Hot Rods My new shop truck

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Groucho, Dec 1, 2014.

  1. I've been looking for a while now and I didn't want to break the bank to buy something. 57 GMC short bed (a bit more uncommon than the Chevy), with the typical SBC, Camaro clip for a nice ride/better brakes, chrome bumpers/grill, black plates, and a big selling point for me....a Muncie 4 speed. ( are 2 pics visible?)

    Got my vote & a 4 gear is always a plus in my world. Stance is spot on too. Very nice shop truck ya got there!

    Early 70s a friend had a 65 C-10 w/Muncie 4sp. That truck was FUN!

    Looks like all it needs is a tag and some miles & smiles added to the odometer. HRP

    Really nice, man. In my book, the '57 GMC has one of the best looking front ends on any truck, ever! Ok, maybe with the exception of the 40/41 Ford truck. In any case, I really dig that front end. Good looking truck!

    that's really nice like the stance now.
     
  12. Love the old GMCs. That outta be a great shop truck / driver. I had a 56 (Chevy) that had the same front clip mod, Bbc/4speed. Probably shoulda kept that one..
    Most GMCs years have better looking front ends- especially 57s.

    What rearend does it have?

    The grille is very cool! Those trucks have a great shape, transitional between fat fendered and the '61-'66

    Almost too nice for a shop truck. Unless you are delivery flowers or something.
