Re: 56 project
Thanks for the comments, means alot! Now I trying to figure out if I want to run a roll pan or bumper. I like the rollpan idea but I think it looks mismatched with the front bumper. I don;t know.

Re: 56 project
I found some old pics of my 49 that I sold 25 yrs ago. I found it while riding thru Nebraska 30 yrs ago. It was sitting on a farm, paid 1300. for it . Loaded my 49 pan in the back and drove it back to Wisc. I sold it when I moved to Fla. I wish I could find out if it's still running.

Re: 56 project
I HATE flames - but those look GREAT!! Understated, not taking up too much real estate, adding rather than detracting. What a great thread!

Re: 56 project
Again thanks everyone. Haven't updated in a while, I now have the bed frame built and the box is on for good! This week I'm trying to get my 1 peice windows to work smoother. Finish up some wireing for the compressor.and hopefully finish and paint my tailgate this weekend. I want to post some pics but I want to wait till my wheels come in next week. Also if you have any ? feel free to ask. I'm down to final assy and am running into things that I didn't think would effect the end result

Re: 56 project
I put my wheels on Sunday and of course that led to needing to mod my bed sides. Needed to tub them 1 1/2", I also needed to make wheel spacers to clear my bag mounts. All the things you don't think about while building. Hoping to paint my tailgate and cowl vent tomorrow. I welded my vent by cutting the sections 1 at a time to keep it from warping. It worked out good just a little push down in the center and it fell right in. Still can't get my back window in, that flat glass is a pain. If I don't get it in tomorrow I'll cut one out of plexy and tint it for now. Wheels are Foose legend 20x10 and 18x7.

Re: 56 project
Those are nice rims! I like the way your shaved cowl vent came out!
Keep up the great work!

Re: 56 project
Your truck looks great! What did those door handles come out of? They look really good and go well with the truck.

Re: 56 project
Man why did you do that to that truck? what were you thinking?lol
The truck looks great, low and nasty looking just how I like them. You did a wonderful job. Do you have a face shot of her? I would love to see it. Last edited by Kabwe; 11-10-2010 at 03:27 PM. |
