Re: 1958 Saab story

I turned it around to mess with the front fenders. I cut away the necessary sheet metal to clear the fenders and held the fronts in place with Jack stands and zip ties. I'm gonna have to relocate the battery and move the radiator back a bit, but I'm loving the look. The grey fenders are from my dad's 1959 Chevy pickup when I rebuilt that for him 12 or so years ago.

Re: 1958 Saab story

Woo hoo! Good on you for getting the job done in a short time.
It kinda looks to like the front axle center line could go ahead some but that's just me. Most of these trucks get the front axle moves forward an inch to inch and half when they are lowered. That's a personal preference thing so if you like it and the tires dont rub then you're good to go.
I see the seating position us further back than a regular cab would allow. Mine too. I extended the cab on mine to accommodate that.
