Here is the better side. I can't wait to drive this truck. Also working on the fuel injection for this truck, using 1990 gmc van tbi system, building harness, fuel lines, should work real good, better than the old carburetor way.

The rims are from a 71 Chevrolet Chevelle SS that I had years ago. I put them on to see how they look., I'm kinda liking them now.

I see you have installed power steering, moved the shock from front to back, but what is the yellow bar running from the spindle to frame???

The Yellow Bar is my floor jack handle. A while ago I posted on youtube couple of short videos of the truck. Search for: 53 chevy pickup 001 build and the other one: 53 chevy pickup 002 build 283 running. Power steering was pretty easy to install I purchased the kit from Classic parts, the steering column is the stock one cut down and machined a double d end for the steering joint. here are some photos of the power steering install. I cut off the lower steering arm with a hack saw (the black painted one).

I like those trucks. Any old pickup is cool. The top photo is the day I bought it 12/24/79. The bottom one was early summer of 1980 when I got it running. I was 18 then.
