Re: '57 Stepside, Big Window Project
I have to redirect all my pics to a different host. Flickr has turned off it's sharing feature. So, I'm looking at options but I do have more pics to put up soon... Should be ordering LS3 plug and play kit from GM Performance soon. /Ken

Re: '57 Stepside, Big Window Project
I stopped by the shop Thursday to sit in the seat for the first time since 1997. Going to move the column up about an inch so the gauges will be correctly visible through the steering wheel opening /Ken

Got lots of stuff to do before summer. I don't think it will be on the road for spring cruises but maybe summer. I wish I could take credit for the work but no time to spare so it's at the shop. They're doing a terrific job. Pay as you go, so faster I pay, quicker they get done... :lol: |
Re: '57 Stepside, Big Window Project
The shop got some body work done.
New Cab Corners http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/...ps28ebf8c5.jpg Dash started with this http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/...ps23277349.jpg ... to this http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/...ps881a25c9.jpg And is all smooth now http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/...psf46453f7.jpg |

Re: '57 Stepside, Big Window Project
Just read through it all. You've got an awesome goal, and the truck is looking awesome so far. Little jealous of the jag rear end myself :metal: Can't wait to see it done.

Re: '57 Stepside, Big Window Project
Thanks, most of the major fab work is done so I should be getting it back soon to start getting it together like I want.

Re: '57 Stepside, Big Window Project
Nice work, and good looking truck.

Re: '57 Stepside, Big Window Project

Re: '57 Stepside, Big Window Project
Good question, I'll go by the shop Monday and check... been tied up with father in laws death, with before and after preparations.
I'm at the point of purchasing the drivetrain for it. GM Performance Connect and Cruise Kit (LS3 6.2 & 4L65e)... Should have it in a week or so. |
Re: '57 Stepside, Big Window Project
I stopped by the shop today. Didn't get any pictures but I have to go back this week and work on their computers so I'll get some then..
They did get some more smoothing of the body done, mounting of the third brake light below the rear window opening cut the holes for the instruments. Ken |
Re: '57 Stepside, Big Window Project
I love the look of the Jag IRS, I thought about either it or Vette, since I have a Panel truck and I didn't want to cut the floor inside. Are you thinking about airbags or is that the stance you were looking for? I know that vette irs can be put on airbags, I'm not sure about the Jag.

Re: '57 Stepside, Big Window Project
Bags aren't really option mainly because the coils would have to go away to make way for them. I like the look of the coils, plus the ride should be awesome as well. I believe the stance/ride height is going to be excellent with the static drop as it is.
Frame should be going in for paint soon and other pieces powder coated as necessary. Will be fitting the truck with new shoes shortly too. Probably go with torque thrusts or Coys (20/18) in Black Chrome maybe... saw them at Hot Rod Nats in Louisville last summer, look really nice. /Ken |
Re: '57 Stepside, Big Window Project
Stopped by the shop today to check on the old girl...
Here's some progress pics.. just about to tear down and make the frame pretty. http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/...psa240a8c9.jpg http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/...psfc885982.jpg Driver side door and fender are smooth and line up well now. Thought we were going to have to replace the fender but they got it right. http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/...psfbf88b43.jpg http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/...ps29444f06.jpg Passenger Side just about ready for primer... http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/...ps506d7d0f.jpg Here's a little fab work on the rear end; http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4087ac14.jpg http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/...ps94e4f607.jpg |
