Awesome truck ! My first truck was a 1952 Chevy. My dad had a 56 Chevy Napco 4x4 which was beat to a pulp. He bought it from a logger and my dad used it while we cut firewood and mini logs. It had a 265 V8 and was the Chevy teil green. This will be a great build with plenty of memories you should enjoy the rest of your life !

That'll make a great runner. My dad used to have a 55 GMC painted red. Still had the old 6 volt system in it with the push button starter on the floor.

Very cool looking '49 GMC. It's super cool that you want to get this old truck back on the road. Great stories. Love the plans to make it a work truck. Look forward to watching this one move forward. Be safe and stay well.

Awesome truck! I have a 51 that I paid $5.00 for back in 1974. Drove it home and it's still in great shape.

Thats an awesome truck! I look forward to this project! My Z71 is a 2000 I bought new on my mom's birthday, and it's not for sale and no amount of money will get it. Happy Sunday Brother!

You gotta keep the short bed on it. There's plenty of old 1 or 2 tons out there for the HD frame swap. But she's your beast and what ever you do.... I know she'll be right 😊👍 Keep it up Arco

Definitely worth making it nice inside and out and enjoyable for use in long road trips. The rat thing is played out.
@OutlawEdge Thanks man ! I'm good . Looking forward to Sturgis . I'm hopeful I'll be able to come by your place on the way back if you guys are home then. Hope you two are well.

Arco, Chevy and GMC had the gas fill on the right side of the truck from 1949 to 1955. 1947 and 1948 was under the bed.

Bad ass truck man, guns being "crazy" is what theyvwant you to think, nothing wrong with having your tools in your truck. Nah man, leave it how it is and build a frame from scratch out of rectangular tubing, keep it 4x4 and lifted, clear coat it as is.

My old man had a 57 chevy might of been a belair, he bought it brand new with his paper route money, i was born in 58 so i grew up in that car, he was going to sell it to me on my 16th birthday for 400$ for some reason he parked it out on the road one day and a guy came around the corner and wiped out the whole side of the car, he ended up selling it to a friend of his on my 16th bday for 500$, did I mention he was a fuckin drunk?

Leave the bed and the patina! It'll look stupid with a flatbed and fancy paint job on it.
