Talking Re: Lets see your truck!

I got the 36 gmc hood nose and grill for mine- and No--No origonal will be harmed to do mine, 36 was the first yr of the GMC half ton and it would ba a sick puppy who would mess with a stock one--There are 1.5 ton stake bed ones of someone searched long and hard enough.
I feel that people should spend their vacations in Nebraska--lookin to see what farmers got in their tree rows

Don't know if you've seen this before. But, this is one unique way of doing a chop. More work, but I really like it because you don't use the filler piece in the roof this way....

Thanks for posting that thread it looks real cool. i have done my fair share of this--- One of my cabs is One of a kind---

Most guys do not know but the 36 is more different than the 37-8 than they know The rear window opening looks the same-it is the same hole--but its positioned 2" lower on the 6 , also the windshield is 12" on the6 and 14" in the 7-8 and I think if someone is taller from the waist up the 37-8 gives a better view and guys dont feel like they have to crowch down in the seat to see--im a shortie so peering over the dash top is the problem.

anyway i have a 37-8 with a 6 roof top spliced-its a hybred of both.

and another thing--Im not chopping up two cabs to do this this time, im splashing off them to make temp plaster molds to get the parts needed So i dont cut up good cabs ( but I know a guy who has some he torched the hinges off of)--I hate it when that happens.
