Re: Skunkswifes 55 chevy
I gotta disagree Dicer. I think skunkwerx nailed it! Patina looks great. Stance is on par. Engine is clean & classy. I'll say it again...she's a Lucky Lady to have such a clean ride!

Re: Skunkswifes 55 chevy
Fat56 I'll try getting u come pics, it's bag just like a 90's model truck or s-10, cups on the top with 1.5" spacer on the bottom. On the motor being painted, the plans r one day to take it apart,& paint the frame, suspension, in the cab&under the hood,& leave the out side rusty.

Re: Skunkswifes 55 chevy
very different and a great look!

Keep up the originality... and enjoy it!

The engine being all cleaned up brings a nice surprise to it all.

Where did you acquire the air cleaner?

Re: Skunkswifes 55 chevy
I see you got the tires from Jwalk. Did he get them somewhere local or did he have to order them? Everywhere I've asked here in OKC acts like I'm crazy when I ask for whitewalls. Thanks.

Nice tight looking system. Who makes it and where did you order it? I'm looking for a serpentine system for my big block (non billet preferred). Your truck is looking great!

Re: Skunkswifes 55 chevy
Let me first just say how awesome your truck looks... its really cool. I wanted to ask what you got your rear end out of, I know it says '69 on one of the pictures but a 69 what, and did you have to change the length at all or did you just tub the bed... how did that set up work?
