It worked; Cool GMC. I like those fenders. Enjoy your new project...

Hy Old coe, thanks for the pictures of your LCF (Low Cab Forward)

hi,oldcoe(LCF). I like the truck. Those swing-out fenders have to come in handy for maintenance. There's one up here in Iowa,except it's a '55 Chev.5100. No swing-out fenders. Wheels are different,too. 10-lug, 5-hole as opposed to 6-hole,6-lug.I have pic's of it on my "Photobucket" link,if you're interested. Not my truck,but if I had a shop and a donor...B.T.W...It's posted under "Trucks For Sale",as well. Please keep us up-dated on your progress! Thanks!!

Maybe just GMC had the swing out fenders?

Chevrolet didn't have the swing out fenders...that was GMC only.

As a side note, GMC had more than one front clip for there LCF offerings. Some of them had the fender extensions on the door like Chevrolet and some had smooth doors without the extensions.

Man Alive,Tri-5! I really admire your collection! just to add: Some of the big G.M.C.'s,(like crenwelge's "Old G.M.C. Arrives in Texas"(,posted here in "Big-Bolts),were equipped with a T.F.-style (of course),5-window cab! I'd love to find a cab like that,for my T.F. 6500!

Thanks Willy,

The GMC TF 5-window cab was made that way to help stiffen the cab and prevent distortion due to chassis twisting. They also added door alignment wedges which kept the doors from popping open. These wedges bolt to the inside of the cab close to the striker plate.

Please let me know if this is all thats needed to upload my Photobucket page here.

George,

Are you trying to add something to this 3 year old thread? If so it didn't work.

You need to up load your pictures to Photobucket or some other hosting site and then copy and paste the address link to your photos. See how Old GMC Gold did it at the top of this thread...

Mike B

i had the photobucket link- didnt see it there though. I also sent it to the contact addy on the site? Didnt see how to find the area of the forum to send it? can you see if the webmaster got it? If not, tell me how. thanks, George

George,

The webmaster doesn't host the pictures you do.

Do you have a Photobucket account?

If yes, click on the picture you want us to see that's in your account, then right click the address at the top of your screen and come back to this site and paste that address into a message. That's it...

Mike B

I didnt quite understand that process, but I have copied the link to the truck on my photobucket accnt. can you post them?

I dont know what category to paste my picture link in? Didnt see one for PICTURES. Newcomers? General?

Looks like you put them in General...that's good place to start!

Mike B

ok, does that mean I'm done........and will be able to see them in the photos soon? How do I find mine, by username? George

Maybe you could get the webmaster to add a link or option to the PHOTOS page/section where member could post these links to their pics instead of trying to figure out where? George

If you want to have your pictures and story in the Gallery you need to read this...

Mike B

So I sent the link w/an explanation, will they not show up? You saying I have to do more! no way.......hoping you can post those in my stuff, I'm not good with the web stuff

If you submitted them according to the instructions, they will eventually get put into the gallery.
You need to be patient. The people who set up the gallery submissions (I believe it is Peggy) do it in their free time when they're not busy living their own lives. So hang in there, and it will get in there at some point.

Sometimes it can take several weeks to get your Gallery submission entered. I agree posting photos can be a pain in the keester if you are computer challenged as I am. Be patient, they will show up eventually.

Okay ... I am here. I don't think I have any info on your truck for a Gallery story (but that color sure looks familiar). For the short term, I have added a photo link to your signature. That way you'll at least have that each time you post.

If you want to start some of the story of the truck in the Big Bolt forum (or the DITY forum), go ahead and get started and keep adding to it. Let me know when it's close enough (end me an email or PM). Send me your phone #, too so we can finish up any details over the phone.

As many have heard over and over, I have had a frozen shoulder since June. I haven't been able to do much of anything. It's only been about three weeks that I can use the computer at all. And now, I can work in here without *much* pain in my arm. So I am in a serious catching up phase. I may have to pull a few allnighters like in the old days! Man, I think I was much longer on those old days.

Always want to include those who want to be included. I somehow get started on some submissions that never wrap up.

You have two major things already there: pictures on a site and YOUR NAME!! Now we just need the story.

Ditto for Old GMC Gold!

A short story:

Found the project on Craigslist in Tampa. The seller had already installed the sbc,AT/8.8"/4.11/trac-loc rear end in the 2000 Ford Ranger Edge chassis- which came with power rack and pinion steering,4 wheel disc brakes, and torsion bar front suspension. He had also shortened the chassis about 10''s. I had to finish that rear axle modification by 'C' cutting/reinforcing the frame, installing a fuel cell, plumbing the brakes, modifying the PS, and on and on. I did all the paint and body work and sprayed it with a low gloss single stage Urethane (mint green and Wimbleton white. Installed a cut down seat out of an S10, an altered '55 BelAir dash, and Weld wheels, w/diamond plate fire wall, bed, and tail gate.
