I like the bucket seats in the cab. I'm a foot taller than my wife so a bench seat won't work if I want to keep my knees. I've been looking at buckets and split benches. Buckets would give me all the transmission space I need for a LS motor and 4L80. Yours turned out great. Love the exhaust out of the front fenders. |

I will get some more pictures of the truck at the LST show. It will be a little more complete at least from the exterior. |

The engine is a straight takeout. All I did was take it apart to paint it. That said, Diego at Desert Auto Works in Mesa, Az is my engine guy. He runs a repair shop but does engine swaps and LS builds also. He has 2 shop trucks, one is a beat up early 90s Chevy with a twin turbo LS and the other is an S10 also with an LS. I don't know which machine shop he uses, but he can do what you need. |

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
Here is my '57. It sits like this with a Jag XJ6 front crossmember and SS6 bags and out back is a torque arm setup from a 4th gen Camaro and 2500 bags. The rear has a very mild 2" c-notch. I did not want to raise the bed floor at all, because I race motorcycles and will use this to haul them and my gear. I succeeded in getting it this low without raising the bed floor.
I will be building a new frame out of 2x4 .190" tubing that will have the Jag IFS as well as a Jag IRS out back. That setup should allow me to lay the body down because the smaller frame will essentially be a 2" body drop and the IRS will allow the wheels to come up higher than the center section, allowing for a stock bed floor. http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...r/IMG_1275.jpg http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...r/IMG_1276.jpg |

Couple updated shots from Lone Star Throwdown this weekend. Got the bumper put on and the bed floor in it. Although you can't see the bed floor in the pictures.

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
When you guys are running low or aired out, how much can you turn the wheels? Or are you pretty much only able to go straight ahead? Thanks

At first we had the suspension setup where I had almost lock to lock turning while laid out. It looked goofy with the front wheelbase so narrow compared to the back though so we moved the wheels out some. |
Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59
"BIGglaSS", I can go stop to stop without rubbing with 6" wheels and 70 series tires. It's all about the offset. With the correct offset you can do amazing things with the steering.
