You gonna keep it GMC or get a hood and grille and make it a Chevy?
I have a 55 GMC panel and I have been looking for the front trim( grille and bumper) and have had no luck. At least yours came with the moustache .-KB

That is a nice truck, I have a long bed as well, thought about buying a short frame to convert, but I think we have enough shorty's blazing through L.A.

And that thing actually runs....

poured some fresh oil in it, Put a set of points in it, filled the carb up through the vent tube, pour some gas down it's throat and after about twenty minutes of coaxing she fired up. Has 45psi oil pressure. Those lifters were clanking for about 2 minutes and then shut up. Carb is shot, fuel pump doesnt pump, water pump wont turn, radiator leaks, been sitting since 1972 so it needs 37 years of maintenance done to it.

Heck I might try to save this motor....
