Re: 1959 Fleetside REBORN
The idea was stolen from Kabwe! He just used a original style 47-54, but they are expensive and I need 2 of them.

Re: 1959 Fleetside REBORN
Well it's taking awhile to find time for the truck but we finished the floor, except for the trans cover extension, but we need the seats in to see about a console first. Tuesday the roof?

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.
