Re: My 56 step by step
Well back to work on the pickup. The weather has been in the 20s to cold for primer so I started on windows. Had the wing window frames powder coated and reassembled them with new seals and rivets, and new glass also.

Re: My 56 step by step
Back to work on my truck hope to be working steady on it for a couple of months. I am changing the rear suspension to a four link air bag. This is a generic kit with no instructions. Any suggestions would help.
