Sounds like the ride I'm building now...
51 GMC = ton extended cab w/ doors, chopped and sectioned, zee'd frame
(full custom frame), Jaguar XJ6 front and rear suspension, 00' Mercedes
headlights, integrated bed (like a El Camino), fade away fenders, 16"
wheels, haven't decided on the taillights yet but I'm leaning towards
Chrysler's intrepid units. Paint to be silver metallic with a front to back
American military flag (yellow piping) done in pearls. Oh, yeah the motor is
to be a Buick Nailhead 322 or 401 (got both can't decide).

Subject: [oletrucks] Thanks! WOW!!
Man you guys have some nice rides<the ones I`ve seen so far>
Joe I really like
the chopped look! and Tom the 3/4 is right up my alley.
Let me give you a little info on what I have in mind,and joe
you help will
proably be needed here, I thinking total custom>>and some of
this may not be
worth the effort,so chime in and tell me your thoughts!
What I want is the old look with all new teck stuff,such as
new gen big block
with auto tranny, buckets new suspension and club cab?
interior will all be new gen stuff>> looking to build a
"diffrent" Truck for
Show and Tow. I will use it to pull my 67 SS to
shows>>>and why not show the
Tow vehicle, while your there?
Of course I want all the creature comforts Power
steering,AC, disk brakes.
Question can the ole bodys be sit on new Gen. truck running
gear,or do I have
to modify the ole truck to fit? I don`t know a thing about
these trucks other
than I like them>>
Oh yes, My uncle has My Grandfathers 48 3/4 ton in a shed,I
may see if he
might agree to let me work with it.
