Re: 1955 GMC hydramatic

ok I think its about time for some updates. so far I got the front clip off and the bed off. i cut out the old crossmember for the original trans (someone had cut it with a torch). I am now just figuring out how to make the new motor mounts. Its been pretty cold here so I havent done much to the truck lately, but today I got the motor all re-sealed and put a new water pump, fuel pump and harmonic balance on it. Im thinking it should be a pretty good running motor because it was really clean when I opened it up.

So with my updates out of the way....the way Im going with this truck is Im going to make it look like a 60's hotrod. It'll be satin black and I will put some period correct looking tires on it. Black and red on the seat but Im keeping the original seat design and I have some seatbelts out of a B-52 that Im going to put in it.


oops posted the same pic twice...hahhaha
