The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Panels 'N Burbs 1949 GMC Carryall better late than never

It's been a long road to get to final paint, but I'm here. This is a basket case style rebuild/restoration and now I am to point of the fun part, Reassembly!

Take a look at my photo album. It's not in order but you will get the idea.

Here are some basics;
1949 GMC Carryall, barn door style
12 volt with generator
GMC 270 fresh rebuild, mild cam and single barrel Zynith Carb
New process GM A833A .72 overdrive trans
1956 Chevy truck 3:90 rear end
53 front and rear axles to get Bendix Brakes all around
Dual Master brake cylinder upgrade
Roller bearings upgrade for front end
New repro original style gas tank from Jim Carter

Of coarse all new brakes, hardware, springs re-arched, new shackles, new exhaust, rebuilt steering box, new radiator, ect ect ect.

This will look like a all stock Carryall when finished. I have the optional side mount bullet style turnsignals, Thanks Tim L. and accessory fog lamps to finish off the exterior when I get to that point.

Enjoy the photos!

Congratulations, Phillip

You'll have fine cruisin' machine.

Please have someone take a picture of the SEG on your face during the first ride.

A very nice ride indeed. The hard work really shows. Drive with pride, you did it.

Thanks guys! Alvin and Tim, you both have been an inspiration for me and this project. I have studied and looked at both of your photos many many many times over the years.

Nice truck. I like your choice of engine/tranny. That ought to be a sweet running combo.
