Getting close on the '49...

Well, after a crazy holiday season filled with in-laws and several illnesses, things are finally getting back to normal.  Progress is once again being made on the GMC.

The front suspension is completely welded in and done.  The inner fenders had to be modified a bit to clear the spring towers as well as something had to be done with the large hole left for the original steering box.



It's really starting to look like something when the sheet metal came be put back on...


The final part for this project is mounting a spare tire.  Since the original mounts are virtually impossible to find and that the angled bed sides had the tires mounted underneath, it's just easier to make a mount.  Plus, this allows for a larger tire.



With the mount made, it's time to start cutting on the fender...
