Hi folks,

Wanted to drop a line to say hi and introduce myself.
My ride is a 1960 GMC w/ 305 V-6 and Hydramatic, bone stoke with all the available options, including some rarer ones. She getting her cost on this week and I hope to have her ready for the summer cruise season. Since it’s factory stock and not a hotrod, I suppose I don’t really fit in with this group YET.

You tube of motor run in.

However, I’m getting ready to grab a 1958 GMC Step (LOVE THAT GRILL) and hot rod the hell out it. 350/400 combo and power everything. Any others members with a ’58 and can take a peek at?

When I’m not playing with the truck I work as Supt. at a Public Water Plant. And on the side I own a custom scale modeling business.
Here is a link to see the ride and work we’ve done on models.

No, you will fit in just fine. Welcome to the forum.

Welcome. The truck looks great, as does the motor. The models are very cool. I have an Italian version, all wood planked U.S.S Constitution that I picked up, used, open, but mostly intact from a antique dealer up north, for 13 bucks! I've never worked on it, figuring I'd learn on a smaller cheaper sail boat first! I've had it for 20 years now, just bidding my time for the right amount op patience, time and space. The rigging alone looks like a night mare to do!

welcome jake and you do fit right in. great bunch of people here that will help with any questions you may have.

Hi, neighbor. Here in Slidell.
