1956 GMC frame question.
 

Hey all, I think this is the right thread to post this.

I have a 1956 GMC and would like to swap frames, I came across a video and this fella had a IFS GMC frame, I'm not exactly sure what year so I figured someone could help me out. The cluster gauges and steering wheel look like they came from a 2004+ GMC Sierra. Also, are the tow hooks custom?

Not sure what year it is, but the tow hooks remind me of something off of a Hummer? You can also get weld on D rings from a trailer shop too so I guess that we can't really base the year off of those. Looks like the cab has a little stretch too? I don't remember my '57 looking that long at the b pillar. Cool looking truck though. I especially like the rebar steps;)

Yeah I found them pretty amusing, it's different and I like it. I think he just made a custom extended cab. I tried messaging the guy, but I believe it was for sale somewhere in Florida, Ultimate Image is a dealership.

I'm sure you could use just about any 2000+ chassis. Either way, it's gonna be alot of work. If done right, in the end could be worth it.

I'm a young'n, this will take awhile, just want to gather some information. I don't have the tools, only a brain.

What size tires are they?

Bump.

Re: 1956 GMC frame question.
 

If I had to guess, I would say somewhere around a 36" x real wide tire. Looks like a balancing nightmare to me. Looks cool as all get out though! I had a '57 1 ton Napco years ago, so I have a kind of soft spot for this truck. Lots a fun!

I think it may have a Tuff Country suspension lift kit on it, judging from the White shocks with the yellow shock boots. I'm planning just to drop it on my 05' Cummins.

That looks to be a 2000+ chevy silverado or SUV frame, judging by the front suspension and rear hitch. Tires look more like 38x15x15 to me.

I was thinking the same, but the interior has a GMC Steering wheel and the gauges are off of a 2004+ GMC Sierra. Also the tow hooks look similar in the front.
