Fleetside Pics??
 

I am searching for a thread with a 58 59 fleetside on the forum. It is lime green and i think the guy only has the bed and front cradle painted. Thank You for the help

Spike,
Did a search and found your truck. Impressive as hell. Are you a previously experienced auto painter or is the vocational class your only experience? If so, you've got chops. VERY nice Viper green

Re: Fleetside Pics??
 

is there anyplace that makes aftermarket bedsides for the 58-59....the fleetside version???

also, can a 59 chevy grille be swapped onto a 59 GMC?

Re: Fleetside Pics??
 

sadly, no. unfortunate too, because they would also fit panel truck quarters too.

thanks Dan, I am experianced only in that i am a hobbyist and have painted about 10 cars in the last 25 years.I take the voc class to help keep me going on my project and to use the spray booth. I have flaws in all my paint and body work but would like to think i do a little better each project.I saw the lime green paint on a car last year at back to the fifties car show and the guy was really helpful in letting me have the paint codes,so the next week i bought the paint and painted the box,and have slowly been priming and sanding the rest of the truck.Hope to get it all painted in the next 2 months.Thanks Mike

does anyone know where i can get a pair of taillight buckets for the fleetside?

Re: Fleetside Pics??
 

Gimme a few day, gotta search for it in my stuff. I MAY have a set hiding somewhere. I heard that the LED option you don't need the buckets ( I don't know how true that is though)
