Re: 1950 GMC Project...

well, i hope you got the last pm i sent you, if not just pm me your number and ill call you.


nothing much on the truck. but i did get the bike up to ridable...

ok, today i made my pedals...

basically took black plastic ones and used the internals. got a piece of pipe and welded it to the cups for the bearings. for the pedals them selfs i used a chain i had laying around. cut the links i needed and welded them... similar to what Indian Larry (RIP) did on his chain bike or old lowrider steering wheels...





the banana seat has not gotten here yet, and i could not wait any longer to try and ride this thing. so i rigged the seat off my Schwinn just to be able to sit and pedal, the seating position is not to desirable right now, the banana seat should take care of that. it will be a little higher seating and further back almost over the rear tire. it rides smoother than i expected, you just gotta watch out for reflectors and dips in the road. i scrapped the bottom of the frame a bunch of times already.
