Re: 59 Chevy Build
Did you inspire your neighbor across the street to get a project? Looks like there is a fleet side covered up over there!

Re: 59 Chevy Build
okay, lets see if I can address everyones posts...............
pgf545 & entourageguy.....the motor isn't backwards, the truck is, it just needs to be turned around......  entourageguy, the shockwaves were the wrong ones for the fatman setup. Air ride makes a special shock specifically for the fatman application, they will be here next week. GRIMSS, not sure what you mean by changing the crossmember? I did fabricate my own crossmember because I raised the whole driveline up. Cal..........thanks man!! Poncho......the gear vendor unit is working great. I was a little concerned with the down shifting but after speaking to the great people, at gear vendors, I am going to change the fluid to synthenic and see if I can "soften" the down shift a little. Kim57..........thanks too........... GATORBUILT '59.......the truck across the street was one of my 1st generation step side '59's that I sold to him...... Thanks to everyone for all the comments.........if I missed anyone, sorry!......

Re: 59 Chevy Build
This months TOTM theme is "Big Block Power" and I have nominated your 59. I'm still amazed on how fast you built such a sweet truck and in my opinion is well deserving of a TOTM award! So to everyone else, make sure to cast your vote for for prostreet58's truck.
P.S. Bob do you have a picture of the motor since you finished? I would like to post it with the nomination.

Re: 59 Chevy Build
I just went through the thread and man what a nice build. I get so inspired by the level of craftsmanship and willingness to share from the guys here. What did the seats come out of, sorry if I missed it in the thread?

Re: 59 Chevy Build
You still have a very sweet truck and a very sweet Monte Carlo to go with it.
What more could you ask for? Kim |
