Re: 1959 fleetside build
The wife and I are taking off in 2 weeks to take in the Viva Las Vegas show so I am guessing that will light even more of a fire under my ass to get it finished. I'm shooting for Mid May to have to it done and ready to roll again

Re: 1959 fleetside build
Finally got a chance to go out work on the bed. I got the hinged bed floor figured out. I just wanted a simple hinge that did the job. I went with a helm joint set up.

Re: 1959 fleetside build
I just love the look of this entire build. What do you plan on putting for the bed floor?

Re: 1959 fleetside build
thanks guys.
255/60/15 were the tires before the white walls I am some 10" boards across it, no strips, and screwed from the bottom so you see no bolts. atleast that's the plan now. it may change.

Re: 1959 fleetside build
sweet ride man. Just read all the way through. Are you planning on leaving it patina'd or painting it? Have you got the engine running yet?

Re: 1959 fleetside build
thanks. all the rust will be repaired but leaving the patina on the outside. working on cab corners and rockers now. I am going to try to match the blue and fade it in.

Re: 1959 fleetside build
Finally got some time to work on the truck. I replaced the rockers on both sides (Spot welds on these trucks sucks) and I got one cab corner in. Hopefully this weekend I will be ready to take the cab off and clean up underneath and sandblast the interior to prep for paint.
