sorry Robert I disagree as the major parts are there....the chassis, spare wheel mount and rear body. The rest is mainly the same as the more common LWB 353 GMC CCKW. Does he have the large behind cab fuel tank?

Cliff, looks like he already has another 352. Look in the background of the 2nd. photo. There is a more complete 352 there, complete with the fuel tank.
regards Rick.

The one in the background is a cut down long wheel base that is actually 6" shorter than a short wheel base. It was cut down years ago to cart mine props. Kevin has found another long chassis and is planning to move all the parts over, at the moment it has a chevy 292 under the bonnet.

When I was there in 1976 he had a nice original open cab GMC CCKW he had bought from the Tumut electricity board . He was planning on shortening it to work in the bush to collect mine props . That truck might be the one I spotted all those years ago.
I always wondered what the props were used for ?? Mike

If this one turns out even half as good as the Dodge, it will be fabulous.

Hi Mike, aparently it is a three dip process, one dip to remove the paint, second dip removes the rust and the third adds a protective coating.
