One Of My Holy Grails Found!

[oldcarfan]

I've been looking for a 1955-1957 GMC conversion for a while. I've searched eBay off and on for a couple of years and tonight I found one at a good price and jumped on it. I can't tell much from the picture but decided to take a chance. Here's a screen cap.

I was looking at that same one. Please let us know how it is when you get it.

I think he's selling multiples of it. The last one I found went for twice the price, so I'm happy.

Just now I realized I need to buy another '55 Chevy truck. I forgot I built the last one a while back.

I think that one is a poor recast of the Shawn Carpenter conversion kit.

I don't like to buy recasts, but since it hasn't been available for years, I took a chance.

 

[glusnifr]

i agree on not buying recasts ,but ive been trying to get this for years and i think its the only way to get one

Did anybody follow through and buy one of these conversion kits? If so, what is the quality like? I know this is an old thread - kinda surprised there is no feedback on the item..

[oldcarfan]

Sorry for the lack of follow through. I got the parts and then set them aside, then promptly forgot where I put them. Anyway, here they are. Not too bad, but it looks like they will need some clean-up. The dash in particular is pretty rough. I'm thinking they are a repop of the original which is pretty much unobtainable. It's one of those things I bought to build later.
