What size tires and wheels you running? Look's like my truck just without spinners. I saw your truck somewhere else but, the pictures went blurry when I enlarged them... glad to finally see a good picture of it. Super looking truck, awesome patina.

Another nicely done AD ... those style wheels do tend to really stick on these trucks.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Nice truck. Looks very clean. I'm running similar wheels but mine are a matte black finish.
I like what you've done so far.

Keep it up.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

this is turning into the 54-55 bed blog!! I like that truck though. personally I don't like the flat rails, those beds don't make sense to me on all the curvatures and then those are flat on top, it just doesn't flow well for me. anyway all nice trucks on here that is for sure.

Beautiful truck. You have done an excellent job on both the exterior and the interior. You should be proud of your self and your truck.

My seat came from a 2003 gmc safari van....I think the 3rd seat..it is narrow and that is what you need for these trucks...the armrest are perfect...really comfy on a trip...I love it...

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

53chevyforever: Nice truck, I like the black. My rear bumper is also from a '54 which gives you the bent over middle for the license plate. There are several vendors for them. About $150. Hopefully not breaking any forum rules by posting this link...
