Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Looks great. My guages are in about the same shape with the speedo needle broke off too. My speedo shows 6000 and some miles but the truck looks like it has 600 000. LOL! Sorry I have no idea on the conversion.

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
I finally found the seat. It is an Astro 2nd row with the fold down cup holder and it was only $60 thanks to the local pull a part. Plans are to recover it in either Black and Gray and maybe add "butt warmers".

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Your "aged" paint looks pretty good. Not easy to get it to look that great. My 49 is about the same color.... except somebody painted the entire thing with a brush at some point.... yuck! Can't wait ot see it all finished and put back together

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Thank erichevy It has definitely been a chore to get the look right. I am hoping to finish the Cab (last piece) done this weekend.

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Well I am in the home stretch of the body work. 2 weeks from today "Cecil" will be in MO at SKYMANGS shop for the S-10/5.7 TPI transformation. This weekend I repainted the cab in an attempt to match the "Patina". Next week will "age" the paint by sanding and rusting it. Here are the before pics.

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
I finished up the Cab exterior this weekend and come Friday Cecil is headed to SKYMANGS shop in MO. The photos aren't that good it was late, I was tired and lighting was not that good. But here is the "aged" cab that should flow nicely with the rest of the "Rusto-Mod" look I am going for.

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Looking great Shawn! Love the patina you've re-worked. Can't wait to get this one under the knife!
Jim, I'll be updating this thread, but I have another week or 2 on my current project ('54 long-bed/Extended cab frame, LS swap) before This one. Sorry... behind schedule is just about par for the course lately!

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Chris, as fast and great as you do these conversions, I would still be thinking about what to do next. How did I miss the 54 build?...Jim

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Well, Shawn and his wife arrived with "Cecil" today... Went right into the new shop, before drywall, insulation, and wiring! That's about right for me, Truck in the bay before the building's done...
![]() Jim; I haven't done a thread on this one, or my last one come to think of it... Too busy. I'll make some time to do a thread on the '54. Elco; Thanks brother... appreciate the props. Nice seeing you at All Truck Nats last month!

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Well as Chris mentioned we loaded up Cecil and headed North to MO. Weather cooperated for the most part and other than a blow out on the trailer about 30 miles into the trip it was uneventful. Chris my wife said she couldn't tell who was more giddy when we got there you or me. That enthusiasm is why I am excited about letting you bring Cecil back to life. Sorry we didn't get more photos but it was getting late and Chris and his family were about to go the football game.
I will say his 49 is going to be SWEET when its done!

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
So here is the short list of what Chris is going to do to Cecil:
Plus a bunch that I am forgetting. Can't wait!

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Chris has started working on Cecil this weekend. He stripped the S-10 donor on Friday.

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Saturday he was able to finish the stripping the S-10 frame and then power washed it. He has ordered some the chassis parts to get this thing laying low. He thinks we can get it about 5 inches off the ground. Stay tuned.

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Had wondered why we hadn't seen anything on this build, from you or Chris. Glad it is started and look forward to more updates...Jim

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Sorry all, got a little farther behind on the '54 than planned. I'm ready to get cranking on Cecil as soon as the Thanksgiving weekend is over. I've ordered a TON of parts already, I'm going to change up how I do this one a bit, and do the suspension work before body fitment. That way I can build it around those monstrous tires. I am also starting out by cutting an inch out of my cab mounts, I'll tack them together, and fit the body, that way it's easy to take more out if I need to.
The rear tires measure 32.25" tall... it's going to be a chore to get it low! Also, the '54 has it's own thread now. Rico F. is the title.
