Re: 1955 chevy short bed build..
Sweet ride.
How did it sound with the exhaust exiting before the rear wheels (right under the steps)?? I was thinking about routing mine the same but I was concerned about the noice level in the cab. Of course the mufflers will have a lot to do with the noise level. |

Of course I am using the Flowmaster 40 series (aka firecrackers in a steel garbage can). Add to it that I am running 420 hp sbc. In the future I may decide to finish running the exhaust out the back. |

Re: 1955 chevy short bed build..
Nice ride.
It looks like they notched the frame for the fuel filler neck, did they do any boxing around it. I know there are not going to be much stress on the frame back there. Do you know what tank they used? Sorry for the question, but one day mine might look half as good as this one. You guys are doing a good job, thanks for posting. Steve |

Re: 1955 chevy short bed build..
That truck is fine, and I'm wondering about the headliner also.
I wish I'd looked closely at this thread before I installed my Vintage Aire a/c. I followed their instructions but I like the way you ran the hoses through the firewall much better. |

Re: 1955 chevy short bed build..
Hey wanyne..Next time you talk to your interior guy can you ask him what kind of carpet that was he used in this truck. A source would be great also. I know it is a lot to ask but I know a guy that needs some in black...
Thanks man Marc

Re: 1955 chevy short bed build..
That's the story of my life. A day late and a dollar short. When I was looking through this build thead, I thought man it would be nice to have someone else complete my interior. Damn you budget!!
Thanks in advance for finding out. Marc
