1949 GMC Custom Pickup Truck - many mods
- Custom Classic Trucks cover truck for August 2003 “Diver Advance Design Jimmy” 1949 GMC. Being built over a nine-year period at a cost of over $200, 000 set new standards for distinctive looks and features unlike any build of its time.
- The conceived forward thinking of Del Driver made this highly customized hauler into a work of art. The extensive list of awards shows a lifetime achievement.
- Working from the ground up started by grafting a Camaro IFS front clip, boxed the rails and cleverly C-notched the frame. Camaro 3. 55. 1 differential and rear suspension assembly including the spring hangers and leaf springs.
- This gives a 11-inch-lower ride height from factory GMC but retains the full suspension travel. Stopping power is ’79 Camaro front discs and rear drums.
-The Chrome plated American Racing wheels and BF Goodrich radials 15x7 front and 15x9 rears.
- GM 350ci four-bolt main Crate Motor has Cool Flex hoses, Billet Specialties valve cover, breathers, air clean and March Performance Pulleys gleam like a mirror.
- The polished aluminum Edelbrock intake manifold with Edelbrock Performer four-barrel carburetor is the perfect touch.
- A GM 700-R4 automatic transmission with a shift-improvement kit makes for power to pavement a smooth transition.
- The hand formed Sheetmetal is in a class of its own. The Fleetside bed has been narrowed 14 inches and shortened 18 inches. The hand-built tonneau lid is all sheet metal and fully powered by a ram. Power is the key word such as windows, door locks, and engine hood! Ever see a ’49 GMC with a powered rear window? The batteries even have a state highway patrol-style jump kit.
- Starting from the rear forward on body modifications ’54 Chevy rear bumper upside-down, blended in rear fenders to bed, custom fuel filler door. The running boards have smooth look with the exhaust piping exit by the rear wheels.
\
- Chopped the cab 3-1/ 2 inches and sectioned 4 inches give a cool split front windshield.
- It took two grilles that had been widened in a stair-step fashion. The French headlights have handmade metal eye-lid shades that perfectly work the customized pancaked hood. The front fenders were widened 1 inch in the front and tapered to the rear. PPG Laser Red urethane tri-coat paint holds the show-standard shine.
- The interior is custom stitched tan European leather seat, hand formed door panels, and headliner.
- The cab floor and bed liner are in Mercedes tan wool carpet. No expense was spared in this world class build.
