Are you going to bring that truck to the Back to the 50's Show? I am building a similar set up and I'd love to pick your brain. You did a good job.

This is my 1948 Chevrolet "National" hearse.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

I'm a newbie here, but not a stranger to other car/truck threads. I just wanted to chime with a pic of my 59'. It's gone through a few changes. First phase, Pro street with a 455 Olds. 2nd phase was a hot rod truck, with a straight six 235 first then a 454 second. Now its a custom, and that's my style anyway.
There are a lot of body tricks to it, and it's do for 5 more major surgerys before paint. Well there are some awesome built trucks here, and I'm going to enjoy conversing with you guys. "Hep"

The late-great "Larry Watson", himself! Miss him ALOT! What a hell of a great guy he was.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

So this is a shot of the interior, (unfinished of course.)

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Thanks. You just don't see that many original. I bought new wide white walls for it, just need to spend some time

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Here's my 52 truck (in the background) motors almost ready to be dropped in, have most of all my parts, just not enough time in the day. Hope to have it ready in 6 to 7 months. Work sucks, working on hot rods is fricking fun.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

292? man 6 cylinder motors are so sweet

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Just got this as a trade for a 64 panel. It's going to be 70's style build.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Someone replaced the original motor w/ the 250 so I thought, what the hell. I would have liked it to been the 292. Cheaper to rebuild what I got.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

I see you're relatively close to me in Riverside. May I ask who did the Mustnag II installation? I also have an ididit column still in the box, not planning on air bags but I suppose you never know. I'm looking for someone to install mine (Fatman Fabrications kit) who is conscientious but won't charge me an arm and BOTH legs!:lol:

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Dan, here you go "teds rod shop" in riverside owner "Eric" 951 785-8337 guy has motor oil in his veins, solid guy!!.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Just finished a re-do of the interior......

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Is that leather or vinyl? I like it, looks fantastic!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Genuine Saskatchewan naugahyde - yep its vinyl but it sure looks like leather..........and it feels not too bad either.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

That's awesome, I was stuck on getting my seat done in leather but yours sure looks good!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Looks good. I've used the hides from TX nauga's before on a seat. I'm sure they are kin to the Sask ones ...

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
