Any of you have this on your truck? http://www.flickr.com/photos/ajporsche/8538771545/ thanks, ~OldDawg OldDawg ---------------------- 1949 GMC 1 Ton 250 http://www.flickr.com/photos/ajporsche/sets/72157632234070092/ http://www.redbubble.com/people/olddawg/collections/328455-vintage-car-and-truck-shirts 1954 GMC 1 Ton 250 (Sold) http://www.flickr.com/photos/ajporsche/sets/72157640409893304/

Looks like also missing some sheet metal that goes in front of it. •1951 GMC 250 in the Project Journals •1948 Chevrolet 6400 - Detroit Diesel 4-53T - Roadranger 10 speed overdrive - 4 wheel disc brakes •1952 Chevrolet 3800 pickup ---All pictures--- "First, get a clear notion of what you desire to accomplish, and then in all probability you will succeed in doing it..." -Henry Maudslay-

I don't have any GMC pictures handy, mostly I play with the Chevy's. •1951 GMC 250 in the Project Journals •1948 Chevrolet 6400 - Detroit Diesel 4-53T - Roadranger 10 speed overdrive - 4 wheel disc brakes •1952 Chevrolet 3800 pickup ---All pictures--- "First, get a clear notion of what you desire to accomplish, and then in all probability you will succeed in doing it..." -Henry Maudslay-

I definitely don't have them. Pretty interesting.

Find them used, haven't seen new and wouldn't expect to. •1951 GMC 250 in the Project Journals •1948 Chevrolet 6400 - Detroit Diesel 4-53T - Roadranger 10 speed overdrive - 4 wheel disc brakes •1952 Chevrolet 3800 pickup ---All pictures--- "First, get a clear notion of what you desire to accomplish, and then in all probability you will succeed in doing it..." -Henry Maudslay-
