History Hot Rod truck thread!

This is a stock GMC motor....correct??? reason for asking is in all my years I've never seen one used for anything.... also. The PVC's just an owner update???? correct???

 

Local truck

 

...As far as I know, it's a stock GMC engine apparently used in buses and large trucks. It's been said that gas mileage was terrible! I've seen it in person a few times and trust me, it makes quite the appearance when it pulls into a show.

 

. My 53 I've been building. Almost finished.

 

They were/are torque. A cousin had one in a "log hauler" in Arkansas. He liked everything except the gas thingy.

I understand they would pass just about anything on the road ....except a gas station!!! ^^^^

 

Hello,

One day on our short errand days, we spotted a cool green color Chevy hot rod truck waiting patiently for the long stop light. The chromed reversed wheels looked good with blackwall tires. The stance had some attitude and it was a one time sight we had not seen before.

There are several Chevy trucks in the coastal beach areas and this was one of the newest ones we had seen on our “errand days” road trips in the area. A couple of Cameo Carriers we had seen before, but several old trucks were sighted in various parts of the harbor to the marine base to the south. This Chevy truck was a nicely finished, Stepside version and was a first for us. A digital camera, not a phone photo.

Perhaps, it is this old truck that has gone through several years of reconstruction and finishing??? YRMV

 

My 1955 truck almost finished. Ready to put miles on it.
