Degsy Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I was there yesterday to see it arrive, Andy was able to drive it off the truck and I have never heard a nicer GMC engine, transmission seems good too. Just needs the usual brake work and the rest is mainly cosmetic. This will be a beauty when Andy finishes it because his workmanship on anything he does is to the highest standards.

skapunkninja Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Very nice. I'd like something like this for my next project. Mind you, the missus HATES the Jeep being parked on our driveway, wonder what she'd think of a GMC parked over her flowerbeds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadline Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 That looks like it should have a shop van body on it. Your gas tank and spare tire carrier are shop van style. Nice truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Warne Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Congrats, looks a tidy Jimmy, and it has the often missing starting handle bracket on the bumper! I recall Rex wanted to borrow mine so he could pattern it. Looks like the fuel tank is for a shop van version, and the spare wheel carrier is a little low (or maybe just not in the 'up' position)? You'll have a nice 353 A2 with a little tidying up. Homer moment! Note to self: read all the posts before chiming in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
