Re: 1959 Fleetside REBORN
Well we're back! Been busy. So here we are today to update. We got the 2005 Silverado seats to fit. Mounts made and seat bolted and operational. Finishing the trans tunnel and driver side floor to mount steering and reposition the brake pedal.

Well we got the shifter to work, 4L60 to work on a 6L90 transmission. Not hard, just a lot of adjustments and making your own bracket. Added 2 pieces of 1/8" plate to the bottom of the tunnel to stiffen the tunnel from flexing.

Re: 1959 Fleetside REBORN
We started the steering linkage today and we need to move the brake pedal 2" to the left. Has anyone bent there Master cylinder brake lever before? If so, HOW?

Re: 1959 Fleetside REBORN
We started Saturday off hanging the driver door, getting the gap at the leading edge. Also a lot of measurements. After I got the nerve to cut on 2 good doors, no rot at the bottom of doors. First door cut, then the second. Then came two hours of tap, measure, grind and repeat.
