Wickid 54 build

Start off by saying, truck has taken a while to get to the stage it is currently at About 2 years. With that said in those 2 years I have accumulated a good amount of tools and am ready to make some progress. The truck as of right now has been stretched through the doors 6” so it will have ample amount of leg room. I chopped it 2 ¾ which allowed me to bring the back window down to line up with the side windows. I just think it looks better when the windows are the same size. Replace all the rust spots and while repairing the firewall got the idea of matching the curve of the windshield to the hood body line. Another major thing is I moved the entire firewall back 3 or 4 inches I forgot how far it was total but all I know is I don’t have to run a recess for the motor. I have a 55 dash installed and I am building my own bed and with a few tweaks. O the front fenders I moved them up 2” by sectioning the hood and front of the cab this will allow me to run 20” wheels and still be low. But here are the pics hope you enjoy.
