Re: New member with a 1960
We are going to cut/buff, I am really liking the gloss though, once its all together, the new chrome installed, and the tinted windows are seen I think it will POP

Re: New member with a 1960
Beautiful, usually I'm not a fan of clearcoating patina, but on this truck it looks perfect!

Re: New member with a 1960
This is the bracket pictured earlier to help increase belt wrap, we are hoping to eliminating slippage!

Re: New member with a 1960
I hope everyone is having a great day....we are seeing some beautiful days here in western NC!
We tucked the bumper in somewhat, installed the inner fenders, gaskets etc, I am a bit concerned about the amount of belt wrap on the alt/PS pulley, we may make a idler pulley to increase wrap...and the bottom pic....SCORE LOL I am going to run the big trailer tow mirrors just like it has on it, they were on it when it left the farm, but my buddy ran across these at a yard sale, still in the box..... we may have to switch out the mirrors! SCORE SCORE SCORE

Re: New member with a 1960
I absolutely love the look of those west coast style mirrors! Now you've got me thinking that I need a set like that!

Re: New member with a 1960
love the truck every time you post it, but that gas cap! That thing is pretty cool. I can't seem to find one stamped like that on the interwebz

Re: New member with a 1960
They came from a vendor up north, I think I mentioned the vendor name somewhere in the thread, they fit great!

We really played around with lots and lots of ideas....one of my close friends makes some cool lamps, tables, belt buckles etc out of old car parts, literally I'm leaning on the side of the truck just looking at this open hole absolutely lost about what to cover it with..... I didn't want to weld it up solid, didn't want a beer holder, no keg handle...I'm at my wits end trying to figure it out when my garage door opens up and its my buddy who just got back from salvaging for car parts and antiques, he exclaims "look at this dang belt buckle I found" and its the horn button....he says "would this not make the coolest belt buckle" when he got close enough to where I could see the size and shape he was explaining to me how he was going to make it into a belt buckle, I so rudely interrupted him....."that's not a belt buckle, that's my gas cap" it fit perfect, we have laughed and laughed over that many times!
