I've been putting in alot of hours on the truck, problem is...... it's the work that doesn't visually show progress, but it's all about refining. One thing I really focus on at this stage of a project is checking and rechecking how everything fits together. I don't want fitment problems after the paint is on.
One part of the project I've struggled with is the front grill. Dad perefered the 55 - 56 grill, it is a nice looking grill. I struggle with the idea that it is a 57, single year for this grill. Brothers had a sale on the 57 grill, not a big savings but it prompted me to order one.
Once it got here I put the cab back on the frame and assembled the front of the truck. I don't know if the original truck parts have been distorted from the past or the new grill is slightly off but I had to spend a couple of hours getting a near perfect fit. After all the work, it's in and I fitted it so there is some adjustment when final assembly happens.
