Already done gone and went 12v. Rewired bumper to bumper. Alt w/internal reg. Drove the heck out of the old gal. Rebuild the motor this summer then drive the heck out of it again.

Great looking 57. Just went through your build thread. Somehow I missed it the first time around....

My new ride is a pretty stock frame off resto aside from a bit of extra chrome and slight lowering. Have a couple things in mind for it....

Thanks man, the tires are 255/45/20 and the running boards in the first picture are 8 inches to the ground, but the other two pictures it's more like 6 1/2. I raised the truck to give it more ground clearance

Beautiful. Must have taken a tremendous amount of work.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 
Sim6, what did you use for clear and is it glossy, matte, satin? My body guy mentioned PPG has something designed for bare metal now but so far I've left mine bare with gibbs and its doing well. If I ever use something I'd prefer not to change the look of the metal at all.

Sim6 06-08-2016 08:19 PM

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 
It was glossy lacquer clear.

Another random pic of my truck just before I do a bit of work to the front end, looks good this low but going to raise it a little unfortunately as riding on the bump stops wears thin after awhile...

I'm planning on just keeping it stock for now maybe change out the running gears in the next few years. It gets a sold 50-55 mph down hill with a tail wind right now.

Thank you Doug, I'm from Robinson and that where my truck is being stored for now as well so we're pretty darn close to being neighbors.

Do you do many car shows in the area?

Last year we made a few local shows in the area. And this year we haven't made a one. Plan to make a few before the season is over though. Or cruise nights at the DognSuds. Look for the 72 Burb or the 56 Chevy and please say hi.

Have fun with your truck. If you do a build or updates throw up a thread on it.

Awesome hopefully I'll see you at one of them, and I'll keep everyone updated.

I've done some work since my previous post, so I thought my '50 deserved another pic. It's gradually turning black, one rattle can at a time.
