Re: 1959 Fleetside REBORN
Looks like it is from the factory assembly manual, scanned and enlarged. I did the same with the wiring diagram.

Re: 1959 Fleetside REBORN
what did u use for levelers? 1x1 with a bolt in the end? great idea. That is one thing that I would have saved me a bunch of time. Weld them to the frame until you are done.

Re: 1959 Fleetside REBORN
Conduit is a great idea! Before I folded up like a cheap lawn chair and went to the old body on a new Trailblazer/Envoy frame, I considered the same rearend. Keep the photos coming. Dug

Re: 1959 Fleetside REBORN
have you thought of how the wheels will fit with the frame offset like that?
typically the frame would go over the x-member to allow the wheels to fit my 58 has P235/70R15 tires and i'm thinking 5'' to the frame, your frame offset looks a little bigger
