Got a little done. Takes longer when you have to be careful.

Re: My Blue 1957 build
Wow, thats damn nice looking. I am going to be one of those guys who doesn't read your hole post but just asks instead. What spring hangers and shackles are you using?
Thanks and keep up the excellent work. |

Re: My Blue 1957 build
It seems like they almost always have holes in them, why?

Re: My Blue 1957 build

![]() my 59 panel didn't have the hole, but it also didn't have a factory heater

My first post..........it took me two hours to read everything since 2012, but well worth it. Looking forward to seeing the finished product, Great work!
I'm trying to restore my brother's truck that he had for over 30 years, but passed away in 2012 and wasn't able to restore it. Now I'm going to give it a shot and finish his dream. It's a 1958 GMC 100 step side short bed. I'll be around here often asking for advise since I never done this before. ![]() |
