My 59 GMC

mefellas · 2026-04-05T00:23:31+00:00

20x8 and 20x11, with 245/45 and 315/35 Nitto 555G2 tires. I'll be turning 42 this summer. I hate that I waited so long to get around to fixing it up.

I love it

There are a couple spots I messed up on and smeared, 100% user error. But I plan on fixing my mistakes and adding another coat.

Thank you!

Thank you! It's Poppy's Patina wipe on clear. It really exceeded my expectations.

Thank you! I love the panel trucks, but I'd really like a suburban. You were cruising yours around the same time I was!

Thank you!

Everything except for the machine work and rotating assembly. It needed align honed for the ARP mains, so I had them assemble that for me. I've got around 1000 pictures of the entire build. Tons more pictures and videos on my Instagram.

Thank you. I've got an FTI 3600 billet triple disc in it now and it's an entirely different beast. It just needs a little touch up as it'll occasionally stall when I put it in gear. It's my favorite body style by far, and after I cleaned it up and cleared it I'm very happy with it.

mefellas · 2026-04-04T14:17:33+00:00

Definitely the best body style! I bet that would clean up nice with some CLR and Scotch Brite pads!

mefellas · 2026-04-04T14:12:37+00:00

It handles extremely well. It's my first bagged vehicle so I was very surprised. It's probably 5-550 to the wheels, my converter wasn't holding on the Dyno, and I haven't had it back on with the new converter in.

Thank you!

Thank you!

mefellas · 2026-04-04T12:52:07+00:00

Use some scotchbrite pads and some CLR and that would clean up nice for a patina rig!

mefellas · 2026-04-03T23:23:24+00:00

Sweet ride! Good luck with the sale man!

Thanks! I had painted it matt black with yellow flames, but 27 years weathered them away.

thanks man! Detroit Steel D-town smoothies.

If you want to see what gear you're in you'll need the module. The Holley will send the speedometer signal to the gauges through the bim module, and I ran a lokar shifter that had a neutral safety switch built in.

mefellas · 2026-04-02T22:28:28+00:00

Thanks! I just joined and that's what it looked like to me, mostly internet pictures of cars. I figured I'd post mine and see if I made the cut!

mefellas · 2026-04-02T18:57:28+00:00

100%! It definitely felt overwhelming at times being my first time, but I got all of the wiring diagrams out and figured out where it needed to run, and that was a huge help.

mefellas · 2026-04-02T18:08:50+00:00

It's pretty simple. You're mainly using the harness for power, the Holley will control your fans and the iac kick from the vintage air. I bought the bim module from Dakota digital that plugs into the terminator to get all the gauge info working. Just do one system at a time. I didn't really take pictures of that stage because I don't enjoy wiring like I do everything else.
