Re: How about some pics of 47-59

I do have lots of photos but they are more suited for a build thread as the truck is/was in pieces. These photos are from when i squished it back together to move, hence the bicycles etc in the bed. I have since changed the cab to a BBW , modified the firewall to accommodate the engine etc. I will start a build thread shortly (hopefully)

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Just bought a 57 truck, running a 350 / 350 auto, Camaro front end etc, I bought it from a local guy here in Australia who said he bought it from the Pomona swap meet a few years ago. i'd love to track down the builder (yeah good luck with that, but you never know) to confirm what model front end was used etc etc. I'll be definately leaving the Patina and will just be tidying up the drivetrain
Cheers!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

haha, the Rubber Duck (or as the younger ppl call it now the death proof duck) was on my boat, aptly called "the Rubber Duck" but i decided it'd look good on the truck. It took alot for me to drill two holes into a rust free 58 year old bonnet (ok ok the hood) but i love the look
regards
Tarzan

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

How cool these trucks look under construction, so easy to think we need to get them just so perfect but proves cool is still on the way to perfection.
