1959 Fleetside Begins Finally!!!
Hello All,
I have been grounded for 5 days now @ 45, who does she think she is! I have been reading post off and on for 4 days so I thought I would start my tale. Heres my storie..... I bought a truck about 4 years ago to help me get stuff from home depot for our house expansion. It is a 1959 fleetside 3200. It was a good truck til a couple of months ago when the cam snapped (I think). It is a 350/350 change over. I have been collecting parts for several years.... 1959 impala dash with 1956 belair steering wheel but now I seen someone has done it here too LY6 from a 2007 Silverado 2500HD 6L90e from the same Mustang II front end several body mod to clean up power latches on tail gate custom bumpers? Prowheel X5's 18x8 and 20x8.5 Two tone paint --Blazin copper w/ golden almond (champagne) --root beer brown w/ golden almond or tan I will be starting in february after the fireplce mantle |

Re: 1959 Fleetside Begins Finally!!!
Close its a 38 2door sedan. That was to be the next project til the truck broke down. Going to be a 1" section and a 1.5" chop with 2" wider rear fenders. But Can We Say ON HOLD, ON HOLD And ON HOLD.
