The build thread...http://talk.classicparts.com/showthread.php?t=9530

 

Does anyone know what this bumper is off of?? It looks pretty good on there!

 

That bumper is nice too! What did it come off of?

 

My 55 1st 'burban I just picked up.

 

i got lucky a buddy gave me a frame and a camero rear end for finding him one that was all set up and powder coated

 

Hey I got your PM. I'll just answer you here if you don't mind. The bumper is off a 54 Cadillac. My GMC is sitting on a 90's s10 frame. It wasn't to hard to mount. I looked everywhere for a bumper bracket for my application, however, no one makes a bracket for a 53 GMC on a s10 frame for a 54 Caddy bumper...the BASTIDS!!! So you have to make your own. Good luck on your build.

 

Mine is gettin closer

 

Mines a '48 Suburban, 235 6 with a saginaw 4 speed. 4" drop axle with blocks on the rear. Power discs on the front too.

 

That looks killer.

 

The first images are of a buddy's truck that we built a couple of years ago. It is a '55 with a 5 inch chop. '57 Chevy headlight bezels. It sits on a S-10 frame with 18.50 M/T's.

The other truck is a '53 with a 7 inch chop, sporting a 455 Buick. The frame has been turned upside down. The rear of the frame z'ed up 16 inches. Both trucks were built by Krazy Korys Kustoms.

 

whos burban is this? im trying to find the last row seat for my 51 GMC burban.

 

My project "Popeye"

 

Here is a before and where I am now photo. I have set the 1951 GMC body on a 78 c-30 frame with 454, 4 speed and 4.10 rear, power steering and hydro boost brakes. I have included a front shot to show how the tires sit under the fenders. You can see more of this truck at the following pages

My '48 4100:

 

my 48 G.M.C. i bought it from the original owner with 62k on it. it was a 1 ton, i changed the front axle to a 1/2 ton and the diff to a 9'' ford. its got the 9 foot box complete with grain shoot that i'm planning on making puke cans of beer from a coleman cooler.

 

Here's one of the many in my old man's collection. He has at least 1 of every body style from 47-87. Most are not this nice.
It's a 54 with a factory installed Hydramatic (sp?) behind the factory 235. The pedal car in the back end belongs to my 2 year old nephew who is now obsessed with "hot rods".
