A Cool Old Truck

Tom Beasley's

1939 GMC 1/2-Ton

13 December 2004

From Tom:

Here are some pictures of my project / money pit. It's a 1939 GMC 1/2-ton Tom Beasley Street Rod, LT 1 motor, 4L 60 E transmission, custom frame, C 4 Corvette suspension front and rear, custom gas tank, radiator and other items, Ron Francis wiring.

This started out as an old truck body with no engine and no drive train. Fortunately, the body was rust-free but a tree had fallen on the cab.

Through several years of anxiety, sweat, money, money and more money, the truck has reached its current state of a work in progress. I have driven it about 6,000 miles to make sure all systems are functional. Some day, it may acquire paint that is all the same color!
