Good story & great pictures over on the OldGMCTrucks forum. http://oldgmctrucks.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/294006236/m/939100641
Great pictures - but there were a LOT of those ugly GMC grilles there. It took GMC until the middle of this decade to look better than a Chevy! I own a 2007 Sierra.
Better not let Zig hear you say that. And I'd agree that the 55-56 Chevy grille looks better that same year GMCs, but I like the '57 GMC grille better than the same year Chevy. Of course I may be SLIGHTLY prejudiced. But I am SURE the '57 GMC dashboard is much better looking than same year Chevy dash.
I'm kinda thinking that it took Chevy that long to start looking MANLY! Bill~ Your truck has it going on!
bill i wish i had some pics of my 59 gmc truck that i bought in highschool. it was my first truck! It was a blast to drive. I will always love that style of truck also. My ol 59 was the long 8' bed, non step side. I just have always love the AD trucks, and pasted up on that 59 to get my 52 only 10 yrs later. gonna love that GMC!!!! no offense to the chevys, but theres nothing quite like the GMC
