Getting the passanger side ready for panel. I also caught my pants on fire!!! I'm a real dandy

Re: My 58 Fleetside
 

Old Piece cut out, new inner panel marked out

Re: My 58 Fleetside
 

The panel in before welding, cutting my knee was fun. This is the engine I'm going to stick in there till I can find a L6

Re: My 58 Fleetside
 

Ouch! be careful there 4 eyes! Lookin great!

Re: My 58 Fleetside
 

That chain lift deal puts lots of stress on everything, it would be better to use the board deal to lift at the top door sills. I wish I could make fast head way like you did on the rear corners.

Re: My 58 Fleetside
 

I think you will have too much fun with that V8 and won't want a L6. Is that a 305 or 350?

Re: My 58 Fleetside
 

Its just a 305. I've had severeal V8 trifives and just think that having a 250 or something is more.... for lack of a better word interesting.

Re: My 58 Fleetside
 

What do you mean by "board deal" And lets see some picts of your truck

Re: My 58 Fleetside
 

My cab all NAKED!!!! Ahhh

Re: My 58 Fleetside
 

More stripped photos

Re: My 58 Fleetside
 

This is what he means.
Very cheap to make and will lift our cabs with ease.
This is a 54 ford and I use the same one for my cab.
If you need a better pic let me know.
By the way nice job on your truck.

Re: My 58 Fleetside
 

Yes that is my 57. Great eye!!!

Re: My 58 Fleetside
 

I see now. Great Idea thanks I wouldnt have ever thought of that

Re: My 58 Fleetside
 

Feel free to post pics of that also. This is a truck forum, but we ALL like them shoeboxes! And Chevelles, Novas, Camaros.....you get the idea!

Got any pictures of the fleetside box?

Re: My 58 Fleetside
 

Here is the rest of the truck. It kinda looks like a gernade went off!!:ito:

Re: My 58 Fleetside
 

Tell me how to post pictures here, I'm not doing photo bucket it never works for me.

Re: My 58 Fleetside
 

The way I've been doing it is when putting a post on I click on the paper clip in the box just above where its having you type, it brings up a box and there are five boxes that have browse next to them, I click on the browse button and go to my desk top, then to my personal file, then to picts and then open the folder for the 1958. Pick the picture I want to then it takes you back to the boxes with browse, I hit browse again and it takes me straight to the 1958 folder I do that up to the five times then below the 5 boxes it says upload. Hit that and give it awhile the more pictures the longer it takes, I've waited up to 10 minutes. The last 4 I did only took a couple minutes so Im not sure what the veriable is. There might be a different way but that is how I have been doing it. Good luck
