This is on a Stepside.
My Dad made this for a customer.
It is a Fuel Door from Williams Street Rod Parts.

The Stepside Truck has a Fuel Cell in the Rear.

1Bad62,

Got any further away shots of the back end of that yellow truck's bed?
I think I like where this is going.

I kinda like what fuelpump did to his truck.
The grille teeth are Corvette, the spots are are just dummy aftermarket units
and the parking light bezels are cover with a metal mesh.

Opinions??? I think he really went a over board with the flames. Great stance, good looking wheels, nice tail lights, just not diggin the tail gate at all and too much billet. Side shot of this truck is awsome!!! Just my two cents.

I agree as well on those points.
I do like suttle pin striping though.
Not realy digging the inner bed and door pannels either.
I really like the wheels and tire combo.....
And the Tail Lights!!!!!!!
I'm leaning more and more to doing that to my truck.

No offense, but yeah ditch the roll pan!!!
I wish I had a bumper...Ha! I'll be buying a new one soon
(after the truck gets painted).

I don't like inner bed and door pannels either. Too many flames
...and like I said I don't care for the billet.

Question fellas,

Would the dual head light bezel off a 1960-1961 fit on a 62 grille?

My guess would be no.... but I'm sure it could be "customized"... :)
