The O'l 55-72 pickup

I met this guy in St Augustine about a year ago and just found the pictures. I think I had posted them here at that time. I just posted under General but should go here also.
As I remember the Chassis was 3 inches longer. He had more of a gap between the cab and the bed than normal. I think I would move the cab back a couple of inches if the radiator would fit without moving the motor back also.


CLICK HERE for pictures!

He used 4 inch riser blocks under the cab to make it look stock.

That is an interesting idea. I can't say I have heard of that before.

Yeah, got a '74 under my '58 31 Apache. But the rearend was moved forward about four inches to get the wheelbase correct.

Thanks for the photo.
