Building this C5 5 Window for my Wife

[Tuned55]

I started this project in November. I've had this cab for about 10 years and always thought I would build it just after I finished my 55 BelAir. Didn't realize it would be this long to get to it.

I started with a 98 C5 Vette and modified the frame rail width of the Vette to fit under the AD cab.

Mocking up for the bed

I cut down a tailgate I had from a 67. I made the stake pockets similat to stack with just a little more detail






The dash was pretty beat up so I tried my skills and made this one


That's about it. The wheelbase is about 10'' shorter that a stock short bed AD
. I'll be keeping the drivetrain mostly stock. Wife really dosen't want a HotRod. Just a "Cute" old truck.
