Still need the rt&ft pillar assy.
Looks like I will have to get them from Classic Chevy Trucks at 325 each side.
I got both fenders n bars for 700. 1 is a NEW fender the other is used with NO rust the grille support are used as is the latch bar.
I can how strip the both off the 78 chevy pu,n use that frame with as much steering, brake parts as needed.
Have some different ideals for the body, will explain as I try to show what I want to try to do. I have a couple of rusty fender as donners! !
Have a 55 hood that I want to try to pancake it for the 57 panel.
Will post photos tomorrow as I'm very tired tonight n still have to unload the truck tomorrow.
Just drove back today 11hr, with no C C to help.

I might be interested in the meet at Franklin In in Sept ??
Will just have to see how the budget is ! ! !

Tim, I was wondering how you made out at the swap meet. Sounds like some good score! Look forward to you build updates! Wow, Franklin IN would be a serious hike for you. Be cool if you could make it!

Boys and I stopped by a shop where a friend was straightening out the electronics on a buggered up Ram Jet. He had it running in a little bit.
