new guy intro to this site. i've been working on my 58 for 8 yrs, though i've owned this one for ~25 yrs.
back then it was my daily driver/work truck for my own electrical business.
bought my 1st 58 from the high school janitor back in 72.
had various 56-59 trucks since, all were dd's.
this is around 2000.
truk came from arkansas, i thought it was a good body; until i had it sand blasted.
found out it was a rusty cab, wrecked sometime in the 70s with decent front clip.
replaced floors, rockers, steps, cab corners, hinge pockets and door bottoms in & out.
58 truk had a ladder rack bolted to the cowl and the bed at one time.
the wreck that replaced the front clip also wiped out the whole left side.
a full inch of filler covered this lr fender and reshaped the lip.
