Cab work finished for now. Put the cab back on the frame and I was worried about how it would fit with the engine clearance. Worked out just fine. Don't pay any attention to the cooling fan I was using, it worked just fine except I couldn't drive it any farther than the extension cord would let me.

Next thing was to install the new gas tank. I am putting it behind the rear axle. It is a 20 gallon tank. I think I will need it with the engine I am running.

I also installed a fuel filter just off the gas tank. I put shut off valves on both sides so when I replaced the filter, I could close them so I wouldn't loose any gas between the tank and the engine.

The seats that I ordered came out of a 2002 Chevrolet Malibu. When I got them the drivers seat had a tear in the back. I am having them re-upholstered anyway so that is not an issue right now. The drivers seat is a 6-way power heated and the passenger is a manual heated. My wife didn't like the fact that she did not get a power seat, but when she gets in, there is no reason to adjust the seat a lot anyway.

I bought a '57 donor truck to get good fenders and doors. Now the work begins on them.

Re: 55 Chevy stepside project
