47-59 53 GMC longbed project

[dsraven]

personally I think I will get flack over the mirrors I will install on my daily driver style 57 GMC. they will be large because I plan to tow with it plus I plan to be checking traffic behind me and beside me. the little old side mirrors from the days gone by are just that, gone by. if you wanna drive on todays roads with an old vehicle you really need to upgrade the steering, brakes and visibility items. then lights and wipers etc. seat belts fit in there too.
I always tell guys who ask me about hotrod upgrades and I say make it stop fast before you make it go fast. I add on that most people nowadays don't know the difference between a fan belt and a seat belt so making it look good is more important than making it go fast. the beat up looking old car that will go zero to 60 in record time, parked next to a really nice looking slug, will lose the popularity contest most times these days.
