I have started a new project. I have had an itch to build a 55/56 GMC for a very long time. Well the time has come to scratch that itch.
I searched for a few months and finally found one in north east Washington state. It had very little rust, an original running drive train for a reasonable price.
We made the deal and arranged for shipping. The truck arrived about 3 weeks ago.
Now the plan is to go diesel with a 5 or 6 speed manual transmission. The suspension will be 3/4 ton and the body will be left stock. Probably in it’s current condition and paint. There will be a contemporary braking system, AC and PS.
We shall see how it all works out!
