Re: Out of Hibernation...... With Pics!
Pretty nice looking truck,I like the seat cover too. I also like the coke cooler. I have 2 "generic" metal coolers I picked up on ebay cheap. I painted one to look like a coke cooler-I keep all my cleaning supplies in it that I take to car shows,it's a little more interestinfg than a rubbermaid tote. The other I fixed up like a vintage Dr Pepper cooler,it's for drinks(in glass bottles)

Re: Out of Hibernation...... With Pics!
Lovin' the coolers 69lemans! I've been looking for one for the past 6 months but all the local coolers are pretty pricey. Still holding out...
![]() EDIT Can someone post the dimensions on their coolers?

Re: Out of Hibernation...... With Pics!
Nate,
Mine Coke cooler is 19" high, 13" deep, and 18" wide. It's a bit bigger than I expected. I also had the idea of an old black lunchbox for tools. That way, it could ride shotgun and look completely normal/old school..... 69Lemans, That Dr Pepper cooler is beautiful! I figure since my truck isn't nothing to look at, I'll take the cooler along to shows as an interesting prop. BUT, I have a couple old Coke and Kickapoo Joy Juice bottles that would look really trick sitting on the cooler in the bed! An old guy once told me, "If you don't have a show vehicle, at least make it interesting to look at!" Thanks for the idea!!!!

Re: Out of Hibernation...... With Pics!
Looks great. I have never been a big fan of stepsides but that is the nicest one I have ever seen. The steering wheel looks great, as does the pinstriping, and the cooler is flat out awesome. I will have to get something like that for my 37 Chevy truck.

Re: Out of Hibernation...... With Pics!
Great job on the truck Doug. I really like that stance! Can't wait till the weather warms up so We can get a few of the trucks around here together at a cruise night.

Re: Out of Hibernation...... With Pics!
Doug, the wheel and glovebox look great! such a good looking truck, glad to see some updated pics. What's the details on your drop again? I'm thinking the wife's truck might need to get down that low.

Re: Out of Hibernation...... With Pics!
glad to see you got the ol' girl out on a nice day.
Any chance you guys could convince Jill to join us at either the camping meet or the All Truck Nats? I'd like to get some lines done on the '50. |

Re: Out of Hibernation...... With Pics!
Chris,
My drop is the final product of several attempts. I can't remember how many times the front was completely tore down, checked, put on the floor, then checked again. If I didn't like that, then back on jack stands it went. I guess that's why my back has killed me all winter! front: -Summit 3" drop coils for 73-89 GM trucks with a half coil removed -McGaughy's 2.5 drop disc brake spindles -1.25" front sway bar -Tokico drop shocks (still to install) -CPP shortened sway bar mounts -Prothane bushings rear: -2.25" custom billet aluminum drop blocks -CPP 6" drop springs -CPP bolt-in "C" notch -Early Classic SuperTrac bar -shock relocators (still to install) -Tokico drop shocks (still to install) rolling stock: -235/70/15 Uniroyal Tiger Paw GTS -rallyamerica.com 15x7 bare smoothie rims -rear 1" wheel spacers The front tires tuck inside the wheel well enough that there is no tire rub. The front aligns up correct. I have not had to modify the bed to clear the rear axle. I did need to modify the exhaust to dump ahead of the rear axle. The ride is actually very good and corners MUCH better. Hope this info helps get your wife's rig a bit closer to terra firma!!!

Re: Out of Hibernation...... With Pics!
Said it before and I will say it again!!! That is one bad a$$ truck!!!! One of the lowest static drops I have ever seen!!! Love it!!!! Coolers huh?? I'll play... THis one said Cola Cooler till a 18 year old girl who does some of my pinstriping got her hands on it.... Since it is usually full of adult beverages she went with the Big Boy Cola theme..

Re: Out of Hibernation...... With Pics!
C10,
now that's a nice cooler!!! she laid down some nice stripes on the cooler. looks like it came that way from the factory!! If you figure out a good way (short of drilling holes through the bottom of the cooler) to mount a cooler in bed, post pics. I have a bad feeling mine could grow legs really fast. I was going to edit my above post with more info, but I guess we don't have that option anymore..... forgot to mention on the drop recipe from above; I chopped the front lower "a" arm bump stop perch off. right now, not running any bump stops either front or back. I will eventually go with the thin hockey puck bump stops from Energy Suspension.
