Starting to assemble shortbed on its shortbed chassis. Made some steel spacers 1”x1/2” for the bed sides to sit on. No more wood bed floor!

Re: My 1960 cardinal red Chevy longbed “survivor”

The shortening of the sides looks great.
I'm curious to see how you repair the frame horns.

Re: My 1960 cardinal red Chevy longbed “survivor”

Interesting find on the steering wheel. Less dish, but not overtly obvious.

The 16” wheels and the stance are killer!

Everything looks perfect as is.
Put a white front bumper on it and the outside is done. Beautiful survivor!
