So, I know I’m going to catch some heat

But, I have went with a 4.8 LS.

I’ve stalled due to purchasing my grandfathers John Deere tractor back and
am taking care of other things at the moment. But as always
I am hoarding parts

Hope everyone is doing well

dsraven · 07-19-2021, 11:28 PM

Hey, nuthin wrong with the 4.8 in a truck this size. Besides, it will be all set up for whatever LS you want to install later should you change your mind.
Personally, I'm not a tire smokin hp head so a 4.8 would be lots. Fuel injected so easier on gas and better starting/running at any altitude. How is that wrong?
Keep hoarding till the wife stops buying shoes.

57FleetsideC4 · 07-20-2021, 07:46 AM

I have a friend who has a 4.8 in a square body and it moves the truck great. Steve

SCHRUMGMC · 07-27-2021, 02:08 PM

Yeah. I am currently looking at a S10 4x4 rear end that has 3:73 gears as well

Trying to make some progress

SCHRUMGMC · 08-30-2021, 08:22 PM

The LS engine is finally in the 59. Soon to be getting a transmission and some other things to be able to drive it soon

I painted the engine myself. I put the coil packs, intake and water pump on

Debating on going with a drop down battery box on the frame to get it off the firewall and make this truck the nicest truck on the road

Making great but is progress

**Ol Blue K20** · 08-31-2021, 08:11 AM

Progress is Progress! Looks good.

Keep at it and it'llget there.

SCHRUMGMC · 09-11-2021, 11:03 PM

I have ordered headers, inline fuel pump kit and some other things

Oh, and I got a good transmission a few or so days ago

Making more progress

It should be cranked and running very soon

**Ol Blue K20** · 09-12-2021, 07:54 AM

Keep at it, it's gonna be nice....

SCHRUMGMC · 09-16-2021, 03:09 PM

Major update

Ordered a brand new IDIDIT steering column, power steering box setup, both dipsticks for the engine and transmission(LOKAR). New inline fuel pump kit and headers, and the truck will be running and driving very soon

Also getting the seat redone to show quality

Hoping to go back with the original steering wheel.

Going with top notch fuel lines and fittings as well

So much to get done for the next few weeks or so

Indian113 · 11-10-2021, 02:51 PM

Keep putting one foot in front of the other and you'll soon be finished with the trip! Looking Good and will provide you with a lot of fun.

Yes I’ve sorta went Mia on the site. Not much has really happened but buying and collecting new parts

Trying to get my grandfathers 71 gmc back currently

SCHRUMGMC · 02-13-2022, 11:50 PM

About to make some major progress with this old gmc truck of mine

Got a nova rear end a few weeks back and going to have it installed
so I can have posi-traction and a better overall rear end and am
having to redo the front axle to 5 lug disc brake conversion kit
And with the nova rear end, I’ll have matching lug patterns

Getting ready to order
Rear bed fender set
Radiator

Old air brand of heating and air conditioning made for my 59 gmc
Holly terminator x
Wiring harness for the truck
Serpentine setup for the LS engine
Gauges redone
Seat redone

So much more as well,

Getting ready to see this 59 gmc of my grandfathers running and driving because it’s been a long time coming

**Ol Blue K20** · 02-14-2022, 08:38 AM

You missed your birthday thread in the general forum.

SCHRUMGMC · 02-14-2022, 02:21 PM

Saw it this morning. Can’t believe I missed it

I’ve decided to do a stage 2 cam setup to get a good sound and a fresh top end to the Ls 4.8 engine. Also as I said in the previous post I
am going to put air conditioning in the truck eventually but am going to buy it so I’ll have it

Going with a classic update wiring harness too!!!

So eager to get all of these new parts and have them installed

Will update as they come in

SCHRUMGMC · 02-15-2022, 03:44 PM

Bought me a brand new pair of rear stepside bed fenders along with a classic update wiring harness

Ordered the holly terminator and intake setup, soon to be ordering the serpentine system and ac/heat from old air too

**Ol Blue K20** · 02-16-2022, 06:02 AM

Nice, a few more parts and it's a runner!

SCHRUMGMC · 02-16-2022, 11:51 AM

Yeah, she’s going to sound nice too hopefully

wwhijr · 02-20-2022, 01:29 PM

I forgot about this build. One day I am going to have to get up there and take a look at it in person.

SCHRUMGMC · 02-25-2022, 10:07 AM

Got my heating and air conditioning from old air.
Ordered my gauge cluster and gauges from classic instruments

My stage 2 cam kit is on its way

My mid rise polished intake is here along with my head gaskets etc

Waiting on my holly terminator system to be shipped out too

So much work is to be done on this 1959 gmc. But I am excited to say it’ll be running and driving very soon I hope

Got more parts to order as well

**Ol Blue K20** · 02-25-2022, 10:17 AM

You're going to be busy soon..

My friend is going to be doing the work to make sure everything is done right and is ready to drive around. Then it’ll be some time to do the body work and paint etc

SCHRUMGMC · 05-20-2022, 02:06 PM

Went ahead and purchased two brand new front fenders since my oem ones were pretty much toast. I also bought a inner drivers side fender

Also…. My new gauge cluster came too!!!

The trucks coming together slowly but surely
