Hello Folks, I learned a little about tissue boxes this week. Did y'all notice 4 or 5 years ago rolls of toilet paper suddenly got about an inch narrower? And the price didn't go down, buy the way---Anyway I bought a box of kleenex for the '55 and them boxes must be about an inch shorter from when these tissue dispensers were designed too! They don't fit worth a darn, but there ain't much can be done about corporate greed I guess.

Got it in there but it may fall out at any time:-(=

I stated a few times earlier in this thread that there would be more posts about the trials we went through to get the '55 on the road. Here goes an attempt and I hope it will be informative.

Mom passed away in 2009 and I found it too hard to work on her Jimmy so I was moping around work with no truck project. A co-worker showed up at with this '55 GMC that came out of a field on a relative's property a couple months after she died. It was gonna get scrapped or given to me he said. I could not let scrapping happen so it was time to figure out how to make this truck run just for the fun of it and not worry a whole lot about making everything perfect. Right away I decided that an old ugly truck is fine, I just wanted it to run well, and stop well for now and not spend a bunch of money that I would need for the Jimmy.

It had no title but the co-worker assured me that they would get one. This was August, 2009.

Here's more pics from the day I got it, non-running, destroyed radiator, exhaust manifold, and just not looking like much potential.
