Re: Show us your projects

Have my wiring harness mostly in, brake parts, master cyl., and fuel tank waiting.

Any info on seat parts would be helpful. Springs etc.

Thanks

Re: Show us your projects

Man I love the COE also!

I know this build won't be for everyone

Here's my build. I'm building this for my wiife. I have a real nice 3 window I plan to do for myself once this is done on a Z06 Vette

I've had this truck for about 10 years. My plan was to build it after my 55 BelAir. Well 6 years later my 55 is done. I built it on a C4 Vette with a LS1 6 speed and love the way it drives. So I decided on this for the truck.
I sarted on in about a month ago. First two weekends I stripped the 98 C5 Vette to the frame to get it ready for the truck cab. The Vette was bumped in the front with 68k miles. Air bags didn't even deploy but it did have a salvaged title. I narrowed the frame and sat the cab on it yesterday.

Started with this


To This


To the narrowed frame


And this so far. I will take 10'' out of the front of the bed due to the shorter wheel base of the C5

Re: Show us your projects

Tuned55, I like it, and I hope that you start a build thread on here. I've thought about trying something like that also.

Re: Show us your projects

I figure I better start here, new to the forum with a new project.
It's a 1951 GMC telephone truck. I'm going to install a standard bed and take the work bed and make a rolling barbeque tailer out of it. Both the truck and trailer will lay on the ground. it will make it easier to get to the hot dogs and brew. Name:  3k83m03l15O55Z55R2abcb1f1574fbfd7169e.jpg

51 okie, I figured it would be a great trailer to have at an event where there would be a built in ice chest , gas grill, big stereo and storage for supplies. Pop the lawn chairs out and everybody could have a gathering place.
