Great look!!

ralf · 02-04-2012, 06:34 PM

Way cool!

jonathan-m · 02-04-2012, 06:58 PM

That's a damn near perfect fit. I love the way it fits the curve of the bed.

truckdrivinsob · 02-04-2012, 09:18 PM

It really is like it was meant to be! Can't believe how well the lines work together!

Hagelin · 02-04-2012, 09:59 PM

Looks real good! looking forward to seeing a pic when you see the whole back and both lights!

ya know when i first saw the picture i kind of thought thats what he was going for! i think that would be cool. these lights look really cool i like what youre doing for sure!

Man different but very cool looking....I like...

Iron-Butt · 02-05-2012, 06:05 AM

Looks good.

chevyrestoguy · 02-05-2012, 12:09 PM

Very nice! Changing taillights can oftentimes be hit-or-miss. You made a nice choice because it really accentuates the curvature of the bedside. It looks factory!

I've seen guys try long rectangular lights (i.e: Caddy), and I'm not a real fan of them. It's really hard to top what GM designed back in the '60s. Those guys had their act together. If you compare a Ford or Dodge truck style in the '60s to a Chevy or GMC, it's not even close.

I'll keep an eye out for you! I'm in apple valley also. Just hadn't changed my info.

markeb01 · 02-05-2012, 07:49 PM

Well thought out and well executed. Looks great.

JRANGER · 02-05-2012, 09:16 PM

damn that looks good

**Captainfab** · 02-06-2012, 12:32 AM

Looks good

Reminds me of the '58-'59 fleetsides.

truckdrivinsob · 02-06-2012, 09:48 AM

Thanks guys I appreciate all the feed back!

I am a simple is better guy. I like the idea but I think when its done and the stock bumpers are on and the bed is all smoothed out. No stake pockets no tailgate chains. It'll look right. Before you place to much judgment let me get it finished first!

A fellow High Desert resident!! When I posted on your thread, I had no idea you were local. We should meet up sometime. There's a few High Desert guys here on the site, and we should all get together when Farmer Boys starts up their cruise night in the spring. My '64 won't be ready, but we can just meet up and grab a burger and B.S.

About your avatar: Is that your truck? The reason why I'm asking is that I'm looking for an original white patina'd tailgate for my '64 and that truck in your avatar is almost a twin to mine. I have a really nice tailgate, but it's primered. I'd trade tailgates and throw in some nice extra parts to sweeten the deal.

truckdrivinsob · 04-08-2012, 06:42 PM

More work has been done! Think they are looking nice!!!

JRANGER · 04-08-2012, 06:44 PM

nice

Pop's C-10 · 04-08-2012, 06:58 PM

Perfect

**Captainfab** · 04-08-2012, 10:08 PM

Yes that is looking very nice. At first I didn't think I would like those tail lights, but I do like them.

**jocko** · 04-08-2012, 10:14 PM

when I read the title, I thought "oh no, someone butchered another stocker!!" - then I looked at the thread. Wow, I think those look great!! Beautiful job on the bodywork. You may have started a fad. I mean trend. Very cool.

markeb01 · 04-08-2012, 10:35 PM

That looks fantastic in primer. It is so well executed it could almost pass for stock without the lamp installed.

mud.man.rj · 04-08-2012, 10:44 PM

Very good choice and great fab job.

**ChiefRocka** · 04-08-2012, 11:27 PM

I agree....looks factory.
