i would suggest a much bigger air cleaner, otherwise, looks nice!

55ChevyPU · 03-16-2006, 02:25 AM

that puny thing is just there to keep debree out of the motor.

Jebb1978 · 03-16-2006, 07:57 PM

Lookin sweet! That horn is really cool! This is going to be my vintage accessory.

boogie67 · 03-19-2006, 06:44 PM

Beautifull 55 you have there. I really like everything you've done can't wait to see if finished.

70-Chevy · 03-19-2006, 08:53 PM

beautiful truck! I love it

55ChevyPU · 03-19-2006, 09:20 PM

thanks for all the compliments, I just finished painting the frame and running the fuel lines. Had to make a bracket for the fuel pump/filter assembly.

55ChevyPU · 03-19-2006, 09:36 PM

so I decided im going to finish smoothing the inner fenders ive got, I really think when I finish them they will look good, against the majority vote

CAL 58 GMC · 03-20-2006, 12:54 AM

Nice job again!! Your pluming job looks GREAT!! I'm glade to see you go with the inner fenders, it will give your truck the finishing touch under the hood. Keep the pictures coming!

Jebb1978 · 03-20-2006, 01:31 PM

Yes sir, coming right along! I like your fuel tank/Delivery setup as well. I have the same pump for mine

55ChevyPU · 03-22-2006, 12:13 AM

polished the headlight switch bezel, retaining nut, and knob today.

also did my taillights, they are for the 39' ford coupe and are frenched into the roll pan.

dwcsr · 03-23-2006, 10:37 PM

I haven't seen this for a while, you've made some great progress. I wish I could have used that tank on mine. The tail lights and instrument cluster looks real good.

entourageguy · 04-19-2006, 09:54 PM

Hey 55 chev pu I must say you are doing an amazing job on your truck. I wondered where you got your dash insert? I've been crawling around on the web and found one at Brothers for $395. Any other places?
Thanks..... Brian

55ChevyPU · 04-20-2006, 03:23 AM

uh I actually live pretty close to brothers about 30 minutes to be exact. By insert do you mean gauges if so then I bought the cluster from brothers.

entourageguy · 04-20-2006, 07:33 AM

yes it was the gauge cluster I was refering to.

entourageguy · 04-24-2006, 08:22 PM

Hey 55chevpu about the fuel tank you used. Do you have the model of that Jaz tank? or at least the dimensions.
Thanks... Brian

mikar · 04-25-2006, 12:16 PM

Hey great job I can only hope my project goes as well as yours. Would you happen to know where I can find the brackets that are spot welded on the cab just ahead of the doors on the cowl that attach the top of the front fender both sides. I'm having trouble finding them here in Oregon...

ERIKJEEP · 04-25-2006, 02:35 PM

I love that color. Very nice work on dash too. Keep the pics comming I really enjoy them.

Apache · 04-25-2006, 03:52 PM

Truck is coming along great 55chevypu.
