Re: my 1955 chevy truck
First time seeing this one.. This is a great build you have going JB. I have mine on hold for now. I have been deep in my race car lately so haven't had a whole lot of time to work on the truck. Plan to start working on my cab in the next couple months.

Re: my 1955 chevy truck
Looking good, man! definitely makes me want to go ahead with the '55-'57 front end instead of the '59. It just looks better. I don't mind the 4 headlights, but Chevy could have done a little better on that ugly grille!

Re: my 1955 chevy truck
I have a question about the front IFS. When you boxed the frame did you cut the bottom rail of the frame to match the top rail. If that makes sense. On my 57 frame the bottom of the frame where the ifs goes is wider than the top and the top rail goes from a little over 2 inches and slims down to 1 inch and a half.
