on his truck build. So far sitting in my garage are A tri 4 link system, a parallel 4 link system, 2 different watts links and a 68 c-10 crossmember with trailing arms and adjustable pan hard. It's tough to visualize all of these when laying in bed on the computer and the burb 35 miles away at work :(

I ended up using some rock crawl world parts, some home brew stuff, firestone bags and a V2 Airlift system. The pan hard bar is 42" long and has a pair of 2-5/8" Johnny joints that are bushed, rebuildable and crazy flex. The 2 link bars are 44" long and have Dodge 1 ton bushings up front with the rears welded to spring plates. I am using a 2inch block ontop of these. I will get some pics once the paint dries.

Here's my 1946 - not a pickup but I use it like one

Re: Lets see your truck!
 

Ghan....do you have any more pics? Thats a nice truck!

Re: Lets see your truck!
 

Thanks Newfisher. My daughter wanted a 'retro rural' wedding theme - so I did up this truck and a 1948 john deere D for her wedding pics - got me out of a lot of boring decorating :) :)

Here's the truck and the tractor

Re: Lets see your truck!
 

She's not exactly a truck, but she's mine. Its a 1967 Chevy C50 school bus converted into an RV, aka, a schoolie. Or a Skewlie as I like to call it. Its been in the family for about 40 years. I used to sleep in the cupboard when I was little. I just recently got it from my Dad, now its time to bring her into the 21st century.

Re: Lets see your truck!
 

My newest project 1934 chevy .http://i323.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps1467fa5a.jpg

Re: Lets see your truck!
 

Yes the camper is homebuilt . A friend made it about 15yrs ago , he had a '37 Chev then.

After that he had a '46 and the camper saw use there .

I was camping in my truck one summer (in the canvas canopy) and we had 2" rain over night . The bed got wet and I had had enough.

Mean time , my friend has bought and rebuilt a lovely '59 Apache and the camper doesn't fit................

Yep , straight 'round to his place I go :)

Re: Lets see your truck!
 

Our (early) 1947 GMC just arrived yesterday from Arizona!

Camaro front clip and rear end. Disc brakes, tubular A-arms. Fuel inj chevy 350, AC, a few other little things here and there.

Plans include wooden bed kit, wheels and tires, possible interior redo, and redoing the running boards in grey. If anyone has any help or sources for those things, let me know. Thanks!
