As Chuck said, "Beautiful!"

sqrlnts · 06-26-2014, 10:03 PM

Yeah, the cab looks ok. I am thinking it wold look much better if it was right side up!!!

:-) Just kidding. It looks good even on its nose. You really are building the truck in your avatar.

Sorry it is my damn phone. It was the only way I could get it to load. I will have more sometime next week hopefully.

sqrlnts · 06-28-2014, 12:40 AM

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.

maybe because that's where they put the heater switch

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.

I see you're in Corona, Ca.
So am I so if there's anything you need I may be able to help.
You do need to start a build thread.
