As most of you know I’ve been restoring a 1960 GMC Pickup that went under in Katrina. Well, the wife and I got to talking Sunday and she explained that since the truck would have to do another off frame, and based on the time and money it would take, why don’t I just find one finished and shine it up, so thats what I did. Take a look at what she let me buy today.
Some might ask how this is BB related, it easy, now I can spend time on SHIP MODELS instead of working on a truck! It will be delivered from Oregon in about 12-15 days. in order to make is a tru '60, I have to change the hood, tailgate, rims/tires and bring the stance back up to 16". I can’t wait to drive one vs. just look sad as they pass by.
Sweet! I’ve always liked the looks of GM and Chevy trucks, especially the ones from the 50s & 60s. I’m glad you’re raising the suspension, as I don’t like lowrider trucks.
I was working on one when the storm hit. I ordered the correct hood and tailgate replacement parts from a resin company. However I will probally try to scratch build a block for the motor in the general ship of the V-6. My truck will be painted like the following picture.
