I now have a complete '53 GMC 1/2 ton project. I bought it from a neighbour, towed it home and unseized the motor 10 years ago. I removed the original motor and tranny, intending to drop in a V8, and then had second thoughts. It's been in the barn ever since. I also own a 47-50? body mounted on a 4X4 chassis, and a 47-50? parts truck(no box and cab damage). I intend to restore the '53 GMC some day, since the truck is complete and in decent shape, and use the other stuff to build a non- original, modified truck. Looking forward to being part of this site! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 | Hi Stovepipe, welcome to the 'bolt. Sounds like you've got the best of both worlds. A stocker to restore and a modifiable second one. Keep us posted on your progress and of course don't forget the pics! Jock
