Hey fellows, for those of you that haven't voted. Please go to the Truck of the Year thread and vote for Black Sheep. He is in 2nd place right now, would love to see him take this win with his beautiful truck. Dan and Mircale pie, are to far back to mount a charge. The 47 to 59 forum needs this win...Jim

I have the '56 in the upholstery place, should have it back in 3 to 4 weeks due to the holidays!
After a short wait to get the material for the interior in, someone bought the whole roll that the supplier had for over a year!

Thanks for the reminder!

Aargh, they used a photo of my truck covered in dust the first time I rolled it out of the shop! :waah:

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

I started polishing again for the last couple of days. I finally got my blower belt cover done. It took forever. It started out with a heavy brushed finish, It is much more aerodynamic now.

that truck is so gorgeous, it breaks my brain.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

I've asked many on this forum about what color if at all to paint the CHEVROLET letters on my tailgate, and my 19 year old granddaughter threw out the idea of a color a bit darker than the body color. So, I ran with it. What ya think??

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

She's a genius.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3

Oops, I jumped on the AD bandwagon forgetting that this forum is for 55-59s too. Sorry Black Sheep for cheering ADs - let me amend my previous comment to say,

"Gotta be an AD-TF!"

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

Thanks Jim, I'm just happy to be one of the contenders...

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

Vote early and vote often.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

I may have to have you run some ideas by your people. They seem to make good choices.

Looks nice.

Attachment 1970661 just finished painting my tailgate.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

Colors match nice!
I don't know about you but I cannot hardly see anything past my spare tire from the drivers seat. Got to stick my head out before switching lanes. :crazy:

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

Thanks , mikebte yes it’s a little tough to see but I like the look may add a rear view mirror in the cab .

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

Of course my eye is drawn to the unfinished panel truck.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

Nice day so I ran my panel truck down to the non-ethanol gas station to add a few gallons of fresh fuel. I put some Sta-bil in it too.

While I was at it, I did a Facebook live video of the drive. Sorry about the poor video quality; I was in a mountainous area so the cell phone signal wasn't that great:

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

Nice work there Igoodso1 That truck is turning out pretty nice.

In other news I am one who voted for Blacksheep's truck as I have always liked that truck and it is a finished painted and upholstered truck that is not dated.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

Alas, no one from our 47-59 Forum won the award. But if the builds I've seen here are completed in time, next year is a lock!

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

Thanks,mr48chev, It’s been enjoyable getting the old girl back on the road, been in a lean to since 1973 . I started on full rebuild about 4 years ago .
