heyyy! I didn't even catch that that was the one delmo built until i saw the offset rear plate. She's looking REAL nice btw. I like the bbw conversion, turned out great. It's quite shiny! did you clear coat it?

Wow, very nice looking truck - nice job to delmo and you both.

I got a line on a '60 BBW cab from my neighbor for doing this swap on my '66. Problem is, I been thinking. I like the knee-knocker windshield better anyways so why not just kill two birds with one stone? lol. Good info here though!

that looks good man and the bumper too!!

If it's not to much to ask.....................

How much did you have to pay the guy and was he a body shop guy or a guy that works on trucks?
