I just got some pictures of the GMC today so here is my progress. It will have a duramax diesel because as much as I love ls1s I just have to be a little different. The wheels will also be different, those are just to keep it rolling while i work on it.
A few more pictures can be found at

Looks killer, I love those trucks hammered on the ground and unchopped...
How much does the duramax weight??? You will definatly want to get it low in chassis!

love the truck - especially the front picture view

I love it. The duramax is a very cool direction, too. Welcome!

I removed all the sheet metal today and will be boxing the frame and triangulating everything. Permanent motor mounts and transmision mount will be fabricated now...I decided not to leave the wood 2X4s permanently. I bet most of us have had the seat on the frame idea a time or two. The seat is the near perfect original out of my firebird.

Hows this for a dream shop? I have competition for space as you can see.
