That's pretty cool. I love the born free logo.

Re: GMCDAC's GMCs
 

Thanks, Barry, those logos are plastic and all 4 of them are perfect. There is a lot of work to do besides getting the truck running so most of the camper work will probably happen next year.

It has electric brakes, some extra wiring and a GMC specific bumper I have to build before it can be loaded. It came off a later model Dodge truck. Uncle Jim said the camper is free but you gotta build your own bumper! It uses a ball to "boomer" it to the truck along with some heavy "sockets" that act as guides for mounting tubes.

This is the bumper from the Dodge.

Re: GMCDAC's GMCs
 

Hi everyone, earlier this week a friend of mine, the person I got my '55 GMC from, gave me this under dash tissue box holder with the condition that I put it in the '55. Well yeah I told him but my condition was that the bowtie had to go in favor of a GMC logo! He agreed so I un-bowtied it and made GMC stickers to make it look right tonight. I had the old vinyl cutter running anyway to make some other stickers so while it was on I built these up and made a couple. I probably won't get a chance to install it until next weekend. I'm hoping to FINALLY fire up the '72 Monday and get it out of the shop for awhile.

This logo was a '47-early '55 one but it seems that when needing a round logo GMC still used this one from '55-'59 also.

Looks great, I have one as well but it's period correct and generic

Re: GMCDAC's GMCs
 

If you go to DAC's place, there is a building in the back, actually at the end of the driveway. Inside the building is a couple GMC's under construction and many other vehicular cool things to look at. BUT....off to one side there is a door. If you are lucky enough to get invited to go through that door, you will find a magic kingdom inside that room. And there within lies the ingenious technology and creative manipulation that produces all these cool things. It is a talent that even Payton Manning would envy!

Awesome thread and neat job on the tissue dispenser.

DAC you have some mad skills... :thumbsup:

Re: GMCDAC's GMCs
 

Thank-you sir! I would love to see a pic of yours! This one is supposed to be from the '50s or early 60's and it looks that old but sure don't know.

Bob, I read this earlier today and I am still speechless or maybe typeless??-LOL! Thank-you for the compliments, dang--getting choked up again. Ok, got it back together. Payton is a football player, right? I am going to put the pic of us here to get even. Thanks for that visit and I wish we lived closer!

I really appreciate this comment too John and welcome to the site! I'm die hard GMC guy and when Jeannie was able to take Jolly's yahoo deal and get a real forum going in early 2013, I had to be on it! The most educational site for what I do with GMC's!

Here's me and "Foley" early this summer.

I had the front painted to match the interior.

Re: GMCDAC's GMCs
 

I love it! Perfect match with the "V" in it since you have the V-6! Thanks for posting it! Would also like to see it painted?

Re: GMCDAC's GMCs
 

Great artwork Dac! Where does the tissue thing mount in the 55? Under the dash?
Man I wish I knew you did vinyl work sooner. I have a PDF to send you that might be handy for when you get a 60-66 again.
