Just got a 1937 GMC that My 10 year old and I have been working on....We will be getting it driving again to cruise till fall and then it's going to be torn apart for a real build. We already made it fenderless are just getting the grill shell located correctly and the parts are starting to pile up for a winter build.

Tons of potential there. Already a fine truck.
Welcome to the site, and thanks for posting up pictures.

Thanks, We have already removed about 100lbs of steel from the grill shell and I'm finishing the welding for the mounts tonight. Also just moved the headlights to the frame using a split D-shakle to give a vintage look that is cheap but strong. I'm thinking I will start a build thread next week...We have a Ford 9 inch/T350 and a couple engine bocks we can choose from to build this winter so it should be a blast. Much more fun than working on late model cars for sure.
