Decided to modify the front of the box. Now I need to work on front stake pockets and bed rail at the back. Still eyeing up the rear of the truck. May do something with the tailgate yet.

I also found a video of the engine on the test stand. I'll see if I can post it on here. I am having issues as it will only let me put on one photo at a time.

Really like where you headed on this build. I have been off my truck for the last year, but have started back now, with a few changes from original plan. I wanted to do a 59 dash, but have yet to find one. I do a have 55 dash and may go with it. Keep up the good work.

Gave up on trying to post engine test run video on here. Very frustrating. Anyways, the newest toy showed up and it is that time of year. Truck days will be few for the next six months. No turbo for the sled this year. I am getting too old.

You're truck looks great! Great ideas and details. I sure wish you'd park that sled and stay on the truck. Post em' when you can. Good luck going forward.;)

SSABMUD, looks great. I love what you did with the front of the bed. When I do my 54 truck the front of the bed will be like that. Nice job on the roof also,it is really coming along.

I ruptured a disc in my back where all the fluid ran into my spine about four months ago. I have been taking it pretty slow but have finally recovered enough to start back on the truck last week. You know how you stare at something you did for a long time then decide to change it? That is what I have been doing. I will get some pictures up soon. Wade

I am absolutely in love with this. Looks real good, man. Are the rear fenders fiberglass or steel? And who makes them? Thanks.

Thanks Wybrow. The fenders are fibreglass and are made by Superior Glass Works.

Thanks for the comments guys. I would like to say I hurt my back lifting 250lbs or ripping it up in bed with the wife, however I hurt it catching a frisbee in a lake. Caught me by surprise for sure. I had a lot of time to think about what I am going to do to this truck.

Looks much cleaner. Now I need to fix up the stake pockets which look terrible here, and recess tail lights deeper.

Getting very close to taking all apart and blasting that frame, boxing it, and getting it coated.
