    Look what I picked up this weekend:D

    box and fenders in perfect shape for my 49 chevy, and a gmc front end for my 54 chevy into a gmc hot rod/ratrod/lowrider project

    did gmc ever make a curved front glass or five window?

    Lucky Dog!

    Russ, you scored big time! I can't wait to find a bed that nice for my G! Looks like a great front end as well!:D

    With the quality of work you've done on the two we know about, I look forward to seeing how your hybrid 54 turns out!
    Sorry I can't answer the window question. I believe their 54 had a solid window just like Chevy has, but of course, the 54 GMC had a much "better" grill.:rolleyes:

    Have fun with that! (Time for a bigger garage...):cool:

    Hello

    Whats the difference between a 54 and 55.1? The guy I got it from said it was a 54. I took the old front end off and put the gmc front on last week

    The car in the background is a 1967 plymouth barracuda 383BB
