I acquired this truck in September of 2008 and as of now is scattered throughout the garage. I am pretty much down to the frame and starting to clean and make a wish list. I'm sure you all will have a few questions thrown your way. My wife has been keeping a blog on the project and you can check it out at www.roadhoag.blogspot.com I look forward to visiting with you all and would like say that this is awsome and I am impressed with the wealth of information on this site. Thanks

If your going to be in town next weekend, and it's not for the swap you should swing by. Shrine Swap Should be a bunch of old truck parts, our club (the one Ed mentioned Genuine Chevy GMC Truck Club of KC) will have several spaces of members parts. Would be a good chance to get to know us and figure out if you want to join up. If you'd like feel free to give me a call on my cell 816-564-8453 when you get to the swap. Maybe we can talk trucks over a nice fat turkey leg... Old vehicle Parts, Meat on the bone, good company, god bless America!!

I have a CNC sheet metal fabrication business that I run so that I can afford to play with my old GM toys. I joined this site because my latest venture includes converting a '39 GMC AC303 into a vintage wrecker. I have designed a bed and boom on my 3D cad system that looks like it was built 70 years ago.
This site seems to be a smorgasboard of information, and everyone seems to be helpful and friendly. Thanks. I was wondering if anyone might know where I can have modern 19.5" tubeless rims
retrofitted to my stock 5-hole wheel centers. I'm surely not the first guy who has tried to do it.
I'll post some photos as soon as I figure out how to do it. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 | Welcome to the site, you could say it's a smorgasbord here, but it is organized. Take the time to check out all the forums and see where you need to be. I am confident that you will be able to find what you need, even if it is old. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Welcome Kardude67: sounds as though you have a plan. Some pics will be nice and good luck on the project.
I'm sorry I can't personally help you on your questions but I know there are some people who can. I would suggest posting this in the Engine/Driveline forum for more responses.... | | | | | Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 8 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 8 | Thanks for the heads-up. I need to spend a little time getting to know my way around this site. | | |
