I dig the Mobsteel wheels. IMO they fit the well worn look of the truck a little better.

Been offline a while but busy! Got all the sound deading insulation and carpet down. Took some time but for my first try at it I am very happy with the results. Made my own trim to cover the transition to the step. Ohh and got the rear tires mocked up. The rearend is gettin a chop and hopefully be back on the road soon.

I used a carpet I found at lowes. Was not sure how to do it so didn't wanna spend slots money on expensive carpet and end up scrapin it out. The quality is not the best but I think it will hold up fine until I paint the truck.

Re: my 1955 chevy truck

The braces were not that bad I started at the back and just did sections at a time using spray adhesive.

Re: my 1955 chevy truck

Your truck DOES look great. You're trying to start a new fad, huh? Technicolor? Every body panel a different color, ha ha. Just bustin your chops, the truck looks great.

Hey, one question: why two batteries?

Really dig'n the way this is turning out.

Nothing like a BBW/fleet side slammed to the floor with massive rollers!!!

Great job so far.

***BTW - Glad you lost those "alternative" wheels you'd been rolling on ....

Looks righteous ... now I can say it: Glad you lost those chrome DUB wheels ... they did not go with your build. The solids do & the entire truck looks fantastic.

Re: my 1955 chevy truck

Killer build man. It's a lot like mine - 55/56 front sheetmetal, bbw cab, fleetside apache bed. I want to run the centerline smoothies, so it's even close there. Yours is way closer than mine though Love the way it's turning out and them back wheels... sweet.
