The Current Truck is a 1958, that i'm making into a 1956-55 patina, because i like the single headlight more, I was going to be use a Fleetside box for the orignal pan for the truck but had to go out the window because of the rear end..

The truck got a LQ9 this time and i'm going with a C4 front suspension, and chassis is..

Update on the current build
Ive made complete custom chassis for this truck because I wanted to go with something different and better handling,
So the chassis is retangle tube, thats got one dog leg in in for the rear, which is got a 2018 Mustang IRS rear suspension, Oringally wanted to go with camaro bceause wheel bolt patterns would match. but than run into the issue of the driveshaft, connection and width which is why i want with a Mustang rear end because factory five makes connection to fit to a normal driveshaft. So in the mustang went, its also about the right width too, So i thought...

The front suspension i went with Flatout C4 front because i got a great deal for the front and had a mustang 2 in the last truck adn didn't like the way it handled. so thought c4 was the way to..

The tank is a tank sinc which fits our truck great, see now they got a middle fuel fill which wasn't an option when i started..

Heres the pics and i'll update more too with write up.. I"m also posting up a video on youtube to of the build...
