I was able to have my GMC 450 delivered to Blaine at the beginning of March, then home on the back of a tow truck. I haven't been able to do a thing to the truck since it landed but I'm hoping to get to work on it this summer. It's a 1957 GMC 450, 347 Pontiac engine with a 5 &2 and custom cab. Being an ex firetruck in rural Missouri it has very low miles. Here's some photos.

Any thoughts as to how you will finish off the rear ? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 70 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 70 | I'm going to build a flat deck for the rear, new tires right away and a safety inspection so I can get it licensed. My plans are to do cosmetic refurbishing for the time being and a more intensive restoration as time allows. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 139 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 139 | That beast has got some "road warrior" attitude, I love it!
Can't wait to see it. That interior color combo looks like it's right out of the same era Bel Air, very cool and unique. It'll make a great flat deck or chop the frame and make a large p/u truck, either way a great find.
