Re: '57 Stepside, Big Window Project
Nice looking build. It's coming along real nice. The finished project should look awesome.

Re: '57 Stepside, Big Window Project
The picture doesn't do the color justice, (the swirls are the clouds reflections) but I went and saw it in person and the darker of the two is almost black at one angle and the deepest / darkest blue I've seen when the sun hits it... I'm going with the darker of the two for the exterior and the separator stripe is a "Saddle" color for the interior. /Ken

Re: '57 Stepside, Big Window Project
Looks good! I'd definitely have to go with the grey wheels.
|
Re: '57 Stepside, Big Window Project
Looks good, I like the shiny wheels.

Re: '57 Stepside, Big Window Project
Thanks, I'm leaning towards the grey and need to decide soon. Researching sizes and offsets on here now.

Re: '57 Stepside, Big Window Project
Motor was delivered to the body shop last week.
http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/...psegemwi6w.jpg Motor is a 5.3L out of a 2008 GMC Sierra 4x4, with 88k miles on it. Actually saw it run before purchasing it so that's good. http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/...psysjfpq6g.jpg Here's some more chassis pics too http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/...psv1fve9vw.jpg http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/...psdekqgctw.jpg http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/...pswu3ds9rz.jpg Have ordered a rebuilt 4L65 for the engine. Looking at Painless's harness setup to tie it all together. |

Re: '57 Stepside, Big Window Project
I'm told Vintage Air is 8 weeks back ordered on complete AC/HTR kits for a '57 stepper... anyone have any other options... Looked at Brothers, doubtful it will fit the biill.

Re: '57 Stepside, Big Window Project
restomod has some real nice units and better options than vintage air... yet I went with vintage air because I got a better deal on it
